The vehicle
1.
 Horseboxes can be anything from a vegetable lorry to a furniture removal lorry. In appearance these lorries are ideal for night transportation as they are unlikely to be challenged.
2.
 Hinged and shutter doors can conceal a ramp.
3.
 Trailers will be padded with foam to reduce the noise of shod horses.
4.
 Freezer type container lorries will be used.
5.
 Transit type vans are used to transport small ponies and Shetlands.
6.
 Old wooden type trailers are a favourite as they are less noisy.
Awareness
Get into the habit of taking vehicle registration numbers. Always keep a pen and paper in your vehicle. Note the make, model and colour. Always report suspicious vehicles to the police, your Horsewatch co-ordinator and alert your friends and neighbours. It may be the contents of your tackroom they are after.
