    Is insurance worth having

    Sorry to hear about your loss :(. Regarding insurance - in my view it depends on your situation and what exclusions (if any) the company puts on your horse. I have friends who work with horses, who also keep their personal horses as part of the business. As such, they're covered for public...

    Sorry to open with a downer!! I've lurked for a while but feeling compelled to ask a bit of advice :o. I recently sold my very loved horse to a good, long term home. It had been an agonising decision to part with him, but after starting university in September (as a mature student) and...
