What To Expect From Horseware Ireland

By Jayne Rutledge


When Tom and Carol MacGuiness began making horse products their goal was to create items that were more durable and serviceable for the stable. When Horseware Ireland began production in 1985 they set a company policy that demanded reevaluation on their products on a constant basis. This policy paid off for them by helping them to make the best rugs in the world.

The original rug was called the Rambo and was designed to be water proof, not cause the horse to sweat and would not slip off or around on the animal. Their hard work and dedication paid off in 1996 by producing the best selling turnout rug in the industry, worldwide. Since that time they have made many changes and new products designed to help consumers and make the horses more comfortable.

The bottom line policy of this company is constant review and innovative thinking. They are constantly improving their products to make them more consumer and horse friendly. Some improvements have presented themselves as a new line of product such as wugs. They differ from the rugs in that they are worn outside as well as inside the barn. The construction and materials are designed for use in different climates and terrains.

One of the new rugs they created is called the fly buster. It is specifically designed to keep the horses free of flies and other pests. It is made of a light enough fabric that it also protects them from the sun and helps keep them cool on summer days. The company has a variety of fabrics they have created to assure comfort for the animals.

All fillers and fabrics that are used are designed to recover depth and thickness should your horse decide to roll on the ground. This process is called thermo-bonding. The loft of the fabric is what maintains the warmth the rug generates not simply the thickness. They also use a process called rip stop to protect the product. This system works by inserting a stronger nylon thread into the fabric every half inch to prevent tears from enlarging past the stronger thread.

The company has developed a line of clothing for all members of a family. They have a very attractive line of coats and pants for men, women and children to use when working with horses or riding them. These clothing items are durable and fashionable at the same time. They work and play with the same attention to style and versatility as all other products created here.

They are partners with agencies that promote human and animal sensitivity. They are affiliated with the ISPCA as well as Manege Zonder Dremples. Two organizations dedicated to the improvement of circumstances involving human and animal issues. One of the agencies supply carriage rides for disabled children and for the other agency they supply rugs for dogs and horses that have been abandoned worldwide. The focus of their assistance falls on animals that have been abused and starved.

The Horseware Ireland Company is also an environmentally friendly enterprise. They use only renewable wind generated power in their Irish factory. They are also very community aware and have aligned themselves with the Manege Zonder Dremples who create and supply specially adapted carriages for severely disabled children as a form of therapy. Another alliance is with the ISPCA by supplying horse and dog rugs for abandoned and abused animals that have been rescued. They project a superbly professional attitude that speaks to the future of the world.
