Private Stables Insurance
Your private stables are often the epicentre of your world, don't settle for second best and invest in specialist insurance for your horse's home.
Your stable yard may look very different to another. Maybe you have a handful of stables, large feed store and tack room, or a barn full of expensive machinery. Either way, if your yard was flooded tomorrow, or if one of your barns caught fire, do you feel confident that your insurance would cover it?

Arranging a private yard insurance policy through Shearwater is certainly easy. We tailor our policies for your individual needs and we do not recommend any additional extras unless they are suitable for you. In fact, it’ll take no extra effort or time on your part – this is all on us at Shearwater – as it’s our job to create an insurance package that puts your individual priorities top of the list and have everything else covered along the way.
Shearwater has many years of experience when it comes to understanding the requirements of a livery yard owner. The result is a range of insurance policies designed specifically for protecting you as the owner, along with your staff and your customers. From riding instructors and livery yards to stud farms, Shearwater specialise in finding insurance solutions designed to protect you and help ensure you and your business financially covered.
Quality cover for piece of mind
Some people might be tempted to protect their private yard with insurance that’s quick and cheap, so you know that the cover is there, but the whole point of spending money on a premium is that you know your cover is going to set you right financially if you’re hit by a disaster. If you’ve rushed your insurance policy, there might be exclusions in your schedule that you didn’t know about, and will only discover when your hay stock has been decimated by a fire, an expensive vehicle stolen, or equipment damaged in heavy rainfall.
Putting things back after a claim
Normality is something we take for granted, longing for it only when everything has been turned upside down. We don’t promise that normality will prevail every day with a private yard insurance policy arranged by Shearwater, but we do promise that strong protection will, so long as you trust our experts to do their level best to have you covered.
