Sustainability

Good horse care should never come at the expense of the planet. At Paxx Equestrian®, sustainability is considered in every design decision, from the materials we select to the way our products are made and packaged.

Our focus is simple: create enrichment that is safe, durable, and thoughtfully designed, supporting the wellbeing of horses while reducing unnecessary waste wherever possible.

Thoughtful design means considering the entire life of a product, from the materials we choose and how it performs, to how long it lasts and, where appropriate, how it returns to the environment.

 

Materials

Silicone — Safe, Durable, Long-Lasting
Our lick mats are crafted from premium food-grade silicone, a non-porous material that resists bacteria and mould. Designed for longevity, silicone maintains its integrity over time, supporting hygienic use and long product life while helping reduce unnecessary waste.

Natural Rubber — Flexible, Durable, Considered
Natural rubber provides the flexibility and resilience needed for safe, repeated interaction. Sourced from rubber trees, it is a renewable material chosen for its durability, softness, and ability to withstand daily use without compromising comfort for the horse. Its long lifespan helps reduce the need for frequent replacement.

Hemp-Cotton Blend — Natural, Durable, Biodegradable
Our Nibble Rope combines hemp and organic cotton, fibres recognised for their lower environmental footprint. Hemp grows quickly with minimal water and no pesticides, while cotton enhances softness for safe interaction. Together, they create a strong, natural material designed to be enjoyed by horses and, at the end of its life, return naturally to the environment.

Recycled Nylon — Responsible Strength
Our multipurpose straps are crafted from recycled nylon, transforming post consumer and industrial waste into a durable, high-performance material. Built for daily use, it supports long-term reliability while helping reduce landfill and ocean waste.

 

Designed with Intention

Every material is selected with careful consideration for both immediate function and long-term impact. While no product is without environmental footprint, we prioritise renewable, recycled, biodegradable, and long-lasting materials wherever they are the most appropriate choice.

Rather than following a single formula, we choose the material that best suits each product's purpose, whether that's creating years of reliable use or allowing a product to naturally return to the environment at the end of its life.

Sustainability is an ongoing responsibility, one we approach with intention, transparency, and continuous improvement.

 

Honouring the Natural Connection

Our products are thoughtfully designed to enrich your horse's life while respecting the world they live in, honouring the natural connection between horses and the earth.
