IRON HORSE

made in Italy creations for the protection of the horse.

From a twenty-year experience of Animantia team and from the mastery of  historical Italian craftsmen an armor for the complete protection of the horse was born, first and only one of its kind: the EQUINE ARMOUR.

The armour is conceived with the goal to protect the horses travelling by plane, trailer, train and by any other necessary means. It is essential for the post-operative comfort and protection for horses as they recover from anesthesia and as shockproof for the rehabilitation of horses with neurological problems and behavioral issues.

Nowadays more and more horses travel by plane all over the world and often they undergo trauma of all sorts, despite sedation. Even during ground transportation, horses arrive, for different reasons, at their destination with major physical damages.

The idea was born precisely because there was no specific solution for horses that are exposed to long trips or to risky situations involving physical trauma. In addition, wearing the armor, the horse can safely avoid sedation that usually involves several travel days and stops for doping controls.
