Insuring the older horse

[vieshot]

My horse is 17 this year, will this affect his insurance and what he is insured against?

usually the cut off for older horse is 15 and sadly the answer is yes after it passed the "older" horse catagory most insurers limit what they cover said "older" horse for. couldnt tell you what as each insurance company is different

Yes it will do, I woud ask your insurance company how it is affected.

Go for petplan, if you insure your horse with them on thier normal policy before he is 20 then they will cover for illness and accident up to 25 years old!

other insurers seem to stop covering for illness (like colic) at 15 years old.

my horse is 20 this year, and i've just 'upgraded' his insurance with petplan from a veteran plan to a normal one. This can run until he's 25.

I endorse the Petplan comments
