Horses in Florida are the latest target of equine thieves. These hooligans are terrorizing local barns and stables in an attempt to steal and resell horses.

Many owners have been confining their horses to stalls at night, in secure barns. Security lighting, motion detection devices, and alarm systems are options, as well as having someone live on the premises are some steps to keeping your horse safe. Installing a good quality baby monitor in the barn can also be a help, as you will be able to hear activity that might signal danger.
