Horse riding is a beloved activity enjoyed by millions of people around the world. Whether
you’re a beginner taking your first lessons or an experienced equestrian rider competing at
the highest levels, there’s no denying the thrill and excitement that comes with horse riding.
However, like any sport, horse riding carries some level of risk. Accidents can and do
happen, which is why it’s important to consider horse riding insurance if you’re a horse rider.
What is life Insurance?
Life insurance is a type of financial protection that typically provides financial support, in the
form of a lump sum, if the worst were to happen whilst horse riding. Other options include
mortgage protection, critical illness cover and income protection cover that can provide other
types of financial benefit.
In exchange for paying premiums, your insurance company will provide a financial benefit as
designated in the terms of your policy. This money could then be used to contribute to a
wide range of expenses such funeral costs, bills and living expenses.
