Trailer Breakdown Assistance
Essential roadside assistance for those towing horses in a trailer.
Specialist Horse Trailer Roadside Assistance
There are those unhelpful times your towing vehicle or trailer may breakdown whilst on the move, putting you and your equine passengers in a dangerous situation.
The job of breakdown assistance providers is to rescue you from your plight as soon as possible.
-
Transport for your horses if your vehicle cannot be repaired at the roadside
-
Overnight livery if required
-
Trailer recovery to secure location or garage should it not be fixable on the roadside
-
Tow vehicle cover can also be included (subject to the cover being purchased)
-
Roadside assistance for tyre failure
Rescue & Recovery
As part of the assistance service, policy holders will have access to a dedicated control centre co-ordinating all emergency and rescue services, providing that essential personal service for you and your horse.
We won't leave you stranded at the side of the road, with callout and attendance of a mechanical agent for breakdown & tyre failure of your horse trailer all included.
Should the mechanic be unable to fix the issue we'll recover you horse trailer to nearest agreed repair facility, or your home, or your original destination
Transport For Your Horse
Care of your horse is paramount which is why fresh horse transport is provided to take your horses home, or to any other destination in the UK, if roadside repair of your horse trailer (or towing vehicle)* is not possible
If required overnight accommodation for horses, drivers and grooms can be provided/covered, if onward transport is not practical.
In addition, veterinary support, farrier referral, and slaughter/carcass services can be provided on a pay-on-use basis.

When the wheels fell off my lorry the Shearwater team were incredible. They called to check up on me, they arranged recovery and when the lorry was deemed a write off I was even given the option of keeping the scrap or not.

Shearwater not only provided a much more comprehensive policy but at an incredibly competitive price. Everything was very simple.

We've insured with Shearwater for a number of years and have always been very impressed with the customer service, claims handling, and competitive pricing. I've now moved all of our business and personal polices to Shearwater

It is a comfort to know that the horses are Insured with Shearwater. They are a professional but friendly company, competitive and knowledgeable. On the claim we had they were fast and efficient and nothing was too much trouble. Would happily recommend Shearwater Insurance, especially as they have such a vast range of options from everything equine to travel and household.
