Horse Public Liability Insurance
Find out why horse owners and riders need third party cover and why it's Harry Hall's mission to provide affordable cover
Public liability insurance for horse riders is widely recommended. It’s not only the responsibility and safety of the rider and horse but pedestrians and drivers too. Regardless of how well you know the roads and riding route, or how responsible you are as a horse rider, you still never know what’s approaching.
Examples of claims made under an equine public liability insurance policy
What is horse public liability insurance?
Public liability insurance protects you should an incident occur with your horse, which results in an injury to a third party or causes damage to their property. Should a member of the public make a successful claim against you, the policy would pay any damages awarded, should you be found legally liable, and associated legal costs. It is important when considering taking out equine insurance that you choose a reputable (or high rated) provider with a specialism in the equestrian industry.
Do you need public liability insurance?
It is recommended by many industry professionals that you do, as your own assets could be at risk. As a rider, it’s your responsibility to be mindful of those around you, like you would if you were driving a vehicle.
We understand the challenges faced when taking your horse out onto public roads and riding routes. This is why Harry Hall One Club Membership includes public liability cover which extends to cover the legal costs incurred by defending an action brought against you by a third party. As a rider, you must be more aware of your surroundings and the general public. You can never be too sure of how your horse will react in certain circumstances, particularly if it’s frightened. Also, never assume that drivers and pedestrians will be respectful and attentive to you and your horse.
Due to the recent changes in UK law, the cost of liability claims has increased over the last few years. This means it’s more critical and crucial to have public liability cover. Without public liability insurance, your assets and reputation as a rider could be at risk should you be found liable for an incident involving your horse.
Public liability horse rider insurance is recommended if you’re riding someone else’s horse, whether it’s a friend’s or you’re loaning a horse. An accident can still happen, and you want to make sure that you, the rider, is still covered should you injure a member of the public. Never assume that you’ll be covered by the horse’s owner insurance, as it’s you riding the horse, therefore, you may be held responsible.
What is third party insurance for horses and horse riders?
Third party insurance for horses and horse riders provides coverage for any legal liability that may arise from damage or injury caused by your horse or while riding your horse. This type of insurance helps protect you financially if you cause injury or property damage to someone else while riding or handling your horse.
