Tack and Equipment Security

This page provides information about how to secure your Tack and Equipment.

  • ‘Post coding’ or marking your tack and equipment could act as a deterrent and prevent the opportunity for crime to occur – you could consider using a UV Pen, DNA solutions, Permanent Marker Pen, Metal Punches or Engraving.
  • The marking should state the postcode of your premises and number of address –  i.e. HU5 5SF 29.
  • It is not advisable to use punches or engraving on items that could be weakened or damaged by applying this process – i.e. reins, thin bridles or stirrup leathers.
  • You should also keep a photographic and written record of your tack and equipment.
  • You could invest in secure storage units - Kite marked to BS EN1143-1:2005.
