Horse Insurance Quotes can easily be found online. Here are some things to consider about horse insurance before you start looking for horse insurance quotes.
As you probably appreciate, a horse is not just a pet, it requires lots of attention, dedication and training. Considered as a pet, it is, perhaps, one of the most expensive pets to own, with the initial cost and then the cost of tack, equipment, feeding and stabling.
There are many things to consider regarding owning a horse and insurance should be somewhere near the top of your list of things to bear in mind. There are many things that can go wrong concerning horse ownership and therefore many things to think about insuring.
Your horse could become ill or sustain an injury and vets bills for horses can be very large. The veterinarian may have to visit you. The vet must be equipped and have the expertise for dealing with horses. Not quite the same as dogs, cats and hamsters, I think you’ll agree. All this adds up to quite high vets fees. Quite a number of horses have to be put down because of lack of funds for veterinary costs. This is why proper horse insurance, or pony insurance is so important.
It would also be advisable to ensure dental care is included in the equine health insurance cover.
It is best to take out horse insurance as soon as possible when the horse is a foal, and to take out lifetime equine insurance. This will insure your horse for a lifetime whatever happens but look carefully at the limitations on the cover, either per condition, or per year.
You, yourself, may suffer injury by either falling from your horse or sustaining an injury from your horse. So you should consider horse rider insurance.
Even worse, is the case that your horse may be startled on a road, or escape onto your neighbor’s land and cause some damage to persons or property. You will be required to put right any damage, and this could be a considerable amount, so public liability insurance is a must.
If you travel with your horse, then you may want horse box insurance to cover any repair or recovery problems connected with the horse box.
You could suffer loss or theft of your horse, your tack, or your equipment and it would be well to have this covered by your insurance. If your horse strays or is stolen, then the insurance company will possibly fund a publicity campaign and a reward. If you insure your horse and equipment in this way, then the insurance company will probably require you to take proper security measures.
You can also get mortality insurance for your horse to cover death costs, such as burial, and also to help towards the purchase of another horse.
The above are things to consider before looking at horse insurance quotes, but what about the quotes themselves. Here are some hints and tips.
Go online and, if possible, get at least 3 suitable quotes for comparison. Don’t ignore offline sources of information such as fellow horse owners, stables, riding schools, or veterinarians who all may be able to point you to suitable insurance companies.
Tailor the quotes to match your specific requirements, bearing in mind the above list, and try to find a provider who covers as many of these points as standard. This will enable you to find more affordable quotes.
The insurance quotes may be cheaper than you think compared with the value of your investment in the horse and its related equipment and upkeep. Do not be tempted, however, to select the insurance based on cost alone. Cheapest is not necessarily best. You don’t skimp on food and equipment, so definitely don’t skimp on insurance. Look carefully at costs, terms and benefits.
I hope this information has been useful, and that you appreciate the benefits of equine insurance and getting the best horse insurance quotes in order to give you the peace of mind to enjoy the fantastic benefits of owning such an amazing companion, who will give you unqualified loyalty for all its life.
