Unfortunately crime is something that we all have to live with on a day to day basis. When you have horses and equestrian equipment on site you have to give extra consideration to the security of your property.

Horse tack is a common target for thieves and it’s important to protect yourself by making sure it’s kept in a safe location.

Many people keep their tack in the house but if it’s left on the yard in a tack room then there are steps you can take to safeguard it.

You can buy lockable tack cupboards and trunks that will hold your expensive equipment such as saddles, bridles and bits. There are also saddle locks on the market which fit over a wall mounted saddle rack.

Further security equipment for saddles includes microchip kits and saddle marking.

It is also a good idea to ensure that the tack room itself is a difficult to enter as possible. Always have strong locks on windows and doors. A steel door or security shutters are a good option for bigger yards.

Fit an alarm system and consider installing CCTV. A strategically displayed warning  poster broadcasting your measures can put off petty criminals.

Take photos of your saddle so that if it does get stolen it will be easily recognisable in the event of it being recovered.

Security measures can be expensive but the heartache and money they will save in the long term make them worthwhile.
