EVEN with the most careful planning and preparation, accidents can happen while coaching. That’s why coaches need insurance to protect themselves against the unexpected accidents that can occur before, during and after coaching sessions.

Horse Sport Ireland’s (HSI) Freelance Coach Group Insurance Policy is available to all HSI-accredited Coaches (Level 1 Apprentice Coach and above) and BHS Accredited Professional Coaches (minimum requirement of Stage 3 in Complete Horsemanship or UKCCL2 plus Stage 3 Care and Ride).

HSI Coach Insurance

HSI’s Insurance Policy includes both Personal Accident and Public Liability insurance. This means that under the policy coaches will be insured against bodily injury which may occur while undertaking freelance coaching. It also insures coaches against legal liability for accidental injury or damage to property. HSI’s Insurance Policy is competitively priced at €345.
