Horseware, one of the most iconic equestrian brands in the world
Horseware of Ireland is one of the biggest equestrian brands in the world, and was started in Dundalk Ireland in 1985. The iconic Rambo rug was born after months of stitching, testing and research. This rug has set the standard for all the rugs that have followed. And since that time they have grown to become the world’s most trusted rug manufacturers. The founders Tom and Carrol MacGuinnes were determined to make a turnout rug that didn’t leak, didn’t make the horses sweat, and didn’t slip. Their success lead to the first rug that could claim all three of these factors, and leg to the development of one of the most successful equestrian brands in the world. They have expanded Horseware to produce many other products, but this is where it all started.
