If anyone curious, my company ended up posting the check two days after they got the completed claim. For full amount he was insured less the rest of the annual premium (I paid monthly, so hadn't paid for the full year yet). It was fairly delayed in post due to snow- not their fault of course!

What company took a couple months? My plan didn't cover livery at all!

Interesting, thanks for sharing your experience!

Can I ask how much the dispute was over- a matter of a few hundred quid, or more substantial difference in what they said and you thought horse was worth? Don't suppose you want to say which insurance company it was?

Thank you all so much for your responses...really helpful. It was pretty straightforward and the decision to euth was discussed ahead of time, 'approved' by them as much as it can be- their head vet agreed with my vet (also head of the practice) over the phone that it was a welfare issue. 10...

Hi all, just lost a foal a couple weeks ago, my insurance has been actually very fast and helpful with the vet fees leading up to having to euth. It is extremely likely they will cover the mortality claim as well based on how quickly they accepted the vet claim and discussions with their head...

I know there have been past threads, but making a new one as things change with time especially prices! I'm considering sending a mare (or two) to Twemlows as one of the stallions I really want to use has just been there leaving a stock of frozen and is likely not doing chilled this season...

American here- not much to add, other than that when I first moved here almost 5 years ago, it really threw me that it was called 'horse riding!'. Another one that took a long time for me to get used to was calling where you keep horses the 'yard'. In the states, barn/stable = general place...

Thanks for the links! Do you know of the names of any of the FB groups (besides Hertfordshire Horse Riders) that I could search for? Its a bit hard to find groups on FB unless you know the name!

Correct! I google'd the location and its a solid 1-2 hour drive depending on traffic one way, across London then fairly far south. Not do-able :( Too bad, looks exactly like the type of thing I'm looking for. Anyone know of something similar in Herts? (Big bustling eventing barn?)

Most eventers I've spoken to here seem to be familiar with US levels and know that Prelim = Novice for eventing. But that's why I put 'USEA Prelim' just to be specific. I still have a hard time saying 'Novice' because I worry people will assume I mean USEA Novice because I'm American, which is a...

Thanks! I joined the FB group and will contact those liveries.

Where in South Herts? Accessibility is unfortunately a big thing for me. :( I'm an Eventer but what I'm looking for depends on the situation! In a perfect world, I'd find a tall(16+), sensitive type ride with quality gaits, but in reality I just want something to work with. Don't mind...
