The Hygienic Advantage: Waterproof Tack in Multi-Horse Use

In busy equestrian settings - from professional yards and riding schools to veterinary practices and physio visits - tack is rarely used by just one horse. Headcollars, lead ropes, and lunge lines often pass between multiple animals in a single day. While convenient, this shared use can raise serious concerns around hygiene, bacteria transfer, and even the spread of disease.

At Trinkety Equine, we believe tack should work as hard for your horse’s health as it does for your convenience. That’s why our waterproof BioThane® range has become a smarter, more hygienic alternative to traditional materials.

 

The Problem with Traditional Materials

Leather and rope have long been equestrian staples, but when it comes to hygiene, they fall short:

• Absorb moisture and dirt - sweat, saliva, and stable dust can soak in, creating breeding grounds for bacteria.
• Hard to disinfect - deep cleaning is time-consuming and often damages the material.
• Odour retention - smells linger, giving tack a “well-used” impression even when freshly cleaned.

For multi-horse environments, this creates unnecessary risk and a constant uphill battle to maintain cleanliness.

 

Why BioThane® is Different

BioThane® is the highest quality waterproof coated webbing available - and it’s transforming tack care in the equestrian world. Its unique properties make it ideal for hygienic, multi-horse use:

• Completely waterproof and non-porous – bacteria, sweat, and dirt cannot penetrate the surface.
• Easily disinfected – simply wipe down with antibacterial spray or disinfectant for a spotless finish.
• Odour-free – the material never traps smells, even after heavy use.
• Quick drying – no waiting for tack to air out before it’s ready for the next horse.

The result? Safe, reliable tack that looks and feels fresh day after day.

 

Trusted by Professionals, Loved by Yards

For vets, physios, and equine therapists, cleanliness is crucial. BioThane® tack gives professionals peace of mind when handling multiple horses in quick succession, reducing the chance of cross-contamination.

On larger riding schools and livery yards, the time saved in cleaning and disinfecting is just as valuable. Instead of soaking or scrubbing, staff can simply wipe down tack between uses, keeping equipment both practical and professional in appearance.

 

Strong, Stylish, and Practical

Of course, hygiene is just one benefit. With a breaking strength of around 500kg, BioThane® tack is built to last, while being lightweight and comfortable for the horse. At Trinkety Equine, we offer our products in 18 vibrant colours, allowing yards and professionals to coordinate or even colour-code equipment for different horses - adding both organisation and style.
