Horse box GPS trackers UK, protecting your most valuable equestrian asset

A horse box represents a major investment that typically carries an even more valuable and irreplaceable cargo. GPS tracking provides both vehicle security for the horse box itself and the peace of mind that comes from knowing the vehicle’s location at all times. Movement alerts during overnight storage or while at competitions mean you are notified immediately if the horse box is moved without your knowledge.

Horse box theft risk

Horse boxes are high-value assets that face theft risk both as vehicles and as specialist equipment. A large coachbuilt horse box on a Mercedes Sprinter or Ford Transit base can cost £30,000 to £100,000. Horse boxes are commonly stored in rural locations including equestrian centres, livery yards, and private property with limited security infrastructure. Theft from these locations is typically not discovered until the owner next visits to prepare for a competition or ride.

Relay attack on keyless horse box base vehicles follows the same method as any commercial van theft. LockCar’s relay immobiliser prevents engine start regardless of relay attack, protecting both the horse box and its contents.

GPS tracking at competitions and events

Horse boxes spend extended periods parked at equestrian events, competition venues, and overnight stops during multi-day events. Geofencing around the event venue or competition location notifies the owner if the vehicle moves unexpectedly during the event. This provides protection not only against theft but also against the vehicle being accidentally moved or damaged by another vehicle in a busy competition parking area.

Live location access via the LockCar app allows owners at distant events to check their horse box location at any time, providing reassurance during overnight stays at unfamiliar venues.

Base vehicle compatibility

Horse boxes are built on a range of base vehicles including Ford Transit, Mercedes Sprinter, Iveco Daily, and heavy truck platforms. LockCar hardware supports all common horse box base platforms with both 12V and 24V electrical system compatibility. Contact LockCar for specific installation guidance for your horse box base vehicle.
