Hollard Equipage is South Africa’s leading provider of equine insurance. We provide smart, innovative horse insurance covers for all equine enthusiasts, including studs, competitive riders and those who enjoy the occasional hack.
Equipage Insurance Brokers (now known as Hollard Equipage), established in 1996, grew out of an abiding love affair with horses. As riders ourselves, we know the deep bonds that our customers form with their horses. And we appreciate that as both living creatures and possessions, horses require specialised insurance.
At Hollard Equipage, our product offerings, our service ethic and our expertise are what set us apart. When our customers insure their horses with us, they benefit from the in-depth knowledge of like-minded, horse-owning individuals who understand that their particular requirements go beyond the needs of an ordinary investment.
Investing in a horse is so much more than just buying an asset: it’s an investment into a living, breathing creature of beauty. The stark reality is that horses can become ill, suffer injuries, need surgery or, in the worst case, die.
Owning and taking care of a horse can be financially onerous, so it makes sense to cover unforeseen and unplanned expenses. Our customisable insurance policies include the following:
We’re bred in purple! Our acquisition in 2019 by Hollard – South Africa’s largest independent insurer, which was included in the 2020 BrandZ Top 30 Most Valuable SA Brands – brings two thoroughbreds in the SA insurance marketplace together.
We sell policies direct as well as through broker channels. Brokers are welcome to contact us to add Equipage to their product offerings.
