INSUARANCE & OTHER INFORMATION
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: +254 (0) 724 804 564 for recommendations.
Registration of Horses
All competing horses and ponies MUST be registered with the HAK. Registration is done through the HAK Platform which is part of this website (should you have any problems please contact the HAK Secretary).
You are required to re-register your horses/ponies annually.
Change of Ownership, Change of Name of Horse (not recommended) 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 Ponies competing at HAK shows or HAK affiliated shows must have a measurement certificate.
Furthermore, horses competing in showing classes also 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 is 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 to be done.
