Veteran Posts: 185	Hi, I'm just starting out really on my own and I have a small two horse without a tack room area:(I'm not sure what to do at overnight runs. I don't want anything happening to my stuff. Any suggestions? Trailer is a ramp load open top :( So if I changed to a lockable escape door they could just lower the ramp or get over the top if I found a way to lock the ramp up. I'm hoping to upgrade eventually but this will have to do this summer.

I hauled for a long time with a trailer like your describing and there's little you can do to prevent theft if someone really wants in. A locking box large enough for your tack would either have to be loaded and unloaded to haul the horse or it would just provide a neatly bundled package for would be thieves to put in their vehicle.

Extreme Veteran Posts: 448 Location: lone star state	Homedepot has tool boxes that come in plastic or metal that are large enough to hold lots tack or a saddle. You can secure to your truck bed and lock. (Pawn shops sometimes have theses as well) You can also get a show box from a show cattle supplier that is aluminum but more expensive. you can search for a used one they last a lifetime and hold resale value.

Certified Snake Wrangler Posts: 1672 Location: North MS	Take in the hotel with you! Or if you are sleeping in truck it stays with you. Definitely can't afford to replace all your tack and safer is sorry. Locking tool boxes are handy and the locking truck bed covers are nice as well.

Expert Posts: 2457	tool box or bed cover :) I started out with an old rusty borrowed bumper pull stock trailer - my pickup has a locking bed cover and that is where I stored all my stuff and was able to lock it safely away! ETA - the trailer had no tack area. Edited by lindseylou2290 2014-05-29 8:40 AM

Rad Dork Posts: 5218 Location: Oklahoma	Find a way to lock a locking tack box (or something similar) to the bed of your truck or trailer. My husband keeps his Yeti locked to the bed of his truck and hasn't had any problems.

Veteran Posts: 185	I'm looking into a truck cap. Thanks for all the suggestions. When I was leasing horses my saddle was cheap and I figured someone would take one of the fancy circle y's not my no name lol I'll take it to the hotel with me if all else fails.

Sock eating dog owner Posts: 4557 Location: Where the pavement ends and the West begins Utah	I locked some show tack in the back of a stall once at a horse show and tied my Rottweiler in with it on a lead rope, even had him muzzled. Came back to check on every thing before hitting the sack. That handsome fellow kept 3 people at bay. He was such a good boy! He even slipped out of his muzzle....oops. Every thing was still there next day.
