Insurance and other information
Insurance
The HAK recommends that you insure yourself for Public Liability and your horse for Mortality. The premium is inexpensive and therefore worth taking out.
Public Liability covers your yard and horses belonging to you in the event of a third party accident. Mortality cover is for accidental injury or death of a horse. Please contact the Secretary, PO Box 24555, 00502 Karen, tel 0724 804 564 for recommendations.
Registration of Horses
All competing horses and ponies MUST be registered with the HAK. Registration forms can be obtained from the HAK Secretary or the Registration Secretary, and you are required to re-register your horses/ponies annually. Change of Ownership, Change of Name of Horse and Deeds of Lease must also be registered. In 1993 the HAK implemented a system of permanent numbers for all competing horses/ponies.
Measurement Certificates
All horses and ponies competing in showing classes require a measurement certificate. Measurement can be done either by a Vet or Official Panel Member at any time of the year, or at a show. You will be informed at the show when measuring will take place. There is a fee for initial measuring. Subsequent, annual, measurement being free. When a horse/pony reaches the age of 8 years it is issued with a Life Certificate. Horses over 16hh, and those who do not take part in showing classes, need only the initial measurement.
