Warmblood
Insurance
Specialist equine insurance tailored for Warmblood horses and their riders across South Africa's competitive dressage and show jumping community.
Protecting Your
Warmblood Partner
German and Dutch Warmbloods dominate South Africa's top competition arenas for good reason — they combine athleticism, temperament and trainability. But these elite sport horses represent substantial financial investments that demand specialist insurance.
The very qualities that make Warmbloods exceptional — their powerful movement, jumping ability and willingness to perform — also place them at risk for specific injuries that can end a competition career overnight.

Insurance Built for
Warmblood Horses
Every Warmblood is different. We tailor cover to your horse's value, competition level and specific risk profile — from FEI-level to young horse classes.
All Risk Mortality
Comprehensive cover for death resulting from illness, disease, accident or injury. The foundation of any Warmblood insurance policy.
Loss of Use

Accidental External Injury
Financial support for veterinary treatment when your Warmblood sustains accidental physical injuries — from stable accidents to competition incidents.
Tournament & Competition Cover
Extended protection for Warmbloods actively competing in dressage, show jumping or eventing across the South African circuit. Includes transport to and from events.
Warmbloods:
Key Injury Risks
Warmbloods face specific health and injury risks related to their size, athletic demands and competition intensity. Understanding these helps you choose the right cover.
Suspensory Ligament Injuries
The most common serious injury in sport Warmbloods. Proximal suspensory desmitis can end a dressage or jumping career. Loss of Use cover is essential.
Joint & Orthopaedic Conditions
Warmbloods are prone to osteoarthritis, bone spavin and other joint issues due to their size and the repetitive demands of collected work and jumping efforts.
Jumping Impact Injuries
The repetitive impact of landing after fences places enormous strain on forelimbs. Fence impact trauma and competition falls require immediate costly veterinary care.
Illness & Disease
African Horse Sickness, colic and respiratory conditions affect all horses. All Risk Mortality cover provides peace of mind against unforeseen health crises.
Pre-Existing Conditions
Previous injuries or conditions may affect insurability. We work with you to find suitable cover that accurately reflects your Warmblood's history.
Loss of Competition Value
A Warmblood that can no longer compete loses significant market value. Loss of Use cover protects the substantial financial investment in your sport horse.
