Who are we?
Premier Equine is a Great British brand and global leader in horse leg protection and injury prevention. Globally recognised for providing premium quality and technically advanced products, PE is at the forefront of innovation, technology, and protection in the equine sector.

A brand inspired by riders, horses, and professionals; the in-house design team meticulously engineer our specialist equine products to the highest standard.
Vision & Values
Our vision is to provide our customers with the latest in sports technology in the areas of protection and performance, at an affordable price.
We want to provide the very best protection for you and your horse, so we continuously invest in our design and manufacturing processes to be able to provide some of the most technologically advanced horse and rider specific products on the market. From fabric selection to fastenings and finishes – every detail has been carefully chosen to provide superior functionality, performance, and style.
As well as the very best in product performance and functionality, we aim to provide the highest standard of customer care. Our expert team are trained to be ready to help you with any query you may have about us, our products and fitting of our products.
The environment is important to us. Along with offering good value, we offer products that have been designed to last which helps to combat the “disposable” and “throwaway” culture that can often surround the equestrian industry, fuelled by poorly made products.
We are working hard to incorporate more eco-friendly practices into our operations and products, which is why we try to minimise the amount of disposable plastics in our packaging. Many of our product lines have been carefully hand packaged in complimentary, reusable zip-fastened storage bags for easy carrying and to keep your products clean and tidy when not in use, to aid the longevity of your items even further.
To accelerate our eco-friendly mission we have gone paperless – no longer offering a printed season-specific catalogue. Instead, you can browse our product ranges online with ease and less of an impact on the environment.
Heritage
Horse care and protection is in our company DNA. Both directors have originated from a horse racing industry background, having worked within racing professionally for many years with numerous esteemed trainers. The attention to detail that went into the daily care & training regime of the racehorses along with demanding the absolute highest standard has been built into the founding values and operations of Premier Equine from its inception.
Our products are different because of our deeper understanding of the importance of protection to all sport horses competing in their various disciplines. We understand the impact that ill-fitting or inferior quality equipment can have on a performance horse, potentially putting them out of action for a period. We work closely with industry professionals to improve our understanding of sports horses’ needs.
We believe that our work has a much-valued position in the equine market that benefits the professional users and everyday person that loves owning a horse for their own personal pleasure alike. Our technically advanced products are an essential to all who want to provide the best protection for their horse.
Technology
Our famous ‘Buster’ rug range launched in 2002 and became an instant hit with the equine community due to it’s never-before-seen advanced technology that focused on wither comfort, freedom of movement in the shoulder, breathability, self-righting properties, quality of waterproofing and the introduction of the concept of being able to use the same rug day and night, indoors and outdoors – particularly revolutionary for those who did not have access to drying facilities on personal use yards.
In 2003 our globally acclaimed Air Cooled Eventing/ Racing Boots joined our product range, offering ground-breaking leg protection for racehorses and event horses alike. Offering superior lightweight protection, the boots incorporate a specifically engineered strike guard that protects the important tendons and ligaments on the front boot from knocks and overreach injuries and the hind boot strike guard protects the front of the leg from impact with fences.
Our patented air cooling technology (patent numbers GB2407777 and GB2394666) allows cool air to pass through the front vents as the horse gallops, circulates and exits out of the side vents. This process allows a constant stream of cold air to pass through over the tendons, keeping them cool.
Revolutionary for its time, this technology still provides our customer’s horses with superior leg protection to this day. Whilst we are constantly innovating and altering our manufacturing processes to offer ultimate protection, our air cooling design remains some of the very best engineering in the equestrian sector.
Our magnet and infrared products have been developed with industry experts. Combining the USA’s technology in magnets with our experience in horse rugs and boots we have enjoyed worldwide success in all disciplines of the equine industry and helped many a top racehorse, event horse, dressage horse etc. to keep training and competing with the aid of our magnet & infrared products.
Innovation drives everything that we do. We are committed to offering our customers the very latest in sports technology to aid performance of both horse and rider. That is why we continuously and heavily invest in our development, design, and manufacturing processes.
