IMPORTANT NOTICE TO ANIMAL OWNERS INVOLVED IN SHOWING ANIMALS
The I.S.A would advise all animal owners who have their animals insured to have it extended to cover them while showing animals at Shows. We understand that it will cost very little or nothing at all, depending on your insurance provider.
If you are one of the few who do not have cover, we would advise that you think about putting it in place for this purpose - it is very worthwhile.
The reason for us giving you this advice is to protect yourself in the event of your animal lashing out and injuring someone or damaging someone’s property. If that were to happen, and it is established that your animal was out of your control, you may be held responsible, or partly responsible, for any injury or damage caused and may lead to you paying all or part of any settlement reached.
PLEASE EXERCISE CAUTION
Horse-riding is a dangerous sport. While mounted, all competitors and ride judges are required, for their own safety, to wear appropiate head gear that complies with up to date safety standards and is seurely fastened.
