    I honestly can’t get over how quickly our claim was all finalised. Thanks Vaunie and HQ for making it all so simple and efficient!

    We find it extremely important to protect thoroughbred investments. Quality mares are extremely hard to replace in the current market so to have that financial assurance when a loss occurs helps us keep the level of broodmare band we require. Likewise insuring foals helps us ensure the service fee we have invested in those foals is protected.

    I have been dealing with HQ Insurance for over five years and found all the staff to be warm friendly and extremely efficient with regarding all types of horse insurance issues. When I have had the misfortune of losing one of my valuable bloodstock, their ability to attend to claims promptly and with understanding is second to none.

    Fall of the hammer insurance is an important risk mitigating undertaking for us to protect our investment and that of our clients. Post sale we deem our yearlings to be at the highest risk as many for the first time live somewhere outside of the farm they were born and grew up on, many of these locations with far greater on-farm activity than they would be accustomed to. They also interact with new people who have facilities, systems and processes different to what our yearling may be used to.

    We are one of the only equine insurance brokers in Australia to offer AGREED VALUE Clause on all of our policies. What does this mean? It means we will pay you out the sum you are insured for on the policy, unlike Fair Market Value.

    ⁉️ WHY INSURE ⁉️

    Ask yourself the question, “if I lost my horse, could I afford to purchase another horse of the same age, breeding and level of training?”

    The most common misconception about taking out equine insurance is the expense. We get it, all costs add up. But with increasing purchase prices and surgery costs, insurance will actually save you the risk in the long run. Horses are an expensive financial investment and insurances eases the financial pressure associated with owning one.

    At HQ, we understand horses have different purposes for different people and industries and that’s why we offer options to cover those that are used for enjoyment and leisure to the ultimate professional income-making investment.
