Thanks all for taking the time to reply to me, I appreciate it. I’ve been fortunate in not needing to make many claims over the years - this is the first claim for my mare in 12 years. I’ve made one claim for my Welsh Mountain for laminitis and that’s it. I’ve been in touch with SEIB and they...

Yes colic is the main reason I insure as the bill could be big, which is why I’m so cross.

Totally agree with your point of view!

Mine has an exclusion for mites, but not allergies. They’re out for whatever they can get away with.

So if she got laminitis in her front feet that isn’t covered? If that is so, I would argue that as there is no link between the 2.

Yep don’t blame you! It’s just getting an initial pot of money so you have a bit of a buffer before you bin off the insurance altogether.

Don’t blame you! Did you find another insurer who would cover the colic ? I guess laminitics often end up with cushings, but still, I would never defend an insurance company!

That’s bad - I’d have had to argue that one, totally unfair!

I’m obviously very naive - but I can’t sit back and just accept and agree with insurance companies on their frankly unfair approach. It makes me question the value of insurance.

That’s outrageous! Maybe I’m more militant than most but I can’t agree with the insurer’s point of view!

I understand why insurers exclude things you’ve already claimed for or any other pre-existing issues, but I can’t see how it’s fair to exclude problems that have never occurred. My Welsh Section A had laminitis, but it’s only laminitis that is excluded, not both of his front feet.

Really? Even if ulcers and colic are not related?

Hello, I never usually post on here, but I wanted to let people know about my recent bad experience with Pet Plan to see if anyone else has had the same issue and to warn others. My horse got diagnosed with grade 2 gastric ulcers and has since been treated and has been re-scoped and is...

Thanks very much for these recommendations. I’ve contacted Pegasus - I can only find good feedback about them online, so that’s a great sign. I’ll also look up Elmtree as a comparison on cost with Pegasus. Cheers all!

Hello all, I rarely post on here so am feeling a bit bad asking for advice, but I’m having a tough time deciding on which company to go with for building an outdoor manège. I’ve scoured some old threads on this subject but quite a few of the companies people recommended years ago appear to have...
