Changing insurance - WARNING!

[cptrayes]

For everyone thinking about changing their insurance company please, please be aware that your horse is NOT COVERED for anything but accidents in the first two weeks. You need to take out your new insurance two weeks BEFORE you stop your old one.

A friend of mine was caught by this and had a horse die of colic after an operation and was left uninsured with a bill of thousands of £s they didn't have

****, now that is useful to know! Thanks for the warning.

Great advice. This is exactly what we were recommended to do by Julie Andrews when we took a policy through her, to ensure continuity of cover.

Sorry to hear what happened to your friend.
