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 first product to be produced was the Rambo rug, designed to keep the horses dry and warm as well as not slip around on them or cause them to sweat excessively. By 1996 they were leading the industry in production and sales of turnout rugs. The success of their products lead them to establish new standards for the industry around the world.
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.
Some changes include covers for the head and tail and fly busters to keep the pests off the horses as well as keep them cool and comfortable. Their designs also have higher neck coverage and are fitted to different sized animals. They have also created a line of rugs and wugs for dogs living in areas located in colder climates.
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.
This company has perfected a system of treatment for fabrics that allows them to repel water while maintaining the ability to let body heat and moisture to pass out of it. The chemical bonding process retains the supplicant feel of the fabric to be maintained indefinitely. This nanotech process was revolutionary in the industry.
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.
In an effort to be earth friendly they use nothing but renewable energy sources. The factory in Ireland is operated entirely on wind generated energy. Horseware Ireland is a dedicated member of the ISPCA and donates thousands of rugs for abused animals at the facility and around the world. They are also aligned with an agency that furnishes critically disabled children with horse and carriage therapy.
