Groom Insurance

Working as a groom and taking care of horses is an extremely important and rewarding job. However, it is also important that you take care of yourself by having insurance if an unforeseen event or accident happens. Groom insurance provides protection for several things, from personal accidents to custodial liability – and with tailored policies available, you get the right level of cover for what your position requires.

A freelance groom is someone who works independently, offering their services usually to multiple stables. As with most ‘freelance’ jobs, working independently means you have customers and not employers. This does mean that you will need to take out insurance yourself, unlike an employed groom position where your employer will likely take on that responsibility. 

The short answer is yes. As a riding instructor, you will have a duty of care to yourself, your clients and the horses under your instruction. Although you may fully understand the temperaments of the horses, you can’t guarantee an unforeseen event may happen. A comprehensive policy will provide you cover for several things including public liability, legal expenses and custodial liability, so that should it come to it you have protection for your business.
