1. What happens if, when Riding a horse abroad, I fall off the horse and get injured? How does the Travel Insurance cover me?

We will provide Medical Expenses and Repatriation to your home country for any injuries whilst Horse Riding abroad.

2. What protective gear do I need to be wearing so that the Travel Insurance remains valid?

  • I am wearing a Helmet. This should be the correct fit; wearing a helmet can prevent you from a severe head injury.
  • Proper Riding Boots. It will stop your feet from sliding out of the stirrups.
  • Jodhpurs are made of stretchy material that will allow you to move more freely with your Horse.
  • Protective Jacket. Protection from unnecessary cuts and abrasions.

3. If I take out an Annual Multi-Trip Travel Insurance policy, are there any restrictions on the number of horse riding holidays I can take?

There are no restrictions on how many trips you can take and participate in Horse Riding. You should know that each trip must be within the duration stated on your Certificate. (31 days) on our online policies. 

4. If I travel for an extended period, such as a Gap Year, or explore the world for an extended period, can I get a policy for the duration of the trip, and I will be Horse Riding whilst I am away?

Our Backpacker policy covers Horse Riding as an activity while you are travelling. You can extend the policy at any time, and it can be extended up to 18 months.

Horse Riding is a leisure activity usually involving riding in the countryside or even on a beach, whereas Horse Jumping is an equestrian activity. We can provide cover for both.

If you plan to go Horse Riding and do any jumps, you must select Horse Jumping so that you are fully covered.

9. Does this policy cover Personal Liability?

I am afraid we do not offer cover for personal liability due to the nature of the activity and the fact that horses can be unpredictable.

Yes, this policy does cover Personal Accidents such as total disablement or death.
