What makes our policy different?
Not every insurance company will provide cover for dog sledding due to the perceived risks involved despite them being relatively low, however we do.
If you are taking part in the activity overseas, our Sports Travel Insurance policy will protect you against medical expenses, liability, and repatriation, as well as travel benefits such as baggage, travel delay, and cancellation.
For those sledding in the UK, our Sports Accident Insurance can offer all-round cover including broken bones, personal accident, income protection, and more.
Remember to stay safe whilst indulging in this fun activity, so buy your policy before you strain on the leash!
What variety of dog sledding is covered?
There are many varieties of dog sledding that are becoming more and more popular, we cover a lot of these varieties under the heading of ‘Dog Sledding’, and these include:
- Bikejoring – harnessed dogs are attached to a towline and they pull the bike along, can be done as races or as a way of exercising dogs.
- Pulka – a toboggan is pulled by a dog via a towline.
Scootering – much like Bikejoring but instead of a bike the rider is on a scooter. - Skijoring – a skier is pulled along by harnessed dogs on a towline.
- Dryland Mushing – as there is no snow in the UK, this is a popular alternative; it involves 3-wheeled rigs.
