Insurance
Consistent with previous years, personal liability insurance is not available as part of the HSI Carriage Driving Section membership. The Carriage Driving Section is part of HSI, as such, our official events benefit from the HSI public liability insurance coverage for the running of events. As a result, if a claimant holds the Carriage Driving section of HSI (Horse Sport Ireland) responsible for an accident, they are indemnified for the first 10 events under the HSI policy. However, if a member/participant causes an accident at a Carriage driving event and someone holds the member/participant liable, they need to have their own cover in place and the HSI policy will not indemnify them. As a result, we require all drivers to carry their own personal liability coverage to drive or compete at HSI events. For avoidance of doubt, it is the responsibility of members to assess their own personal insurance needs relative to terms, conditions and exclusions of coverage offered as part of the aforementioned memberships.
