Take the Right Tack Against Theft

NFU

“A horse without its tack is like a car without a steering wheel.” That’s how one victim of tack theft summed-up her frustration after thieves smashed their way into her locked tack room and stole several items, including valuable saddles, bridles and head-collars.

Alison Murfit lives a 10 minute drive away from her yard and the first thing she knew about the theft was when a neighbouring farmer disturbed the thieves and raised the alarm. When Alison arrived she discovered the thieves had smashed through the tack room door with a sledgehammer to gain entry, presumably after finding the door securely locked:

“My tack room is a brick building with secure locks but even this didn’t deter the thieves.  They had obviously come prepared to get into the building by whatever means necessary.”
