Veteran horse insurance has changed largely in response to the improvements in health care. Sophisticated veterinary and nutritional care means horses are now living, on average, into their late 20s and can live for up to 40 years. At Compare Horse Insurance we realise that if you own a horse over 16 years old you'll require a rather different insurance policy from someone with a younger horse. Veteran horse insurance packages are available through our site and have been specifically designed with the requirements of more mature horses in mind. So if you're looking to take out cover for an older horse click on 'Get a quote' to compare veteran horse insurance policies.
The insurers whose policies you'll find on our site differ slightly in the way they classify a veteran horse. Towergate Aiua offer a specialist veteran horse insurance package for animals over 16 years whereas with Amtrust a horse must be at least 20 years of age to qualify for a similar sort of policy. Horse insurance packages for veteran horses will typically feature reduced vets fees cover; through Compare Horse Insurance you'll be offered up to £1500 per incident with a £3000 aggregate limit or up to £1000 per incident with no aggregate limit. As standard in the veteran horse insurance packages you'll find cover for theft and straying and liability insurance for cover of up to £2m. You'll also be offered legal protection of up to £50,000 for any one claim (Towergate Aiua).
The kind of veteran horse insurance that's right for you will depend on the use to which you out your horse. Two types of cover will be available: Class A or Class B. If it's just gentle hacking for which you require insurance then Class A is the cover for you. Simply select the kind you require when filling in the online request for a quote and you'll be guided to the correct veteran horse insurance policy.
Acquiring a veteran horse insurance policy that's right for you is easy through our site; simply enter your horse's age in the relevant box when you're completing the online request for a quote and you'll be offered a range of attractively priced policies to choose from.
