WHY HAVE HORSE INSURANCE?

Horse owners know all too well that if your horse or pony becomes ill, looking after it can be very costly.  Sophisticated veterinary procedures can be eye-wateringly expensive.  Emergency surgery, for example for a colic operation, can easily cost several thousand Euros.

Illness, injury, theft or an accident can happen at any time to your horse and may result in unexpected bills.

Accidents involving your horse may result in you being seriously injured or legally responsible to pay large amounts of compensation and legal bills.

PUBLIC LIABILITY INSURANCE FOR HORSE AND RIDER

Public Liability Insurance  for horse riders is essential. It's not only the responsibility and safety of the rider and horse but pedestrians and drivers too.

Regardless of how well you know the roads and riding route, or how responsible you are as a horse rider, you still never know what's approaching.

Public liability insurance protects you should an incident occur with your horse, which results in an injury to a third party or causes damage to their property. Should a member of the public make a successful claim against you, the policy would pay any damages awarded, should you be found legally liable, and associated legal costs.

It is important when considering taking out equine insurance that you choose a reputable (or high rated) provider with a specialism in the equestrian industry.
