I'm looking into the practicalities of insurance for teaching, without BHS/UKCC qualifications. The reason is that I am a fully qualified and insured veterinary physio, as well as successfully training & competing my own horses, and I often get asked by clients if I will teach them as well. Although I am not looking to be a trainer per se, I do a lot of polework/gymnastic stuff as part of my physio work (well, I advise on it), and it would be useful to be able to teach this ridden which is one of the main things I get asked about. I also have a livery yard and would like to be able to offer clinics to my liveries.
I've seen that KBIS, Shearwater etc do insure trainers/riders without BHS/UKCC qualifications, but wondered if this is prohibitively expensive. I don't know if my Masters level physio degree would count for anything!

Any experiences along this line would be great to hear about!

I used SEIB before I qualified to teach for insurance, off memory it was around £45 a month ish but this was a few years back now! Now I am qualified the BHS do a monthly deal for everything for around £25 a month so its not loads cheaper ;)
 
Try John or Julie Andrews at Horse Insurance Services, they'll be able to help. When i looked into it a few years back it was a couple of hundred pounds for the year and would have been quite a bit less had I been qualified
