Security
initiative from Prestige Horseboxes
Prestige
Horseboxes is to microchip its new custom-built range of lorries
as part of a ground-breaking security initiative from this month.
Olympic
dressage team member Vicki Thompson is among the first to take delivery
of a new microchipped Prestige Windsor three-horse lorry.
Vicki,
who is currently enjoying a successful season, is being sponsored
by the Lancashire-based company.

Thompson and David Jackson
David
Jackson of Prestige Horseboxes, says: "We have joined forces
with Kiwi-chip-it to offer our customers peace of mind following
an upsurge in horsebox thefts. Customer care is our top priority
and this together with our outstanding after sales service, is just
one of the extras that we pride ourselves on."
The
horseboxes, which are hand-built to order, will now include a number
of hidden microchips, while a disc placed on the outside warns off
would-be thieves. In the unfortunate event that the warning is ignored,
the vehicle can be traced back to its owner via a database which
can be accessed by the police.
"This
is an exciting development for horsebox owners," says Phil
Cantwell of Kiwi-chip-it. "Thieves are far more likely to go
for an unmarked vehicle than drive away a microchipped horsebox,
which can be easily traced."
