husk Technology & environment

How HUSK TECHNOLOGY WORKS

HUSK'S unique & innovative designs ensure that they don't just make breathable boots & breathable saddle pads, their products are thermoregulating. HUSK Unique porous technology enables the hot air to flow from the horse's skin into the internal air pockets, and the external cooler air to flow into the same internal air pockets within the material. The combined moving air finds a median temperature within the fabric and back into the horse's skin. This technology mimics the action of your horse or pony's hair, which is also designed by nature to thermoregulate. This means that HUSK boots and saddle pads regulate your horse or pony's temperature, keeping it at the most natural level that it should be at that moment in time. This is what makes HUSK different, and why people choose HUSK.

The husk's eco commitment

Based in rural Devon, UK, surrounded by nature, HUSK are passionate about the environment.

Having attended BETA, Horse of the Year Show, and Olympia, one of the lasting memories was the smell and abundance of plastic, in all shapes and colours! Grooming products, leg protection, packaging, it was everywhere! And I asked myself, what are people going to do with the gear when they don’t want it anymore? What will happen to it? Do we even consider this when we make purchases?

So how do we at HUSK work to be kinder  to the planet?

Firstly, we sell Upcycled Products in our Discounted Products section where we offer our existing customers a BUY BACK option, and new customers the opportunity to BUY UPCYCLED at lower prices!

We also do not have excess packaging! All HUSK items come in a reusable bag, our breathable horse boots in a wash bag, and our horse and pony breathable saddle pads and rugs come in a re-usable handle bag, and that’s it! Our parcels are all sent in recyclable and recycled plastic bags. With regard to our manufacturers, we re-use our boxes and our bags to send items between us.

With regard to the people, we know everyone by name, and we work with family businesses. We pay fair prices for the production of our products as we know this turns to fair pay for our stitchers, cutters and designers. Our air flow horse boots, rugs, and saddle pads are all made by hand, and are not subjected to lines of factory machinery, just hands, sewing machines, cutting knives and scissors! We have relationships with our production specialists, and we are able to amend designs and methods of manufacture directly and specifically for HUSK.

NEEDLESS TO SAY...

We at HUSK love our planet & all that it represents. We do our best to look after it & represent it when we work.

So in future when you are thinking of buying a product, please ask yourself these questions, as it is the choices that we make now that will determine the future of our planet for our children and grand children, as well as the plants and animals that we love.
