All I've just had a chat with an equine lawyer through the free legal helpline available to BD members. The very knowledgeable lady advised that whilst livery/sales yards should have there own commercial liability insurance there is a small chance that a 3rd party could raise a claim against the...

Thanks all, I’m going to ring some insurers for some advice today but my concern is that most of them will say they don’t provide cover where I am paying someone else to look after him. It’s such a minefield and I know that liability insurance with animals is such a hot topic at the moment.

Gosh it’s such a minefield and I’m now even more confused as different people tell me different things! So now I’m less worried about my horse that is on full livery (he’s retired) as the yard’s insurance should cover if any of their staff were injured whilst handling him? I presume that my...

I'm sending my horse away on sales livery and they have asked for liability insurance in case any potential buyers have an accident on my horse whilst he is being tried. This got me thinking, do those of you who have your horses on livery where they are either cared for by other staff or...

Thank you equi, much appreciated.

Does anyone know if the public liability insurance that comes as part of the British horse society gold membership would cover my horse if it was ridden by someone else whilst on sales livery? I am sending my horse away to be sold and the livery yard have requested that I have liability...

Thanks

Can anyone recommend an advanced dressage rider that does sales livery in Oxon/Bucks? Horse is competing AM and will go further so looking for suitable person with the right contacts to sell him to a professional/experienced amateur/young rider (he is NOT a schoolmaster).

Could someone tell me what happened to Austin and Kilpatrick Knight?

Thanks both, that's great to know!

Does anyone have an Ani-mate tack locker and how do you rate them? I'm looking for a sturdy storage unit for my garage at home to put some old saddles in (so must have saddle racks) and also for some of my 'lorry kit' which no longer has a home since I sold my horsebox as I take a brief break...

Can anyone recommend a mobile horsebox valetting service in Oxon/Bucks for a 7.5t box? Looking to get it professionally cleaned before I sell the lorry (I don't have time due to baby!). Thank you.

Not good then? :( I know I could get a better price doing a private sell but I honestly am not sure I have the time to give it a thorough clean inside and out (who is going to buy a grubby lorry?). Also, I can't drive it myself, only my husband can, which means we can only do viewings at the...

Omg I did actually forget I'd already posted this! Damn baby brain!! Thanks everyone!

Does anyone have any experience of selling their horsebox through Central England Horseboxes? I remember when I was looking to buy they were recommended to me, but just after opinions from anyone that has sold via them? I know I will get more money selling privately, but with a baby and also...
