Liability in all things concerning the horseHorses liability insurance

In German the literal equivalent of the expression “well, I’ll be blowed” is, “I think I’ve been kicked by a horse”; a common phrase. This phrase came about because horses sometimes kick out unexpectedly and it usually comes as a surprise and with full force. Horses are magnificent animals, but their strength and elegance can sometimes quickly change over to negative consequences. If your horse causes a traffic accident or even personal injury or has broken out of the paddock, it can cause considerable damage – and costs. Horse liability protects you from consequential financial damages and is therefore a must for horse owners.

Accept consultation waiver In the context of the online contract brokerage, I expressly desire the insurance concluded with the chosen rate or the selected service. I expressly waive consultation and documentation. I recognise that the waiver of consultation may adversely affect the possibility of asserting a claim for damages against the insurance broker for breach of consultation and documentation obligations.

What you need to know

As a horse owner, by law you are obligated to pay compensation for damage caused by your horse, even if you have taken the necessary precautions and even if you are not at fault. The responsibility is triggered solely by the “animal hazard”, i.e. by the arbitrary behaviour of the horse.

For the private horse owner, so-called strict liability applies. Horse liability insurance protects you if your horse causes damage to third parties and compensation claims ensue.

 

Professional indemnity insurance for riding instructors/therapists and riders

The tasks of a riding therapist or riding instructor are very extensive. During a therapy unit or instruction unit you bear the responsibility for the person who is learning to ride or for the patient.
