Behind the Seams: What Goes Into Designing Durable Horse Gear
Horse gear may look simple, but every seam, fabric choice, and buckle is carefully designed for performance. Here’s a peek behind the seams.
Fabric Selection
-
Tough outer shells like ripstop nylon or Textilene® withstand pasture play.
-
Breathable weaves keep horses cool while staying durable.
Reinforced Stitching
-
High-stress areas like shoulders and surcingles need extra strength.
-
Double or triple stitching prevents premature wear.
Hardware & Fasteners
-
Rust-resistant buckles and snaps hold up in all weather.
-
Adjustable designs ensure the best fit across body types.
Testing & Feedback
-
Gear is trialed in real turnout conditions.
-
Rider and barn feedback helps refine designs.
Conclusion
Durable gear doesn’t happen by accident—it’s the result of thoughtful design and real-world testing. That’s what makes quality products stand the test of time. Our Lifetime Guarantee ensures it.
