Foal insurance includes public liability cover. If your horse causes injury to a member of the public, or damage to their property, public liability insurance will cover any costs you’re faced with as a result. If a member of the public sues you because your foal causes them injury or damage. Insurance policies available typically offer liability cover from £1 million. Speak to one of our insurance advisors to find out more.
If your foal is stolen or strays, you may need to pay to advertise them as missing. Theft or straying insurance as standard means you’ll be covered for the costs (up to a specific sum) of advertising for the return of your foal. If your foal is not found within 28 days of the theft or straying taking place, you may be able to claim the market value or the sum insured of the foal – whichever amount is lower).
Should your foal suffer an accident, illness or disease, equine mortality cover as standard will protect you against the financial costs (excluding pre-existing conditions). Your policy may also cover you for disposal and euthanasia costs.

Any foal is a costly investment. Unfortunately, unexpected events such as sickness, theft, injury, and accidents can prove costly. If your foal is involved in an accident, you could suffer serious injury or find yourself liable for compensation or legal bills as a result. If things do go wrong, choosing the right foal insurance can cover you against unexpected costs.
Public liability insurance protects you against legal costs incurred as a result of injuries to members of the public and damage to property, caused by your horse.
Personal accident cover insures you and anyone else riding your horse with your permission, against death and accidental injury caused directly by riding or handling. Note this does not cover riding for financial gain.
An excess is the part of a claim that you pay for yourself. Excess fees vary between horse insurance policies. Be sure to check your excess fees as well as your premium when selecting an equestrian insurance product. You may be offered a ‘flat excess’, which will remain the same regardless of the amount of the claim, or a ‘co-insurance contribution excess, which will be a percentage of the amount claimed.
Permanent loss of use cover is an optional additional product and covers you for the sum of purchasing another horse for the originally intended purpose(s), if your horse can no longer be used for the activities you insured it for. However, if your horse is still capable of breeding, or undertakes low-level activities such as hacking, the insurer will usually only cover part of the sum.
