For hundreds of years a basic knowledge of horse care was vital to many people who used horses for transport and business.

From the choice of a livery yard to what to have in a grooming kit, it can often seem like there is an endless list of things to cover. Here is our basic guide to some of the key areas of horse care.

Learning to ride a horse can be a rewarding pastime for many reasons. Horses have long been regarded as trusted and valuable companions. However, it is understandable to be wary of a large animal whose unpredictable behaviour means they can even spook at a plastic bag.
Whether you are seeking to pursue horse riding as a sport, or simply as an occasional hobby, it is important to consider the time and patience you will need in developing your experience. Here are some basic riding tips to get you started.
Yes, whether you have horses for personal or business purposes, equine insurance is highly recommended. Horses are an expensive investment: illness, injury, theft or an accident may result in high compensation and legal bills, but equine insurance protects you should the worst happen.
This depends on whether you have horses for personal or business purposes, but key aspects are:
Insurance for the death of your horse protects you against the costs of accident, illness or disease it suffers. We can also cover you for removal and disposal of the body.
Public liability insurance is a key part of your equine insurance, as it protects you against legal costs incurred by injuries to members of public and damage to property, caused by your horse, horsebox or trailer.
You can also include horse rider insurance, which covers you and others against personal accidents incurred when riding your horse with your permission.
Pre-existing medical conditions are excluded from our equine insurance - you are therefore not covered for illnesses or injuries your horse had before taking out a policy with us.
We also do not cover horses over 19 years of age.
