AGRIA LIFETIME EQUINE INSURANCE SPONSORS WORLD CHAMPION EVENTER ROS CANTER
Agria, the specialist pet insurer launching a revolutionary Lifetime Equine insurance in the UK this summer, is delighted to announce its sponsorship of eventing World Champion, Ros Canter.
Ros contests Burghley this week on Pencos Crown Jewel and will be defending her world title shortly afterwards with the mare’s half-brother, Lordships Graffalo, at the FEI Eventing World Championships in Pratoni 14th – 25th September.
“As we launch a world-class product that will materially help horse welfare in Britain, what could be more appropriate than a partnership with a World Champion?” says Vicki Wentworth, Managing Director of Agria in the UK, herself a keen event rider.
Agria’s Lifetime Equine insurance allows horse owners the reassurance that vet bills can be covered year after year for recurring injuries or repetitive or chronic conditions, ensuring their horses’ lifelong welfare. A Lifetime policy, with up to £10,000 of vet fees cover every year, means that owners will no longer face the difficult decision of whether to “call the vet or wait and see”.
Ros says of the deal: “As someone who has built my career on working with top-class young horses, I’ve followed the development of this new insurance cover with great interest. I know it will be a game-changer for owners, especially as economic conditions make unexpected veterinary bills and exclusions ever more worrying.”
Central to Agria’s ethos is animal welfare and providing exceptional customer service for which it has won several awards. Agria Lifetime Equine’s team is made up of horse owners who understand the challenges fellow equestrians face, and their policies have been developed in close consultation with equine vets, and animal health professionals.
