Our specialists know how to help when it comes to protecting your investment. We offer insurance products for insuring bloodstock in New Zealand, including:

Protecting your racehorses

Owning a racehorse comes with inherent risks, from accidents and illnesses to unexpected injuries that can end a racing career. We help you get insured with financial protection against these risks, allowing you to focus on your horse's performance and well-being. Gallagher can cover:

• death or destruction on humane grounds due to injury, sickness or disease
• first-year stallion infertility (congenital, not due to illness or accident)
• basic theft risks
• domestic and international transit
• permanent and accidental loss of use
• broodmares, foetuses and foals

In addition to sport horses, we can also insure livestock, including alpacas and deer.

Horse lovers, racehorse riders, professional trainers, breeders and farmers have all benefited from the experience of our bloodstock specialist brokers. We can package horse insurance that covers the needs of any size New Zealand farm, family, individual, stud or stable.
