Insurance Information

Accidents are never pleasant, but they are a fact of life for all of us. Even if we take every possible precaution, we can’t prevent the unexpected happening, so insurance is important to protect ourselves.

Anyone who owns, rides or looks after a horse is strongly advised to carry public liability insurance cover, because they may be legally liable to pay compensation for any damage or injury caused by their horse. Personal injury compensation claims can sometimes run into the millions, meaning that anyone who is uninsured risks losing their home and any other assets.

Find out more about why all equestrians should have public liability insurance.
