All-Weather Tack: Rain, Mud & Shine with BioThane®

Horse owners know that the weather rarely works in our favour. From muddy winter paddocks to sudden downpours on summer hacks, traditional tack is constantly put to the test. Leather stiffens and cracks when wet, rope leads absorb mud and odours, and endless scrubbing becomes part of daily yard life.

At Trinkety Equine, we believe that reliable tack should withstand every season - not just look good when it’s fresh out of the tack room. That’s why we’ve introduced a new generation of all-weather tack made from BioThane®, a material designed to take the hard work out of horse care.

Why Traditional Tack Struggles in Wet Weather

Leather and rope have been the go-to materials for decades, but both come with challenges:

  • Leather absorbs moisture, becoming heavy, stiff, and prone to cracking if not carefully dried and conditioned.

  • Rope leads and lunge lines soak up mud, sweat, and rain, which not only creates odours but also adds unnecessary weight.

  • Constant cleaning and drying routines take up valuable time in already busy days on the yard.

For horse owners and equine professionals, this means extra expense, extra effort, and shorter product lifespans.

The BioThane® Difference

BioThane® is the highest quality waterproof coated webbing available on the market today. Already trusted in the working dog and hound world, we’re proud to now bring its many advantages to the equestrian sector.

  • Completely waterproof – rain simply rolls off the surface.

  • Mud- and sweat-resistant – wipes clean in seconds with a damp cloth.

  • Odour-free – unlike rope or fabric, BioThane® does not absorb smells.

  • Quick drying – no need to hang tack to drip for hours.

  • Strong and safe – with an average breaking strength of around 500kg, you can rely on its performance even in tough conditions.

This means your tack stays fresh, functional, and ready to use - whether it’s been through a rainstorm, a muddy turnout, or a sweaty training session.

Time-Saving for Everyday Riders and Professionals

One of the biggest advantages of BioThane® tack is how much time and effort it saves. A quick wipe is all it takes to restore your headcollar, lunge line, or lead rope to like-new condition. For busy riders, yards with multiple horses, or professionals such as vets and physios who need hygienic equipment, this easy-clean practicality is invaluable.

No more soaking, scrubbing, or waiting for tack to get dry - BioThane® is ready to go when you are.

Style Meets Practicality

Durability doesn’t mean compromising on looks. Our Trinkety Equine BioThane® range is available in 18 vibrant colours, from bold brights to classic tones, so you can mix and match with your horse’s wardrobe. Whether you prefer a smart, understated look or something more eye-catching, there’s a colour combination to suit every rider.

German Design Meets British Craftsmanship

At Trinkety Equine, we combine German precision in design with skilled British craftsmanship in our Northamptonshire workshop. With over five years of experience working with BioThane® in the pet sector, we’ve refined every detail to bring equestrians a product that’s not only innovative but also built to last. The result? Tack that blends durability with style, giving riders peace of mind whatever the weather.

All-Weather Reliability, Every Season

From rainy winter mornings to dusty summer shows, BioThane® tack has been designed to perform through it all. While others are busy scrubbing mud out of rope leads or oiling cracked leather, you’ll already be back in the saddle.

At Trinkety Equine, we’re proud to offer tack that makes life easier without compromising on safety, style, or quality. Once you’ve tried BioThane®, you’ll wonder how you ever managed without it.
