Accidents are never pleasant, but they are a fact of life for all of us. Even if we take every possible precaution, we can’t prevent the unexpected happening, so insurance is important to protect ourselves.
Anyone who owns, rides or looks after a horse is strongly advised to carry public liability insurance cover, because they may be legally liable to pay compensation for any damage or injury caused by their horse. Personal injury compensation claims can sometimes run into the millions, meaning that anyone who is uninsured risks losing their home and any other assets.
BHS public liability insurance provides cover for any third-party injury or property damage that arises out of your legal liability or negligence as an owner, rider or keeper of horses for recreational purposes. Professional equestrian activities and some high-risk recreational activities are not covered, and you can find further details in the policy documents below.
BHS Gold membership cover provides Personal Accident cover for the member for accidental death, loss of limb or sight and permanent total disablement only. You can find further details in the policy documents below.
All these documents should be read in conjunction with each other. Please contact the BHS membership team if you have any further queries.
