When looking to purchase stabling there are a number of
issues to consider including security.
Equestrian yards and stable blocks can be targeted by
thieves who are looking to make off with valuable riding equipment.
Police advice horse enthusiasts to ensure their equipment is
marked and recorded with their postcode. This will ensure that when recovered
it can be taken back to its rightful owner.
Recently, bridles, bits and other items of tack were taken
from stables in Northumberland.
Horse riding equipment including saddles and bridles are
expensive to be replaced and opportunist thieves are taking advantage, say
police officers.
Here at Cheval Liberte (UK) Ltd take security of stables
very seriously and are happy to answer any questions you may have. In the
meantime think about the following crime prevention methods to safeguard your
stable from being broken into.
1. Have
adequate locks on gates surrounding your yard.
2. Mark
all tack with your postcode.
3. Think
about installing CCTV cameras.
4. Photograph
your horses and equipment so if they are stolen you have something to show
police.
5. Have
security lighting around your stables.
6. If
possible, wheel clamp horseboxes.
7. Horses
could be targeted too – remember to micro chip your animals. However, never
padlock a stable when your horse is inside.
There are a number of things to consider when choosing stables
or American Barns
including internal
stables, doors
and windows. Whatever you decide rest assured we can discuss all your
security needs.
