Horse owners across the UK have just ten days to take out horse insurance with Petplan Equine, to be in with a chance of winning a once-in-a-lifetime ride with world number one William Fox-Pitt at the Festival of British Eventing on Friday 13th July.

Take out horse insurance with the UK's specialist equine insurer before midnight on 30th June and you could be one of just two lucky prize-winners joining William Fox-Pitt on a hack around the Festival at Gatcombe Park, home of HRH the Princess Royal.

It's not only a great opportunity to ride with one of Britain's top medal prospects but you'll also have the chance to talk to William about being selected to ride for Team GB in front of a home crowd, and even gain a few top tips. And that's not all – you'll join Lucinda Green MBE on a course walk on the Saturday of the event followed by a VIP lunch.

As part of this series of special initiatives, Petplan Equine is giving horse enthusiasts across the UK special access to updates from William about his form, team and the horses that are crucial to his success.
