Equestrian Fabric: Frequently Asked Questions
What fabric is used for horse rugs and equestrian gear?
Horse rugs and equestrian gear are commonly made from cotton canvas, polyester-cotton canvas and polyester ripstop. Cotton is breathable and comfortable for stable rugs and sheets, while ripstop poly-cotton and polyester add tear resistance for turnout rugs.
Why is breathability important in horse rugs?
Horses sweat under rugs, especially after exercise. Breathable fabric lets that moisture escape, keeping the horse dry and reducing the risk of chills and skin problems.
Is equestrian canvas waterproof?
Canvas can be given water-repellent finishes that help rugs and covers shed rain while staying breathable. Coated constructions are available where full waterproofing is required.
What fabric is best for saddle covers and tack bags?
Heavy cotton canvas is a popular choice for saddle covers, tack bags and grooming bags because it is strong, abrasion resistant and easy to stitch.
Can equestrian fabric be dyed in custom colours?
Yes. Equestrian fabric can be dyed in classic stable colours or your brand shades, with consistent colour across repeat orders.
Do you supply samples?
Yes. Samples and technical data are available for approval before bulk production. Contact info@cottoncanvas.com with your requirements.
Do you export equestrian fabric?
Yes. Cotton Canvas manufactures in Kanpur, India, and has supplied canvas since 1983 to equestrian gear makers worldwide.
