Horse riding equipment

It's not just your horse that represents a substantial financial investment and a treasured personal possession. Your tack, saddlery and riding equipment are important too and you'll want to make sure that they're insured should they sustain damage or be stolen. You can also take care to ensure they remain in good working order, though, and keep them safe and secure at all times to minimise the risk of theft.

Check your saddle regularly to check that are no signs of substantial wear and tear to the leather. If your saddle gives in the middle it is damaged and should be replaced: a faulty saddle can cause a horse a serious back injury. Also make sure to frequently check on the state of the girth strap and stirrups: a badly fitted saddle can be dangerous to both you and your horse.

All your equine equipment should be kept safely under lock and key when unattended and it's a good idea to keep an inventory of all your tack so you know when something's missing. If you keep more than one set of keys, be sure to change the locks as soon as a set goes missing.

Looking after your horse riding equipment needn't be stressful or complicated. If something does go wrong, however, you'll want the peace of mind of knowing that you're backed by a suitable equine insurance package. We'll help you find such a package.
