Equestrian Freelance Liability Insurance

If you work as a freelance groom, riding instructor, or provide equestrian services as a sole trader – ensuring you have the right insurance in place is crucial. Thornhill Insurance specialise in tailored liability cover designed to protect you, your business, and your livelihood from the unexpected risks associated with working with horses.

Why do you need Liability Insurance?

Working with horses comes with risks – from handling unpredictable animals to working on different yards and locations. Public Liability Insurance safeguards you against claims arising from accidental injury to third parties or damage to their property while carrying out your duties. Without cover, you could be personally liable for costly legal expenses and compensation claims.
