Through It All, we are measured by the purest of passions, a love of horses. This unspoken bond guides everything we do. For almost 40 years, this simple truth has been Horseware Ireland's north star, it has helped us to always deliver high performance, beautiful, sustainable products that last.
It was 1985, when Horseware Ireland created our now iconic Rambo Original, sparking a design revolution that redefined innovation within the equine industry. We forged a path that would grow across geographies, span generations, and make Horseware Ireland the world's leading equestrian brand in horse rugs and equine products, selling to over 70 countries worldwide, with more than 500 employees.
Today, more than ever, we continue to challenge what is possible and re-imagine new ways of fulfilling our mission to make life better for you, your horse, and our planet.
We celebrate the unwavering commitment, dedication, passion and trust between horse and rider, Through It All. We follow the same paths, enjoy the same spirit for adventure, and are bound by that same crazy trust and silent nod that guides our every waking move.
