New Zealand Bloodstock Ltd is a registered Lloyd's Coverholder. We place all our insurance with Lloyd's of London, an offshore provider and therefore GST of 15% will apply to all insurance policies of New Zealand residents from 1 October 2016. In the event of a bona fide claim the settlement figure will be the sum insured GST inclusive. 

If you are an Australian resident, you can only apply to purchase this insurance if your horse is not:

   (i) you as the insured; or

   (ii) your relatives; or

   (iii) any person with whom you reside; and

b) ordinarily used for that purpose.
