Re: [RC] Newbie here - m lLiz, Sounds like you been doing your homework. I love this sport because it can be anything you want it to be. It can be a race,a pleasure ride, but it is always a test. I don't know much about personal insurance people carry, but wish you the very best. Always have a good time.

For several months now I have been lurking and reading and absorbing everything I could and only this weekend did I build up the guts to sign up and make a post. Without boring everyone, in a nutshell I started riding when I was 10 (I'm now 24) on saddlebreds doing country pleasure and gaited classes. I haven't done any competing in ages, and even so that was largely short lived. Admittedly I had neither the funds or the interest to continue showing in that discipline. Earlier this year while saddle shopping I stumbled over an endurance saddle, and took to researching it. I'd love to try my hand at it. I have a 4 year old half-Arabian, half-Saddlebred(Commander) who I've been conditioning for several months now. We're taking our time with it, but I'd like to have him in a few LD rides by this fall (if memory serves 4 year olds can enter the 25 milers, someone please correct me if I'm wrong). My question is about insurance regarding endurance riding. My sister and I have our two horses on a friend's property, with private horse owner's liability. All the riding we've done and horses we'd owned prior to this were at the riding stables we'd been attending since we started so it was never an issue. Is it necessary to up my insurance to something that will cover more if and when we begin traveling to rides? I thought I'd check with everyone here first before inquiring at my insurance company. I like my company, but I didn't want to give them an oppurtunity to pull one over on dumb, unsuspecting me ;) Many thanks to everyone!
