Horse Sitter Insurance

Reliable protection for horse sitters

Our horse sitting insurance provides comprehensive coverage for you, your customers, and their horses across a broad selection of risks.

While you are horse sitting, you’ll be covered for essential tasks such as feeding, cleaning, mucking out, and turning out the horses under your care.

Coverage across a range of potential risks

You’ll be protected against claims from clients and members of the public for any incidents resulting in injury or damage. If the horses in your care are the source of injuries or accidents, whether or not you are at fault, you’re also covered.

Other typical risks horse sitters may face are also included, such as the loss of costly equipment or the loss of a horse you are looking after.

Depending on how you operate your horse sitting business, we can also provide optional coverage to suit you. For example, if you have staff we can cover you for claims arising from workers due to illnesses or injuries caused by the job.

It's important to note that this insurance does not cover incidents involving riding or exercising of the horses.
