Which horse insurance company provides the best cover?

[bluej1]

Which insurance company provides the best cover, do they pay for claims quickly?
Do any of them cover vet fees upto £10000?
Thankyou!

I am with Amtrust and really rate them. They paid very quickly when i made a claim.
Not sure if any cover up to £10000 tho.

So far I've been v happy with petplan, they've paid out and it usually takes about a month for the cheque to come though.

Scottish Equestrian (in the same group as Petplan) paid out 10 days after I provided the information they needed.

NFU are supposed to be good as well.

Have always found Petplan brilliant, howver i've never heard of vets fee cover of more than 5000 for one condition

NFu are fantastic, and cover up to £5k. dont think ive heard of a company that cover up to £10k

I am in a MASSIVE dispute with AmTrust and have involved the Financial Ombudsman, also contacting BBC Watchdog on the way they conduct their business. I will NEVER use them again! I've heard PetPlan and NFU are very good.

Oh gosh

hope you get it sorted is it because of a claim if you don't mind me asking??

Im with AmTrust for my Comp horse & they have paid everything, have also found them super fast to pay out.
He's on Gastrogard so it costing them a fortune. They have paid out on 3 seperate claims this year for this horse.

I have my other 2 with Petplan.
The one time i have claimed with them they where a sham!! They took 3 months to pay out on they where impossible.

I'm really surprised, is it for a claim? as Amtrust have been brilliant, each time i have spoken to them they have been very helpful and understanding, i have had to claim nearly £4,500 over the last 11 months and they paid the vets within a week of each invoice being received.

Most companies seem to provide up to 5K veterinary cover for any one incident. I suppose you could enquire & they would obviously want a higher premium for greater cover.

I am with NFU & have never had any problem with any claim.

E & L have been subject of more adverse comment that any other company on this forum so read into that what you may.

I think a company like NFU will cover you for 10K vet bills but you will pay a high premium I would think. Why do you need such high vet bill cover??

I'm new to this forum lark and though i started looking for stuff on ground haynets i've ended up here - after losing track of how much time i've spent reading everything!!

I was so surprised by someone being unhappy with Amtrust that it's moved me to make my first ever post.

I had a look at other messenger posts to see if I could find out why they were unhappy. There were posts on irresponsible horse dealers and a horse with kissing spine and sacroiliac joint pain. Is it the same horse?

Anyway, I've been with Amtrust Equine for 2 years now and think they are really brilliant. They were so helpful when I had to make a claim and even paid for MRI - and really quickly

P.S. does anyone know anything about ground haynets and if they are any good? (for 2 barefoot horses living out)

AmTrust insured my horse which they had previously insured before with a previous owner!!!!! Say no more!

My other horse was insured with them and I couldn't fault them. They quickly paid out on a claim for a viral infection and were great. In this instance they've been a complete sham!
