What is the average cost to insure a 2 year old?

[Jazy]

I'm looking into getting a youngster but not sure what to do insurance wise as it will be a companion for my old boy for a while and just in a field. What would be the best thing to do? And if insurance is the way to go then whats the rough cost and which company is best?

Honestly? The best thing would probably be to not have a 2 year old as a companion for your old boy. A 2 year old needs to be around other youngsters.

As Jenn says…why not rehome an older horse from a charity.

My 2yo is about £55 a month with Scottish Equestrian. Had a couple of big claims as a yearling so that has bumped it up a little.

I would also agree they deserve more buddies. Mine has 8 ‘uncles’ that all take turns in tolerating his nonsense He is the youngest but there are a few in the 3-5 age bracket.

Mine is £45 per month but I agree with the others. Youngsters need playmates. Mine are out with two oldies for discipline/education but they have each other to play with as well.

I can tell you what a 3.5 year old was £60 per month roughly

It will depend on how much the youngster is worth and what you want it insured for. A youngster is not a good companion for a older horse. It needs friends of its own age really.
