Are you covered for high-risk winter activities?

With the winter months playing host to a range of high-risk equestrian activities, such as hunting, point-to-pointing and team chasing, leading UK equestrian insurance provider Petplan Equine reminds riders to check that these activities are covered under their current insurance policy.

The majority of insurance companies offer at least two groups of cover which relate to the activities a rider does with their horse. However Petplan Equine offers seven different levels of cover, for example a leisure rider will have a lower level of cover than a seasoned eventer. This means Petplan Equine policy holders only pay for the cover that they actually need.

As the activities begin to change it is important that horse owners check with their insurance company that they have the right level of cover and that vet fees and personal accidents are included. Once an insurance policy has been taken out it is possible to upgrade it if the level of activity changes.

Having the right level of cover is very important and will ensure you won’t take any financial knocks if you or your horse is involved in an accident.
