From a Messy Tack Room to a Market-Changing Idea

The original Rug Rack in a barn setting

The Rug Rack began as a simple idea from an Irish horseman and father who was tired of walking into a messy tack room.

With three pony-loving kids and a pile of rugs draped over stable doors and fences, he wanted a smarter way to keep everything tidy and off the floor.

After two years of testing, tweaking, and perfecting, he created what every horse owner had been waiting for — a fold-down blanket rack that's strong, simple, and built to last.

When we discovered his invention, we knew it fit perfectly with what we do at System Equine: making practical, professional-grade products for real barns.

Today, every Rug Rack is proudly manufactured in Canada, combining the original Irish ingenuity with our precision laser-cut steel and powder-coated finish.

From the first sketches in Ireland to our modern facility in Ontario, the Rug Rack stays true to its purpose:

To make every tack room cleaner, smarter, and ready for the next ride.
