A friend of mine boards her horse and recently had her saddle stolen- (or borrowed without permission. Yet another reason I am so grateful to have my own little place at home!) Luckily it was an older second-hand saddle she was getting ready to sell as soon as her new Pessoa came in, but it made me realize just how vulnerable the tack is at a boarding stable. :no:
How would someone go about securing their saddle to prevent theft?
Their tack room is fairly small so there is no room for locking tack trunks or lockers. Everyone has their saddles on racks stacked up on the wall with hooks right next to the rack for bridles and girths.
I've seen western saddles locked to their wall racks by a bike chain placed through the hole right behind the pommel, but english style saddles don't have that hole.
