horse insurance

[SAL66]

need to sort mine out PDQ, so who do you recommend please.

 

[chestnut cob]

I'm with Equestrian Direct, no complaints here. Amtrust Equine paid up straight away when I claimed as well.

 

[SAL66]

Thanks Chestnut cob, I'll give them a call.

 

[MrStevo]

South Essex (SEIB) are usually a little more expensive but they are well worth it, I had to have my horse put down last month and they settled without argument and have paid the vets fees within 2 weeks of invoice. Pet plan are also quite good in my experience. DO NOT what ever you do go with E&L they may be cheap but they wont pay, if you go to most vets and tell them that you are isured with them they will tell you to pay up front before treatment!

 

[chestnut cob]

They seem to be quite expensive though, that's the only thing....that said, they paid up so I don't mind paying the premium if I know they're going to pay if I need them to. There was also no increase in my next premium despite having claimed and having subsequent exclusions on the policy.

 

[SAL66]

Thanks MrStevo, yes I've heard negative things about E&L, I'll give them a wide berth, years ago I always went through Pet Plan, but that was some time ago and am unsure who to go with.

I'm sorry that you lost your horse.

Ditto MrStevo - I was with E & L and learnt the hard way!

I'm with the N.F.U and always found them very good. When one of my horse had a rare disase of the brain they where great. Talk to your vet they may know of local company which is good. Again don't go any where near e&L.

NFU for me, have got both ponies, car & trailer & no complaints. When my trailer was stolen I had a full cheque within 7 days. One of my ponios has had LOTS of vets bills sadly, again paid in full & direct to the vets each time.

Another vote for NFU

 

[splatty]

Another vote for NFu, had a claim with them recently and they paid out within 2weeks.

 

[ihatework]

And another vote for NFU, they have paid up on 4 biggish claims over four years with no quibble

 

[xxcharlottexx]

Im with Scotish Equestrian, never had to claim but have been helpful when i have spoken to them

 

[Selkie]

I'm with NFU never had to claim but have a local office which has been very helpful

 

[Bert&Maud]

NFU for me too! Had a year of claiming for kissing spine treatment, they've paid the vet direct with no questions asked. Sadly now about to claim for loss of use, and hoping they will be as helpful with that. Also insure 4x4, trailer and house with them so get a discount too.
