Treat 63 Report post Posted August 6, 2018 Just wanting some opinions on foal insurance, which companies people are happy dealing with? I'm breeding to race. Lower budget ($5000) stallion fee. What insurance packages do people find best and approx. costs? Thank you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treat 63 Report post Posted August 8, 2018 Took the risk last year and ended up with a decent vet bill and a dead foal ! Haven't found a chrystal ball which tells if a breeding's going to be a good one either, isn't that why we breed, hoping for a good one!

Nerula 1,389 Report post Posted August 8, 2018 Get some options from the girls at JLT. If it was me I would just insure the service fee and carry the other myself. Owning is a precarious business and if you lose the horse you will have a service fee to go again Dwyn, Paddymc and Ruby 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruby 160 Report post Posted August 8, 2018 I lost a colt before he was 1yr - I was thankful that he was insured. I've had insurance with both NZB and JLT happy with the service of both but JLT's rates were lower. Paddymc and Treat 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huey 2,037 Report post Posted August 8, 2018 I guess it not as expensive as insuring a racehorse? If you like the foal surely insure if it means something to you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
