Benefits
Death
Your horse is covered if it dies or has to be euthanised due to an accidental, external and visible injury.
Vet costs
This policy does not cover veterinary costs to treat your horse.
Death due to illness or disease
This policy does not cover death of your horse due to an illness or disease.
FMG’s Horse External Accident Only policy covers a range of horses, including leisure, on farm and equestrian horses, between 1 to 21 years old and up to $7,500 in value.
This cover insures your horse for death in New Zealand only, including when in transit on land, caused by an accidental, external and visible injury.
If you’ve taken out this policy with FMG for 12 months or longer, you’re automatically insured for a 90-day cover extension. So, if your horse dies within 90 days of your period of insurance ending, and you notified FMG of the accidental injury, prior to your period of insurance ending, we’ve got you covered.
What we pay
We’ll pay fair market value of your horse, up to the sum insured, plus GST, for any one event.
Fair market value
This is what a buyer would have reasonably expected to pay for your horse immediately before the loss and takes into account several factors including competition history and breed of the horse.
