Insurance
We all know the importance of insurance but it can be a confusing area. The following will hopefully be helpful.
​
Always ensure your policy meets your needs.
You must have appropriate insurance cover in place before undertaking any paid independent coaching practice. horsescotland has a policy in place with Howden UK Group Ltd that you are able to apply to. You would apply via horsescotland for this and if you are a member of the horsescotland Coaches Register then you are entitled to a discount. for more information e-mail info@horsescotland.org
