General information on a few niche business types that don't fit neatly elsewhere. Nothing here is a statement that coverage exists or applies to your business.

General information only. This page describes activities and risk topics in general terms - it is not a statement that insurance coverage applies or is available for any specific business, animal, or activity. Coverage, terms, and eligibility vary by carrier, state, and underwriting review of the individual risk. This is educational content, not insurance, legal, or financial advice.

Brown donkey in a field

Beer Burro

A "beer burro" - a trained donkey, mini horse, or similar animal that carries drinks to guests at events and wedding cocktail hours - is a newer, niche offering. Whether insurance options may be available depends heavily on the specific carrier and how the activity is structured; this is not a statement that coverage exists for this activity.

Goats grazing in a pasture

Goat Rental Business for Landscaping

Renting goats out for vegetation clearing and land management is a distinct business model from a petting zoo - the goats are typically working on client property, unsupervised by the public, rather than being handled by visitors. Availability of insurance for this kind of operation depends on the carrier's underwriting of the specific setup.

A large inflatable bounce house set up in a yard

Moon Bounce / Bounce House

Inflatables such as moon bounces and bounce houses are frequently added alongside animal businesses at events, but they carry their own distinct risk profile separate from animal-contact exposure, and many carriers treat them differently (some carriers exclude inflatables from a general liability policy entirely). If your business includes an inflatable, be sure to flag it clearly on your application - our form specifically asks about this so it can be reviewed by underwriting.
