InnovationInspired by care.
Our products are inspired by our love of horses. As the pioneers in equestrian innovation, we are continually pushing the boundaries of what's possible with our unparalleled design process to better meet our community's needs and to make life better for them and their horses.
Turnout Strength
At Horseware we use a mix of materials and varying thickness (denier) to achieve maximum strength, breathability and lightweightness with each turnout. Our spectrum illustrates out material strength with the strongest being our Ballistic Nylon, found exclusively in our Rambo Range
Polyester
is the most widely used ingredient in textiles industry made up from synthetic yarns or fibres. Horseware uses varying deniers, or weights of polyester, to cater for our customer needs.
Polypropylene
is any textile derived from the thermoplastic polymer polypropylene. We use a 1000D polypropylene which results in a robust and durable outer. Polypropylene is stronger alternative to polyester.
Ballistic Nylon
We use a 1000D Ballistic Nylon 6.6. Using this superior Ballistic Nylon allows us to remain lighter, but stronger than competitor ballistic. Ballistic Nylon is recognised as one of the strongest fabrics in textile.
All Horseware Ireland turnouts are waterproof and breathable to ensure your horse stays dry and comfortable at all times.
waterproofness
Waterproof refers to the outer layers ability to stop water passing through onto your horse. All of our turnout blankets are waterproof in excess of 3000mm.
breathability
Breathability is a measure of how quickly moisture vapour generated from your horse’s body can pass through your turnout to the outside environment. Our fabrics rug composition are meticulously engineered to allow for active ventilation to help prevent your horse from overheating.
Water loving and water hating.
All at the same time.
Aquatrans
Hydrophobic
The outer hydrophobic layer repels the entry of any water coming from the outer and drives this water vapor through the fabric and away from the outer of the turnout.
Hydrophilic
The inner hydrophilic layer is water loving and draws sweat away from the body.
Vari-Layer
Warmth
where they need it most
Layers of thermobonded fiberfill to gain maximum heat retention without the heaviness of a standard fill.
Vari-LayerGet the weight that's right for your horse
By layering fiberfill on the sides, the blanket can sit closer on the horse body, trapping the warm air and allowing greater belly coverage underneath.
