Important Notice for Animal Owners involved in Showing Animals

The Irish Shows Association would advise all Animal owners to have Insurance cover for their Animal’s; this should include cover whilst showing Animals at Shows. We understand that it costs very little, or nothing depending on whom you have insurance cover with. If you are one of the few who don’t have cover we would advise that you think about putting it in place for this purpose, it may be well worthwhile. The reason for giving you this advice is to protect yourself in the event of your animals lashing out and injuring someone or damaging someone’s property. If that were to happen, and it is established that your animal was out of control, you may be held responsible or partly responsible for any injury or damage caused and may end up paying all, or part of any settlement reached.
