Equine properties—from boarding stables and riding schools to breeding farms and training centres—play an essential role in Canada’s agricultural and recreational landscape. But caring for horses and maintaining large rural facilities comes with significant risk. From fire hazards to animal-related injuries, specialized insurance is crucial for protecting property, people, and the horses themselves. 🛡️

Why Equine Properties Face Elevated Risks

🔹 Barn & Stable Fire Risks 🔥🏚️
Hay, bedding, electrical systems, and heating equipment can ignite quickly, putting both horses and buildings at risk.

🔹 Animal Injury & Liability 🐎⚠️
Horses may kick, bite, spook, or escape—leading to injuries involving riders, visitors, or other animals.

🔹 Property Damage from Horses 💥🚧
Fences, stalls, gates, and arenas endure constant wear and can be damaged by impact or severe weather.

🔹 Equipment & Machinery Exposure 🚜🔧
Tractors, arena groomers, and farm tools require protection from breakdowns and accidental damage.
