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, helping reduce unnecessary waste while supporting the wellbeing of horses. Responsible design is not a feature, it is a standard that guides everything we create.

 

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 and does not fragment into microplastics, supporting both hygienic use and reduced environmental impact.

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 supports thoughtful design by reducing the need for frequent replacement.

Hemp-Cotton Blend — Naturally Durable
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 with both horses and the environment in mind.

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 footprint, we prioritise renewable, recycled, and long-lasting materials over those that rely on non-renewable resources, minimising waste wherever possible and making thoughtful improvements as we grow.

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

 

Honouring the Natural Connection

Thoughtfully designed to enrich your horse’s life while respecting the world they live in, honouring the natural connection between horses and the earth.
