Is there such a thing as..

Hiya

A lockable gate that can be locked/unlocked on horse back. It’s my drive gate so it’s annoying to have to walk down the drive and I’m sure someone’s going to pinch my mounting block but it’s not life or death. But so so so annoying.

In other news my horse went brilliantly today and I’m bursting with pride. The sky seems bluer, the birds singing sounds even better etc etc. I could squeeze him to death (and regularly do try). Anyway just wanted to share without seeing my husbands eyes glaze over! ‍♀

Electric gate with a remote control?

Electric gate with a remote control?

I’ve asked for that for the last 3 xmas’s … Santa sucks!

Does it need to be locked or is it just to make sure it's shut when you leave and return?

Sadly as part of our insurance.

Following this as I have the same problem! Would love a lock I could open on horse back!

Can you put a combination lock on the gate? I've always been able to do those from horseback if they are at an OK-ish height (with a bit of stretching sometimes!)

At last-but-one yard we had a hacking gate that was electric and slid across rather than a hinged opening. It opened with a combination keypad either side of it, which was easier for the YO than constantly replacing lost remote control fobs.

Ohhh I say that sounds fabulous! I will Google this.

I would like this to exist. Im googling.

Put rising sticks/bars on the gate and the gatepost with a hole in each near the top and padlock them together at horse height?

Could you use an electronic door lock with a fob for while you're out on the horse with a sturdier back up?

We have this where I am now, during yard hours you can open it by pressing a button on a post (one at standing height and one at riding height!) and outside of those hours it's a keypad with a code to get in.

Could you put a cycle lock on it?
