Horse Rider Insurance
Designed specifically for horse riders our personal accident insurance policy offers the protection every rider needs.
A Helping Hand Should You Fall
Having to take time off because you’re laid up with an injury can be a hard pill to swallow. For those who are active in their job, such as people working in the equestrian industry, becoming suddenly sedentary can be especially difficult.
Beyond this frustration, there are financial implications. How will you pay your bills? Will you be able to support any dependants? Working yourself up with these worries is not helpful when you need to focus on your recovery.
- Fixed benefit amount paid in the event of death
- Loss of sight, loss of limb, permanent total disability
- Temporary total disability
- Weekly benefits
With its inherent risks, horse riding is considered one of the most dangerous sports in the UK, and an injury sustained while working with horses could be one that keeps you from work for weeks, months or even permanently. Anyone who participates accepts these risks, which is why it’s so important to embrace horse rider insurance as a necessity.
The price of protection?? From as little as £90 per year for amateur riders, and from £148 per year for professional riders.
