[RC] Insurance (was Newbie here) - rides2farI heard something like that a membership in the Georgia Horse Council gives you a million dollars of liability insurance on you and your horse. I've been meaning to join. There's just one more reason. I don't think "people" are as bad to sue as the insurance companies insinuate. The insurance companies are the ones who sue to try to recoup their expenses. If your horse runs over your friend at a ride and your friend has medical insurance and does not hold you responsible, her medical insurance provider will still try to find out if there's someone they can sue to get the money back. Ticks me off for my insurance company to do that. They made a bet I wouldn't get hurt when they covered me. I made a bet I would. I won. They should pay up. As far as I'm concerned any time I get hurt I was on public land (they can't sue the gov) and my own horse did it. So far I haven't had to lie but I'll be darned if I'm going to help'em out. When my neighbor told me I could ride on his land I asked him if I could own any spot I get hurt on. That way I can say "I was on my own land." :-) P.S. Welcome to endurance. You sound like a keeper. :-) Angie ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the internet in years - Juno SpeedBand! Surf the web up to FIVE TIMES FASTER!
