About Horseware® Products Ltd.
Tom and Carol MacGuinness founded Horseware® Products Ltd. determined to produce a turnout rug that didn’t leak, slip or cause the horse to sweat. In 1985, they revolutionized the industry with the introduction of the Rambo® Original – the first fully waterproof and breathable turnout that really worked. By 1996 the Rambo® had become the world’s best selling Turnout rug and its design has become the industry standard in production, quality and development.

Since then, Horseware’s key policy of ‘Innovation not Imitation’ has led the company to create the Rhino and Amigo lines of horse clothing based on the original Rambo® design, and several lines of equestrian lifestyle clothing.
