Protect
your passion
Kentucky Horsewear
develops products to protect horses and dogs and cannot do so while harming
other animals. This is why we only use materials with no animal ingredients,
like artificial leather, artificial sheepskin and artificial rabbit skin. The
only difference stands in better quality and durability!
Kentucky
Horsewear was established back in 2011 and rapidly became the must-have brand
for protective horse boots across all disciplines. While our core values are
excellence & innovation, our mission statement is to provide high quality
and stylish products with extreme protection and comfort for your horses during
training and competition. With our own expertise, you can be certain that the
protection, comfort and well-being of your horse always comes first.
Today
we are proud to see Kentucky Horsewear products sold and worn worldwide on some
of the world’s very best horses competing in the most prestigious rings around
the globe.
IMITATION LEATHER
By using imitation
leather, we accomplish the key values of our company: quality, durability and
low maintenance. Our imitation leather is waterproof and can therefore never be
affected by water or dirt whereas real leather absorbs them. This prevents the
imitation leather from cracking and drying out as well as changing color.
Especially made to sustain the washing machine at 30°, the imitation leather
is easy to maintain as
you can also simply clean it with water and a sponge.
It has
excellent values for tear strength and a very high abrasive resistance and is
also very resistant to puncture holes that can be caused by studs. In
comparison with real leather, imitation leather weighs a lot less which
ensures extra comfort and
can also enhance the performance.
ARTIFICIAL
SHEEPSKIN
Developed
with the expertise of this company, our artificial sheepskin is better than
real sheepskin in every way. It is attached to a knitted base and laminated to
a suede fabric, both air
permeable and breathable.
As soft
and performant as
real sheepskin, the artificial sheepskin has the great advantage to sustain
many washes compared to the real one. We recommend to use the normal washing
process at 30° and to let it dry outside.
Producing
high quality artificial sheepskin actually costs more than real sheepskin. Our
entire product range doesn’t contain any animal ingredients and this is worth
the cost! We are 100% animal-friendly.
ARTIFICIAL
RABBIT SKIN
Next to
our famous artificial sheepskin, we developed an artificial rabbit skin that is
mainly used as a lining for our horse rugs.
The
artificial rabbit skin has some great advantages. It’s extremely soft which
prevents the horses from getting rubs on the shoulders. Another great advantage
is that the hairs don’t stick in the lining.
Thanks
to the small and soft hairs, your horses get a shinier coat in the
same way as they get polished with a woollen glove. The artificial rabbit skin
also creates tiny air pockets that trap and retain the body heat. Because of
the high warmth to weight ratio the artificial rabbit skin offers excellent comfort.
SOLIMBRA
Thanks to
the use of Solimbra on the outer shell of some of our boots, we can
provide enhanced
protection for your horses.
The
laminated Solimbra outer offers all weather protection combined with extreme breathability.
The fabric has been tested under the hardest conditions and continues to prove
its worth in the field. The boots will not absorb water guaranteeing a lightweight and dry
alternative to a heavy soaking boot.
PROTECK IMPACT
GEL
Thanks to
the use of Proteck Impact Gel within our boots, we can ensure the best
protection for your horses.
The
Proteck Impact Gel is a light and clever material that locks on impact and
then disperses the
blow returning to its former pliable self immediately.
Laboratory tests have shown that the boots using this technology absorb impact
over 50% better than
any other boots currently on the market, with the ability
to disperse a heavy blow equivalent to that which would actually break a human
bone.
3 LAYERS SYSTEM
In
order to offer the best comfort for horses and riders, we use a 3 Layers System
with a succession of an absorb fabric, a memory foam and the shock-absorbing
gel on some of our products. This allows to relieve pressure and provide
comfortable and performant items.
3D SPACER
We
developed innovative 3D spacer shock absorbing material that is specially
developed for the equestrian market with its specific requirements. The key
elements for developing our 3D spacer shock absorbing material are:
- Breathable
& Air permeable
- Shock
absorbing
- Comfortable
- Skin
friendly
- Extremely
light
These
five unique elements have been mixed together with our 3D spacer shock
absorbing material as a result. Thanks to its unique 3D technology, which is
a honeycomb structure,
it allows the body heat of the horse to go through as well as offering a
cushioning effect, which is extremely comfortable.
The 3D
spacer material is bounded with a perforated shock absorbing gel that protects
the horse’s legs against strikes or blows.
Thanks to
the combination of all these outstanding materials, our 3D spacer shock
absorbing material is extremely performant whilst
still being extremely light weight which enhances the comfort and performance
of your horses.
RECUPTEX
We’ve
created a brand new range of products that not only help treat numerous medical
problems but also help to prevent a verse area of ailments. Commonly used by
professionals and serious amateurs alike, the Kentucky Horsewear Recuptex range
is a tack room and first
aid essential unlike any other currently on the market
place.
The
Recuptex range is created from a patented 21st century
fabric called Recuptex. Made from the finest stainless steel yarn in the world
based on Bekaert BEKINOX© technology*, the weaving acts like a Faraday
cage, reflecting the
magnetic fields created inside the body. Preserving these
fields stimulates blood circulation and oxygen flow in the horses’ legs which
heals and both reduces swelling and inflammations and enables faster healing of
micro-fractures.
This makes
the Recuptex range ideal for treating horses with chronic arthritis
problems or tendon problems, and helping to accelerate the recovery process in
a natural and protective environment. Our Recuptex range is a trustworthy
and highly technological range of product which no horse should be without.
*the
inox yarn is made by Bekaert, one of the biggest Belgian companies specializing
in stainless steel products. Employing over 28.000 people, they have a turnover
of 4,6 billion euros – giving reassurance to customers on the soundness behind
technology.
The famous Italian brand “KEP Italia” now also available at Tack Store IPPEAS

Tack Store IPPEAS now offers possibly the best riding helmets in the world – KEP Italia, combining the very best available in terms of design, technology, raw materials and safety.
KEP Italia is an Italian company founded on pure passion in 2007. The desire was to design and then produce a more comfortable, safe and innovative helmet than those available on the market up to that moment: KEP Italia wanted to offer the best helmet in the world.
All this ensures the superior quality of KEP Italia helmets: not an advertising slogan, but a true corporate belief. “I don’t know if we will ever reach the top in the absolute sense, but we will certainly do all we can to get there,” confirms the management team. The company, located near Brescia in Northern Italy, is a firm believer in the Made in Italy label: all the raw materials and all the details that make up the KEP helmets are 100% nationally produced.
