Established at the beginning of 1992 to specialise in the niche market of Carriage Driving. Carriagehouse is a small business and is now regulated by the Financial Services Authority as an insurance intermediary.

Due to our success We have now expended into insuring all horses used for recreational or breeding purposes with the exception of racehorses and polo ponies. We also cover their Tack, Harness, Carriages, trailers and horseboxes.

Fiona Gordon-Clarke & Joe

All staff at Carriagehouse own horses and compete with them, so they are ideally placed to help with your horse insurance requirements. All have had a crash course in driving and it’s equipment so they understand that owning a Ralli Car doesn’t mean you are Stirling Moss!

Policies we offer:

The Horse & Carriage Insurance Policy – for all horses and their Equipment

The Carriage Drivers Commercial Liability Policy

Personal Accident cover for Riders, Drivers and their Grooms

Club, Event and Show Organisers policies

Horse box cover

Horse box Rescue policies

'Touch & Go' in scurry mode

Whilst most of the insurances are underwritten by Lloyd’s of London, all policies are issued by Carriagehouse and then any claims are also handled by Carriagehouse. This ensures continuity between arranging your cover and then helping you if you have a problem.

The Proprietor, Fiona Gordon-Clarke, has been involved in carriage driving from a tender age and used to do well in Junior Whip classes in East Anglia. For many years she sweated blood getting her Mother’s horses ready initially for private driving and then for presentation in Horse Driving Trials.

Mulberry - 4 years old

In the past she has won and placed in Club driving trails and qualified for the Indooor Horse Driving Trial Finals driving her Russian Trotter Korsa. This horse, now retired, usewd to spend the winter hunting with a pack of bloodhounds at some considerable speed! She also rides a 17hh Thoroughbred (Country Gent) in British Eventing one day events, British Dressage and Riding Club Teams etc.

It is this connection with both riding and driving horses which meant that Carriagehouse chose to sponsor today’s ride & drive class.

We have a website which gives details of all the staff and their horses as well as more information on the types of policies that we offer. A simple web address which is: www.carriagehouseinsurance.co.uk <http://www.carriagehouseinsurance.co.uk/>
