Getting a beautiful big Cob Gelding in the very near future (as long as vet check goes well) he is going to be used primarily as my pleasure horse for hacking and a few local shows etc but he is also going to be kept on a working livery. He won't be getting used an awful lot for that though.
I've been going round the different insurers looking for cover with a reputable company who don't charge an arm and a leg. I'll be looking to for cover for £5000. Anyway, i've had a look at the usual suspects (NFU, Pet Plan and KBIS) along with a few others. So really i have two questions really, 1) can anyone reccomend anyone else for me to get a quote from? 2) Has anyone ever used Cornish Mutual for horse cover?
Any advice would be really appreciated! Thank you! :)
 
Try Amtrust if you haven't already. Switched to them after NFU premium went sky high. I haven't claimed from Amtrust but they are very efficient on the phone and I haven't heard any negative reports.
 
Do not go to a well advertised company whose name is intitials that come after d and k in the alphabet. They advertise in very well regarded magazines and the cover looks too good to be true - it is! Many Vets wont touch them for a direct claim. The companies you mentioned all sound good but read the small print so that you can do a like for like comparison.
 
Aye, I had a wee look at them too and though "ooh that sounds good, it's so cheap!" then i came here to see what people's thoughts were and decided to take the advice of "not with a hugmongous barge pole!" :)
I've also looked at:
Stoneways, Julie Andrews Horse Insurance and Shearwater and they all look quite good. Looked at Animal Friends and Horse Insurance.co.uk but read some really bad reviews on those so the barge pole is getting a bit of use today!
