Including everything from timber stables, to show jumps, feed, farm machinery, saddlery and tack, arenas, gallops and even equine pools!<\/p>\n<h2>Cover options<\/h2>\n<p>Any insurer you approach should be able to explain the cover options available to you, but it is important that you relay relevant information as clearly as possible in order to ensure the policy will provide sufficient cover. When possible supplying pictures of buildings and the layout of your yard will help the insurer to fully understand your requirements:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ensure the sums insured are adequate \u2013 remember the policy works on a reinstatement basis, to put you back in the same position as before the loss.<\/li>\n<li>Have you described the building correctly \u2013 are they open sided or fronted?<\/li>\n<li>Do you have good physical security in place i.e. bars on the windows of tack rooms?<\/li>\n<li>Do you have any alarms systems installed?<\/li>\n<li>Is hay and straw kept on the premises, if so where?<\/li>\n<li>Do you want to extend cover to include accidental damage?<\/li>\n<li>Is it a private residential property or commercial?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Once you have relayed the relevant information your insurer will be able to provide you with a quote. While the premium will be affected by the degree of cover being provided, the two main influencing factors are the type of buildings and what they will be used for.<\/p>\n<h2>Building classifications<\/h2>\n<p>Equestrian Buildings can generally be classified into four descriptions; standard construction (brick, blocks or stone with a slate or tile roof), non standard construction (i.e. steel frame with timber cladding), timber and buildings used for the storage of Hay and straw. A timber barn used for the storage of hay and straw will be rated significantly higher than a row of brick stables.<\/p>\n<p>If you are running a business from the property then you may want to consider protecting against business interruption, loss of earnings\/profit following an insured peril.<\/p>\n<p>In addition factors such as claims history and the location of the property, such as being at flood risk, will also affect the policy premium.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>KBIS offer a comprehensive property policy from which you can choose the areas you wish to cover whether it is a private residential property or a commercial business.\u00a0For further information visit\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kbis.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">KBIS British Equine Insurance<\/a>, visit their\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kbis.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">website<\/a>.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Owning an equestrian property for many horse owners can be a dream come true but with it does come additional responsibilities, none less so than ensuring you have adequate insurance in place.\u00a0The experts at\u00a0KBIS British Equine Insurance\u00a0explain more.\u00a0 Equestrian property insurance policies While a standard household policy may extend cover to include your stables and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":22758,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[40,17],"tags":[354,5442,344,5401],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v17.7 (Yoast SEO v20.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Have you got adequate equestrian property insurance?
