This year it seems that there hasn’t been a week that's gone by without reports of at least one distraught horsebox owner waking up to find that their expensive horsebox or trailer has been stolen. The fact that most riders have no choice but to store their horseboxes or trailers in unattended yards, stables, or on isolated, unattended land makes them extremely appealing to thieves. Due to this, extra security is absolutely vital and GPS trackers for horse boxes and trailers are the most effective option available.
BEST GPS TRACKERS FOR HORSE BOXES
HORSEBOX GPS TRACKER FEATURES:
The MoreTrack Horse Box Tracker is a hardwired tracking device specifically programmed to ensure maximum security capabilities, providing you with vital location information as well as reassurance that you will know instantly if anyone tampers with your asset.
Trackershop provides full mobile installation of your TS10 tracking device.
In the case of horseboxes, as well as the trauma, inconvenience, and financial loss that comes with your asset being stolen, are the safety issues that it may also cause. Of course, the reason that you have a horsebox is to transport your horse(s). When you are suddenly unable to transport your horses, it can create a safety issue for them e.g if you need to move them from an open field to a location of the cover. The potential loss of earnings when not being able to get to shows/ events, races, lessons, etc can also have a major negative impact.Having a tracking device such as the TS10 from Trackershop can provide peace of mind for horsebox owners. Not only will you be instantly alerted if anyone tries to tamper with your asset, but the full mobile installation service ensures that your device is properly set up and ready to track at all times.
The consequences of having your horsebox stolen can go beyond just financial loss. The trauma and inconvenience of dealing with a stolen asset can be overwhelming. But there are also safety concerns to consider. Your horsebox not only serves as a means of transportation for your horses, but it also provides them with shelter during travel.
If your horsebox is stolen, you may suddenly find yourself unable to transport your horses in case of emergency or necessary relocation.
Regardless of whether your horse trailer is covered under insurance, the direct and indirect cost implications can be extremely damaging.
The great news is that installing a GPS tracker for your horsebox provides comprehensive protection for your hose box as well as giving you the ability to monitor your asset’s location and journey history whilst somebody else is using it. Your MoreTrack Horsebox tracker allows you to monitor the real-time location directly through the app on your phone and any computer connected to the internet.
You can also view full history, and set as many Motion and Zone alerts as you need. This allows you to instantly know if anybody moves your trailer. This is incredibly useful when you are away from your horsebox for extended periods, as well as real-time GPS tracking that you can monitor on your phone and computer. If somebody else is using your vehicle (ie if you rent your vehicles) then a horsebox tracker allows you to monitor the real-time location at all times.
√ Rapid real-time tracking (as frequent as 5 seconds)
√ Link to as many phones and computers as you need.
√ Monitor all of your horse boxes, vehicles, and assets on one map.
BEST GPS HORSE BOX TRACKERS FOR INSURANCE
If your insurance provider has requested that you install a GPS tracker for your horse box then they will most likely be referring to the S7 Tracker. This is monitored by a control room that has direct links to the police in the event of a theft. Trackershop provides nationwide mobile installation for all insurance trackers, so even if you need your device fitted at your yard or on a farm our engineers will come to you. Learn more about

BEST HORSE TRAILER GPS TRACKERS
If you have a trailer that does not have its own power source then don’t worry, you can still protect your asset with a GPS tracker. Under these circumstances, you will need Trackershop's portable magnetic GPS trackers. Our magnetic GPS trackers are exclusive to Trackershop and range from 10-day rechargeable battery life, all the way up to 6 months on a single charge.
ZONE AND MOTION ALERTS
Most horseboxes are likely being stored in isolated locations. Combine this with the fact that there is likely going to be expensive equipment onboard also, this means that a quick response to any unauthorised movement is vital. This is why an instant alert through to your phone can be the difference between a police response within minutes or discovering your van and equipment is gone several hours later when there is no chance of recovering your property. Vitally, you can also set up instant alerts through to your phone as soon as somebody moves your horsebox - prompting a rapid response to any theft. You can set as many virtual zones as you like through your mapping panel. As soon as your vehicle enters and/or leaves any of these zones you are alerted instantly via phone app notifications. You can have as many individuals set up to receive these alerts as you need at no extra cost.
BENEFITS OF A MAGNETIC TRACKER:
You will have access to the same features as the TS10 with real-time tracking and security alerts.
ATTACH AND DETACH IN SECONDS
What’s great about your magnetic GPS trackers is that there is no installation needed. You simply attach your tracking device magnetically on either the chassis of the vehicle. You can even conceal your horse trailer tracker inside the actual asset. Because there is no set place where these are positioned it makes them particularly difficult to find.
SWITCH BETWEEN ASSETS
It might be that you have several horse trailers, but you do not need to track them all 24/7. If you rent out or lend your trailers to others then you might only need to track the ones that you send off-site. Being able to remove your tracker from one asset and then attach it to another one in seconds means that you will always be able to protect your assets- even at short notice. Whichever type of horsebox you have you can rest assured knowing that it is so much more secure with a GPS tracker.
