Equesure launches new insurance policy for horse trailers up to £15,000
Equine insurance specialist now able to offer live prices and immediate cover
Equesure Insurance has launched a new insurance product for horse trailers valued up to £15,000. The latest addition to the Equesure product range also covers horse trailers fitted with cooking facilities at considerably lower rates than previously offered.
The product includes accidental damage, fire and theft as standard and can be supplemented with vehicle breakdown cover and recovery of horses and trailers from any UK location, including home and stable start. In addition, trailers can be kept away from home overnight, depending on the postcode and parking arrangements, and receive 90 days’ EU cover.
Equesure can provide customers with a quote and cover immediately should their horse trailer require cover urgently. The new Horse Trailer product, which is underwritten by KGM, enables customers to receive their policy documents almost instantaneously via email.
Maurice Gosney, Equesure Brands Manager, said: “These are exciting times at Equesure. Our new Horse Trailer product allows us to cover a greater range of horse trailers than we previously could, including those fitted with gas or electric cooking facilities. And we’re thrilled to be able to offer our customers live pricing and instant cover. This will make for a faster, smoother and more efficient customer journey.”
Once again I threw Arlo in at the deep end, affiliating him purely for the Arena UK second round show, and once again he pulled it out the bag. How lucky am I to have such a wonderful little horse? We haven’t really competed this year. I don’t really compete over the winter, and also my horsebox was away for repairs up until the beginning of June, so I had no transport even if I’d wanted to.
With the dry ground we don’t seem to be having much luck with shoes, as little madam managed to pull both her front shoes off within 12 hours the other day! We entered the arena with two shoes on for a schooling session and left it with one missing (took about an hour to find it). Then that afternoon, as I went to put some hoof ointment on, I looked down and had to double take, thinking I was looking at the wrong hoof. But, no, the other shoe was missing too.
After having a long wait and some lunch at the onsite café, it was time to get ready for the Joan Wolfe Overall Supreme Shetland Pony Championship. I got changed out of my usual showing outfit into black trousers and a maroon top with white spots, as you are expected to be a bit more “bling” in the evening.
We were all set to go for our next outing, and were super excited. That was until I heard the dreaded clunk of a loose shoe! I checked it over, praying it wasn’t too loose, but, nope, it was going to need a refit.
