Professional Liability FAQ
What’s the difference between General Liability and Professional Liability?
General Liability covers incidents like someone slipping on your property.
Professional Liability protects you if your services—like giving a lesson or handling a horse—result in injury, damage, or a claim of negligence.
Do I need Professional Liability if I already have Care, Custody & Control (CCC) insurance?
Yes. CCC covers horses in your care, but not incidents involving your instruction, advice, or professional decisions. These are two separate forms of protection.
Can I get coverage if I travel to different barns?
Absolutely. We offer portable liability policies that follow you wherever you work, whether you’re based at one facility or move around.
Is this coverage available for part-time instructors?
Yes. We offer options for part-time, seasonal, and freelance professionals, so you’re covered when you’re active without overpaying.
What if I host a one-time clinic or event?
We offer event-based policies that provide short-term coverage—perfect for clinics, shows, or workshops where you’re acting in a professional capacity.
