Horse
tack, trailers and horse boxes are regularly targeted by thieves. Marking tack
is something that could help to deter a would-be thief. Thieves are less likely
to steal valuable tack that can be traceable to an owner.
If you would like information about marking saddles with a unique
transponder, please visit the Datatag website.
