While the best tack lockers won’t hold off the most determined tack thieves, they’ll certainly act as a deterrent, while also keeping your kit clean, organised and protected from damage. Tack lockers and trolleys are a practical solution, whether you’re looking to store your tack when you’re at home, competing away or on the move. They can be used at the yard to keep your things separate in a shared space, or wheeled to your stable at a show for easy access.
When choosing the best tack locker for you, ensure it has enough storage for the number of horses you require. Some are portable, with wheels and handles, while others are designed for permanent residence in your tack room, so where you hope to use it is probably your most important consideration.
