Shearwater Insurance has just announced the launch of a special “Tack Shop” policy that acknowledges the fundamental and often subtle differences between it and that which has been previously available to tack shops - a standard shop policy. Shearwater has a wealth of experience in the equestrian sector and currently provides policies for Horses, Horse Boxes & Trailers, Yards, Public Liability and Personal Accident. Tack insurance is already available to both professional and amateur clients so the new tack shop policy is a natural progression for Shearwater to extend into the commercial world. Not only does it provide cover for the shop but it also extends to provide insurance cover for trade stands at events. This all encompassing policy covers Accidental Damage, Business Interruption, Buildings Cover (including subsidence) Loss of Rent, Shop Front and Glass Extension, Public & Employer’s Liability, Stock, Goods in Transit, Money Cover, Electronic & Computer Equipment and Business Records. Below are just some of the additional benefits available to clients and apply to all the policies: 1.)
Free non-obligatory quotation service Shearwater Insurance was established in 1992 by Jeremy Lawton, who said ‘Shearwater's policy is, and will always be, that the client is entitled to a personal service, where they can contact a member of my staff 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Every member of staff in the Equine Insurance department cares and understands about horses and the problems that can arise in the equine industry.’

| Classic Move for Shearwater |
 |
| Shearwater Insurance, the well-known equestrian insurance broker
and sponsor / owner of British Olympic three-day event horse Shear
L’Eau, ridden by Sydney Olympic Silver Medallist, Leslie Law has
added a different form of horsepower to its portfolio with the launch
of a unique new policy for classic car owners.
The company has a wealth of experience in the high net worth insurance sector, already covering policies for equestrian pursuits, home and contents, antiques and travel as well as the motor industry. The new scheme is designed for the high-value classic car, specialising in policies for cover in excess of £25,000, but also caters for standard classic cars. It includes the different categories of insurance under which classic cars have to be legally insured. To mark the launch of the new policy, Shearwater has taken over sponsorship of the SR3 Radical racing car, driven in the 2004 Radical Enduro Championship by Essex-based driver James Baxter. The car was formerly sponsored by Maxted-Page & Baxter Ltd, Worldwide dealers in fine historic and collectors cars for road and competition. `Maxted-Page & Baxter Ltd is run from company founder Lee Maxted-Page’s secure and de-humidified premises at his rural Essex farmhouse and endorses the Shearwater policy. So much so, his customers can now benefit from the special terms of this policy, which guarantees 24 hour a day, 7 days a week customer service. To further emphasise Shearwater’s link between equestrian sport and motor cars, they also insure the livery yard owned by Maxted-Page’s wife Amanda, who runs her equestrian business from their Essex home. “Launching the new policy for classic cars is a natural progression for us,” explains Shearwater Insurance’s managing director Jeremy Lawton. “As a company we pride ourselves on the pursuit of excellence at the top level and I am delighted to be involved with two sportsmen who share that goal in Leslie Law and James Baxter. The SR3 has performed consistently well in the 2004 Radical Enduro Championship, having finished in each race, and Shearwater is proud to be associated with such an exciting emerging racing talent.” Lawton also has the chance of sharing in Olympic success in Athens later this month. Leslie Law won a team silver in Sydney four years ago with Shear H20 and will be hoping to go one better in Athens with that horse’s younger brother Shear L’Eau. Both horses are owned by Shearwater Insurance, which has supported Law for the past 10 years. Since its inception in 1992, Shearwater has specialised in the equestrian sector and currently provides policies for horses, horseboxes and trailers, yards, public liability and personal accident.
