My equine insurance has nearly doubled.

Mine incresed over 45%, got them to check it, remove my mum from the insurance and remove the saddles I'd previously asked them to remove. Now its just £13 increase - bit more bearable than over 40 quid
 
Both of ours went up massively, we were already on the min cover. We have stopped insuring now and just keep a savings account instead, and we each have associate membership of BD which does the 3rd party bit.
 
My PP insurance went up £300 this year.
Changed to a new insurance company, their initial quote was over a third cheaper (for higher cover), and then they gave me a no claims discount as I hadn't made any claims for 2 years.
Shop around, no harm in asking other companies what they can offer.

My old insurance people have also carried on taking instalments even though the insurance was not renewed, and are taking forever in paying it back (now 6 weeks on and still no money).
 
If you're with NFU its probably the claims from our yard that are doing it! We all seem to be spending thousands on vets atm.
 
£1700 claim last year and my premium went up by £24 p.a. this year.

This years claim is currently £1400.

I'm with PP and do not over value. He's irreplaceable anyway!
 
This year OH and I are taking out gold BHS membership so the horses have good third party liability cover. We are now putting away £5,000 for vet emergencies. If they were stolen or to die, their value would be the least of our concerns.

I was paying nearly £800 a year for the pair and the BHS joint membership is £99.

I wonder if as premiums continue to rise, more people will go this way, especially those with more than one horse to insure.
