Claims that don’t make you jump fences

Our claims process is designed to be as easy and worry-free as possible. To get you to the result you’re looking at with the minimum of worry.   

Our-claims team: 

  • Is in-house. They’re a part of our team. No outsourcing or passing your claim direct to the insurer. You’ll know exactly who you need to call on our team when you have to make a claim.  
  • Are specialists. Like the rest of our team, our claims team only deals with equine cover. They understand how to present your claim to insurers in a way that can maximise your chances of success.  
  • Is always there to help. You shouldn’t feel like you’re making a claim by yourself. Whether it’s guidance on what (and what not) to include in your initial request, or just help chasing your insurer for a pay-out, our claims team is there to help.   

And because we all work together as a single team, you won’t have to worry about being passed around to an ‘external’ department, or having to explain your whole situation from scratch each time you get in touch.  

Our claims team will already know who you are, and they’ll be able to act quickly on your behalf.
