Your Horse, Your Style

Tired of the Same Standard Horse Blankets?

Choose colours that reflect your style and suit your horse. Our blankets are proudly made locally in Cape Town and fully customisable — because it's your horse, your colours, and your needs.

Why settle for standard when you can have something made just for you?

  • I would like to compliment Whinny and Woof on their awesome fly boots. They are light, mould to the shape of the leg, and really easy to wash and dry. Kiwarra used to have fresh scratches on her legs every day from kicking at flies, (not to mention the jarring on her joints) and now her legs are clean. Thanks guys for your "Rugged-Up" fly boots.

  • We are absolutely thrilled with our new branded gear for EquiClay from Winnie & Woof. They supplied us with riding shirts, numnahs, and day sheets that perfectly represent our brand. The attention to detail and quality of materials are fantastic, and the service provided was professional and efficient. A pleasure to work with!
