In 1985 the MacGuiness' created their company, Horseware Ireland. The business was built on the need for horsewares that were more durable and better suited to the comfort of animals. Before long they had taken over the market, leaving their competition with only one recourse. To quickly adjust their products to mimic those of Tom MacGuiness.
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 products they have created show that they are constantly working to improve on them. The rugs have morphed into wugs and the reasoning for the changes show a highly developed knowledge of the needs of consumers and their horses. Although both products are available they cater to separate uses and most times to different climates and terrains.
They have made improvements that consist of higher neck covers, front clasps to stop sliding, head and tail guards and light weight rugs designed to keep flies and other pests off of the animal. The variety of different fabrics and fillers that are used will keep your horse comfortable regardless of where you live.
The special fillers that are used are thermo-bonded to recover the fullness, or loft, should the horse crush it in some manner. This special feature allows air to circulate evenly in and around the rug, thereby keeping the animal warmer and dryer than other rugs or wugs. Another aspect of their products is called rip-stop. This system, originally used in flack jackets for police and soldiers, helps keep the covers from tearing should they get punctured during normal use.
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.
Over the past twenty plus years this company has built a reputation of excellence and innovation in the horse community. They have been given highest honors for the wugs and turn out rugs for up to ten years consecutively. The diversity of lines they have created has worked to their benefit and to the benefit of customers and their animals.
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.
