At BFL CANADA we love horses as much as you do. We know that your horses are more than just a high-valued investment — they are your passion!

Let's build a custom insurance solution
Rely on BFL CANADA’s equine insurance and horse insurance professionals to customize a policy that not only suits your needs but also reduces your total cost of risk.
Protects you against the death of your horse by accident, sickness, illness, disease, fire, theft or humane destruction. Examples include but are not limited to: colic, neurological disorders, transportation, mishaps, fractures of the leg, etc.
Covers emergency surgeries under a general anesthetic but is not limited to surgery. If your horse suffers from an injury, sickness or illness and requires medical attention, you can submit a claim over and above your deductible. For example, if your horse suffers from a tendon injury, severe laceration or colic and requires diagnostics and treatments, the Major Medical Insurance will respond to your needs. It does not, however, cover regular maintenance or wear and tear (navicular, degenerative joint disease or arthritis).
Remember to ask your broker if there are any limits on diagnosis or treatment, or you may be subject to a financial loss depending on the terms of your policy.
Provides coverage for accidental bodily injury or property damage to a third party arising out of the use and/or ownership of a horse either on or off the premises.
Provides protection for your home, contents, outbuildings, tools, equipment, tack/saddlery, personal and commercial liability, premise liability, liability for non-owned horses in your care, custody and control, accidental death and dismemberment insurance, additional expenses, and more.
The advantage of this coverage is that it can be adapted to suit your particular situation, whether you own or lease a hobby farm, commercial equestrian facility, breeding operation, or racing stable.
Covers bodily injury, property damage and stableman’s liability. This policy is for freelance coaches, instructors or officials, and extends from location to location.
Provides protection for a club’s various activities. These activities may include horse shows, fundraisers, club rides, clinics, award banquets, etc. It also includes comprehensive general liability and stableman’s liability (care, custody and control of non-owned horses).
Reimburse you for damage or loss directly caused, for example, by fire, lightning, theft, collision or overturning of the vehicle. This coverage can be added in addition to the mortality coverage for your horse trailer and its equipment.
Guarantees in the event that your horse has a major sickness or injury during the policy term that your Mortality Insurance will be renewed on the same terms and conditions as the previous year for an additional 12 months. For example, if your horse has colic surgery, the value will not be reduced on the renewal and the insurer will not exclude colic under the mortality coverage for the following 12-month period.
Protects against fire and theft. Theft often occurs at horse shows, and you sure don’t want to lose your best saddle! Tack and Equipment coverage is subject to a locked vehicle, tack box or premise warranty.
Covers postmortem the cost of a necropsy and removal of the body. Both of these can be costly expenses following the death of a horse.
Reimburse any non-refundable entry and stall fees if your horse falls ill or is injured prior to leaving for a competition and you have to withdraw from the competition.

Provides coverage for loss or damage to contents stored in your horse trailer.
Protects yourself against a loss that could occur while in flight. When shipping a horse via aircraft, you must extend your coverage to include exposure on an aircraft. This covers includes the Berserk Clause. The Worldwide extension covers the horse during the quarantine process and while loading/unloading.
Protects your corporate entity and its directors’ and officers’ personal liability from third-party lawsuits and defence-related costs. Coverage should include employment practices liability, environmental liability defence costs, outside directorship liability and more.
Provides extensive protection for the organizers, volunteers, officials or other participants of equestrian competitions. There are packages available for all types of horse shows (permit, schooling).
