Are You Buying A Horse? Find Out Where You Stand Legally
Buying & Selling Beginners Advice
When it comes to horse insurance it’s not always about purchasing the highest level of cover, but having a level of cover you feel happy with and at a premium you feel comfortable paying. This is why insurance provider KBIS offer a range of unique and affordable insurance solutions alongside more comprehensive cover options.
Here are some options that could provide the answer you’re looking for – helping to ease the financial pressure in what are still uncertain times.
If there is one insurance cover you shouldn’t be without its Public Liability. Essential for any horse owner, Public Liability cover protects you against claims made by third parties for property damage or bodily injury caused by your horse. If you are not looking for any additional cover then a stand-alone public liability policy is a sensible option, KBIS have policies starting from just £47.04* per year.
Vet Fee insurance remains the most popular cover option, but it is also one of the most expensive inclusions on a policy. KBIS now offer two alternative vet fee options which can be purchased without any other cover benefits required - Catastrophe Cover & Open Wound Only.
KBIS Catastrophe Cover starts from just £300*. This unique cover provides vet fees up to a maximum of £7,500 in total during the policy period for accidental, external injuries caused by an open wound, plus three lifesaving veterinary procedures; Colic surgery, joint or tendon sheath flushing and surgery for pastern or pedal bone fractures.

Open Wound Only cover is just that, cover for vet fees incurred, up to a maximum of £3,000 per incident, for treatment as a result of accidental external injury involving an open wound. From less than £225* per year, it offers a solution for owners looking to have some form of insurance in place against situations that require urgent and costly medical attention.
If you are looking for more comprehensive cover there are still ways to help bring down your premium without compromising on certain benefits:
