Lexington, KY -  An agreement signed on April 12th between the United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) and Horseware Products, Ltd., has made Horseware the "Official Blanket of U.S. High Performance Teams." As part of the relationship, Horseware will provide custom "U.S.A" branded blankets for teams representing the United States and commemorative coolers for U.S. equestrian athletes competing at the 2012 Olympic Games in London. Additionally, the sponsorship grants all USEF Members a 10% discount on Horseware products when ordered through SmartPak. 

"Just as high performance athletes focus on excellence in training and competing, Horseware emphasizes quality and innovation in all our products, so it is really a natural relationship," says Tom MacGuinness, Horseware's owner and founder. "We are very pleased to be the official blanket choice of high performance teams in the U.S."

Horseware Ireland's collection of horse blankets and coolers includes the world-renowned Rambo®, which revolutionized the breathable, waterproof turnout market, along with Rhino® and Amigo®. Since its founding in 1985, the company has prided itself on outfitting horses and their people with high-quality, thoughtful clothing and accessories for any season, riding discipline, or lifestyle through a comprehensive network of retail partners. Horseware gives back to the equestrian community through rider and show sponsorships, charitable donations, and support of the Just World International humanitarian program. The company is headquartered in Ireland, with a U.S. outpost in North Carolina.
