Freelance Grooms

[LauraWheeler]

I was wondering if any other freelance grooms on here had insurance. (Or even any full time grooms that have there own insurance) If you do what sort of insurance do you have and who with.
Untill recently most of my work was mucking out so I didn't realy think about insurance but all of a sudden I seem to be getting more riding work.
When I broke my hip in a riding axcidentafew years ago I was full time employed with horses so got sick pay. But if a similer thing happened now I would be in real trouble.
Thankyou in advance for any advice. I just realy have no idea where to start.

I get mine as an add-on to being on the BHS Register Of Instructors.

However, I would have thought the British Grooms Association would be a good place to have a look.
