Quick question about vetting and insurance.

[hannahkirkhill]

Really quick one.....
If you brought a horse that had been vetted about 5weeks before hand would you need it to be re vetted to get it insured or would the vets cert still stand?
Thankyou

Depends on your insurance company..... worth asking them! In theory the vendor shouldnt have the vets cert anyway?

As KatB says

.

Also depends (or did) on the amount you are insuring for. It was £5000 with NFU, as in if the horse is insured for less than this, you dont need a vetting anyway.

 

[KatB]

Very good point Louby, I have the most thorough vetting ever for madam, but because I insure for "base rate" (and she was under 5k!) they dont want it anyway!!

 

[hannahkirkhill]

Ok, well this one is defo under 5k. Little confuggled and feeling I may have just wasted 1 and a half hours and shoby

!!

 

[KatB]

Hope everything is ok hon....

 

[hannahkirkhill]

Always remember though when accepting a previous vetting cert, to bear in mind the part that reads "would not affect this horses use as a hunter, eventer or whatever". What might pass or be suitable as, say, a hack may not be so for a hunter/eventer. Also, why did those who had it vetted not buy it??

If you delcare that the horse has been vetted within the last 12 months then you are expected to be able to provide a copy regardless of the sum insured.
