By law, a horse owner is responsible for any property damage, injury or accident that their horse may cause. This can be both on and off their own premises. An injured party has the right to seek monetary compensation from you as a result of your horse’s actions. Equine insurance will protect you and your family from financial losses; not many people can afford to hand over thousands of dollars out of pocket. Such instances would include if your horse were to bite, kick, throw a rider, or if your horse manages to escape onto a road and cause an automobile accident. Additionally, you could be held liable if something happens to someone else’s horse that is under your care. - What protection is available for my horse?
Equine insurance can also protect the financial investment that you have put into your horses. If your horse has been injured or becomes sick, coverage is available to help with the unexpected medical expenses that may be incurred. The options are many, veterinarian bills, medicine, x rays and MRI’s, extra expenses, loss of use, to name a few. - Is equestrian equipment covered?
