TRAVEL INSURANCE FOR RIDERS

It is a booking condition that you have adequate cover. Points to note when considering purchasing Specialist Travel Insurance for riding holidays.

a) Many travel insurances make it a condition of the insurance that claims arising from horse riding activities will only be paid if the insured person is wearing protective clothing. e.g. hard hat.

b) Many travel insurance policies exclude cover for horse riding resulting in exposure to potentially very high costs.

c) Many travel insurance policies specifically exclude any form of manual activities including ranch riding.

The insurance we offer covers the above and there is no exclusion for riding without a hard hat. Please note they are limitations to the cover provided for these activities and you should check the policy terms and conditions.
