Keeping your horsebox secure
Your horsebox is a likely target for thieves, especially for those kept in isolated, rural locations. But there are a few measures you can take to deter them.
- Park it somewhere safe – avoid leaving your horsebox or horse trailer on the road where possible. Instead lock it away in a garage, or park it on a driveway. This will also help to reduce the cost of your Horsebox Insurance policy
- Install CCTV – installing highly visible CCTV cameras may make thieves think twice about stealing your horsebox. And if it doesn’t, the footage could help police catch the culprits
- Secure your vehicle – putting wheel clamps on your vehicle will make it much more difficult for would-be thieves to move it, while a strong steering lock will give you added security
- Fit an alarm – an anti-theft alarm is a good way to scare off thieves that attempt to break in to your vehicle. The sound will likely frighten them off, while attracting the attention of passers-by
- Get a tracking device – a satellite device will help you track down your horsebox or trailer if you are unlucky enough to have it stolen
- Invest in an isolator – isolator switches disconnect the battery from your vehicle, stopping thieves from starting it. They’re also a great way to save battery life
