SEIB Insurance Brokers has announced a new partnership with British Showjumping, offering members access to specialist sports horse insurance with an exclusive discount of up to 20%*.

The new partnership gives British Showjumping members access to SEIB’s bespoke Sports Horse Insurance for showjumping horses and ponies. With more than 60 years’ experience in equestrian insurance, SEIB’s policy has been designed to meet the needs of valuable competition horses.

As part of the agreement, SEIB has also increased its support of the sport by becoming title sponsor of the SEIB Big Star Young Horse Championship for the next three years.

Suzy Middleton, Chief Executive Officer at SEIB, said:
“With this new formal partnership we are delighted to be working closely with British Showjumping to provide the tailored insurance cover members need for their valuable horses and ponies. Our role as an insurer is to provide financial peace of mind, allowing riders to focus on performing at their best, whatever their level within the sport.”

SEIB’s Sports Horse Insurance is designed for horses valued at more than £30,000 and includes options such as veterinary fee cover up to £10,000 per claim, emergency colic cover up to £2,500, and repatriation costs across Western Europe in the event of horsebox breakdown. The policy also includes post-mortem and disposal costs, alongside clear-cut Wobbler cover.

British Showjumping members will also benefit from agreed value cover, meaning owners do not need to prove the horse’s value in the event of a claim. SEIB can also provide options for horses with pre-existing conditions or cover for areas that may otherwise be excluded.

Iain Graham, Chief Executive of British Showjumping, said:
“We are delighted to be working with SEIB. Their longevity and expertise in equine insurance ensures our members have access to the cover they need at a preferential rate. We also welcome SEIB’s increased support of showjumping through sponsorship of the prestigious SEIB Big Star Championship, alongside their continued backing of the SEIB Winter Novice Championship.”

The SEIB Big Star Championship is open to six-year-old horses and features a series of national qualifiers before the final at the British Young Horse Championships at All England Jumping Course. SEIB also continues its long-standing sponsorship of the SEIB Winter Novice Championship, with the final held annually at the Royal International Horse Show.
