Why do I need Horse Riding Insurance?
We specialise in horse riding insurance for participation in the U.K and abroad. We cover horse riders for both personal accident insurance and travel insurance if required. We can also provide you with horse riding insurance at a competition and non-competitive level.
Every year hundreds of horse riders choose us for their horse riding insurance.
We understand that horse riding can be a very high risk activity and with this in mind, have developed our insurance products; whether you are travelling abroad, wanting protection at home or are worried about loss of earnings we can cover you.
For horse riding we exclude cover for personal liability as we would expect the owner of the horse to have separate cover for the horse which would cover for any damage or injuries that it caused.
At SportsCover Direct we can only provide horse riding insurance to UK residents.
