Veteran Horse Insurance

What is Veteran Horse Insurance?

Veteran horse insurance is a type of policy designed specifically for older horses and ponies. Although the individual benefits provided under the policy will differ from one insurance company to another, veteran horse insurance provides essential cover in the event of an accident or injury.

Why take out Veteran Horse Insurance?

The equine industry has undergone some key changes in recent years. Advances in treatment and nutrition mean that our horses are able to enjoy more active and healthier lives than ever before. The increased longevity of veteran horses allows owners to use them as a valuable asset in a competition environment as well as continuing to enjoy a working lifestyle - albeit at a more relaxed pace.

Unfortunately time does take its toll and veteran horses are not only more susceptible to injury, the recovery period following treatment can typically be longer compared to their younger contemporaries. If in the unfortunate event your horse was involved in an accident and needed veterinary attention then a veteran horse insurance policy could help towards the cost of treatment. Should the accident involve another horse, rider or property then most policies would also provide Third Party Liability cover to help protect against the costs of any legal action taken against you.
