Riding is a wonderful sport and hobby, trotting out in the open air with a trusted friend. Galloping alone or with others is an excellent way to relax, stay fit, enjoy the open air and countryside and indulge in one of the King’s sports but for every reason listed herein, an example is shown of why taking care of our new found friend with equine insurance is so important.
And not only the horse’s health either. When buying into a sport such as Horse Riding, you have to ensure you have everything in place before you make the final payment and arrange for delivery.
Where will you keep the horse, do you have stables nearby? who will maintain injections, have you chosen a vet? is all the paperwork secure, do you have enough financially to cater for all the horse’s requirements for the foreseeable future?
Then there’s the equipment, from saddle to reigns and stirrups to the horses hooves and don’t forget yourself either. Equine insurance doesn’t just cover the horse’s health, the rider too can be covered against accident and injury and for the horse you’re riding too. Yes, not unlike car insurance as a passenger you can cover the horse you’re riding even if it’s not your own.
As with any pet or animal and human relationship, the emphasis is on the animal and in this case the horse. Whether competing in sport for racing, hurdles, polo or simply a hobby and for leisure, equine insurance can meet your horse’s health needs long term and ten, fifteen and twenty years down the line.
So while you may have the stable sorted, all the equine accessories and suitable attire, the money to pay for feed and check ups and licenses, don’t horse around when it comes to your horse’s health, prepare for the unknown with equine insurance.
