Horse Trailer Breakdown

[Victoria25]

OK, trailer purchased and collecting @ weekend

Trailer Insurance will be going through E&L ...

BUT who do you use for your breakdown? We've got our two vehicles currently covered by GreenFlag but they only recover the trailer and not the horses as long as the trailer is less than 7m.

Who do you all get yours covered by? Ive seen RAC cover trailers/horses

Or alternatively do I stick with greenflag and then get additional trailer assistance - like equine rescue services??

Im assuming if say a wheel fell off (touch wood) then my normal breakdown would cover this? Or would they not? Ive just rang and unhelpful is being polite!

I have RAC breakdown paid for with my Tesco clubcard vouchers. I then pay £45 per annum separately for trailer rescue with PRP Rescue.

Luckily I've never had to use either of them yet.

I add mine on to RAC, think its about £35 quid. No brakedown would only cover car and certainly got trailer. Worst case to be stuck with just the trailer

Check out the trailer insurance links in my signature below as many of those threads cover this issue

I use CSMA for the car, but I also have Equine Rescue Services for when I am towing.

ETS the Trailer is insured through Petplan!

If you insure the trailer with NFU, and you dont need a horse policy to do so, you get free trailer breakdown cover. I works out cheaper when you add it up than the cheap companies.

Would insure anything with E&L, but thats another story.

Mine is with the RAC and Prp Rescue. Covers trailer and horses for £45 per year.

The issue is if you breakdown with horses on board and need the horses transported in another vehicle. The organisation of horsebox and traler owners are the best as they will send a horsebox.

Thanks everyone. I've always had the personal breakdown cover rather than an individual car so whatever Im driving, Im covered. When I rang they said the trailer (as long as its under 7m) will be covered but they dont arrange collection of the horses so think I'll add ERS trailer/horse cover as heard good things about them
