About Us
Atlantic-Equine.co.uk
is a website of Atlantic Equine Ltd. The company was founded in 1989 by Tony
Lindsell.
We
are the UK importers and distributors for a number of high quality, brand-name
equine hoofcare products, namely:
- The Victory Racing
Plate Company, USA
- Equilox
International Inc., USA
- Soundhorse
Technologies, USA
- Double S, Italy
- Easycare Inc., USA
The
Victory Racing Plate Company's
brands include the EC Queens Plate, the RX plate, the Elite Competition Shoe,
Hoof-Life acrylic and urethane adhesives, True-Flite pads and Hoof Shield
thermoplastic pads.
Atlantic
Equine assisted Victory in the research and design of the EC Queens Plate, a
drop-forged aluminium racing plate that rapidly became market leader in the UK
and is now sold all over the world. From Nashwan to Kauto Star and Thistlecrack, trainers and
farriers have continuously relied on the quality of the Victory product both on
the Flat and over jumps.
Equilox
International Inc. were the first company to market an
acrylic adhesive in the equine world. Atlantic Equine launched the product in
the UK and it rapidly transformed farriers' approach to hoof repair and hoof
correction. Many copy-cat products have since followed, but Equilox remains
pre-eminent in this field. In addition, farriers have now found that it is
equally effective in glueing-on shoes without the use of nails.
Soundhorse
Technologies' glue-on cuff shoeing system
provides a unique alternative to nailing-on shoes. With a urethane rim pad on
the hoof surface of the shoe to absorb concussion, the Soundhorse product has
proven an excellent solution for problem feet over a number of years. More
recently, the company has launched the Flexx range, a direct-glue urethane
product that has built-in wear characteristics, can be shaped to the hoof and
looks like a standard shoe.
Double S is an Italian company who specialise in the
manufacture of farrier tools and also horseshoes. Their range of hoof knives
have been very popular for a long time, combining quality with a competitive
price. The Schelfi brothers, who own the company, have built a photovoltaic
solar tracking system to generate the carbon-neutral, sustainable energy used in the manufacture of their products.
Easycare Inc. has been a market leader and innovator for many
years in the growing hoof boot market. Brands such as Old Mac’s, Trail, Glove,
Cloud, New Mac and Mini are all part of the Easycare range. Whether hoof boots
are being used for the performance horse, for pleasure, trail or endurance
riding, or for therapy, Easycare have a relevant product.
Atlantic
Equine Ltd also supplies
Cavallo, Equine Fusion, Scoot and
