Sadly, our horses don’t stay young forever and - much like us - as they age they become prone to certain conditions and injuries. This is why it’s so important to make sure you have the right veteran horse insurance in place. The team here at SEIB own and ride horses aged from four all the way up to the late twenties, so we understand the need to have the best veteran horse insurance policy you can find.

Have a question about veteran horse insurance?
Why is it important to choose veteran horse insurance with colic cover?
Colic amounts to a large number of equine veterinary call outs and is a major cause of euthanasia in horses. There are many different types of colic and treatment can range from a single visit from the vet up to emergency surgery. With surgery becoming a more common practice, we offer an optional veteran horse insurance extension to include a contribution of £1,500 towards emergency life- saving colic surgery, to give your veteran horse the best chance of making a full recovery.
Do veteran horses need injury cover?
Accidents can happen at any time and injuries can be expensive to treat. The majority of our claims under the veteran plan are injuries sustained in the field which as we all know, can happen at any time. Our veteran horse insurance provides peace of mind that - should your horse sustain an injury in the field - you're covered to receive a contribution towards the costs of veterinary fees.
Do I need public liability cover?
All of our veteran horse policies come with public liability cover as standard. Public liability cover is not a legal requirement, however, it will protect you if an incident occurs with your horse that results in an injury to a third party or causes third party property damage.
