Posted by Debbie Smith, BAEN Another suggestion he had was to take photos of your saddle from all angles, top and bottom. Photograph tooling, markings, old damage, silver, serial numbers, etc. Take photos after you've marked it with your ID to illustrate where the ID's are located so law enforcement, tack store owners etc. know where to check. The link below is an article that Bonnie Davis published on BAEN a few years ago with tips for protecting horses and tack against theft. Bonnie also recommends the "mark in more than one place" idea.

He said if you're going to make the effort to ID your saddle, spread the ID around and cover your bases...
