Frequently asked questions

1. What is Bloodstock Insurance?

Bloodstock Insurance provides indemnity to the owner in the event of the horse's death due to illness, accident or, in certain circumstances, humane euthanasia on veterinary grounds.

  • Veterinary expenses following life-saving surgery
  • Hospitalisation
3. What is the difference between Bloodstock Insurance and Equine Health Insurance?

Bloodstock Insurance provides financial indemnity in the event of the horse's death.
Equine Health Insurance covers veterinary expenses while the horse is alive.

4. Can all horses be insured?

Acceptance age is generally between 6 months and 14 years. Beyond 14 years, each case is assessed individually.

A veterinary examination may be required before the policy is accepted. Horses with pre-existing medical conditions or injuries may be subject to exclusions.

5. How is my horse's insured value determined?

The sum insured is agreed between the Policyholder and the Insurer at the beginning of the policy and remains unchanged throughout the policy year.

6. Is there a waiting period?

No. Once the veterinary questionnaire has been completed, accepted by the Insurer and the premium has been paid, there is no waiting period.

7. Is my horse covered outside Portugal?

The policy covers transport and temporary stays throughout Europe. Cover outside Europe is assessed on a case-by-case basis.

8. Does the insurance cover competitions?

Yes. Competition use is covered, provided it has been declared and accepted by the Insurer.

13. What happens if my horse dies?

The Policyholder must:

  • Notify the Insurer immediately;

  • Where requested, allow a veterinary inspection or post-mortem examination.

Once the claim has been validated, the indemnity will be paid in accordance with the policy.

14. What documents are required to issue the policy?

A completed insurance proposal form, the veterinary questionnaire and any additional documentation requested by the Insurer.

15. Is a veterinary examination mandatory?
