What riders are saying about our Biothane products
My old lunge line was always completely covered in sand after training on the wet arena and felt like it stayed wet for two days. The Biothane lunge line can be quickly hosed off and put straight back in the cupboard.

Why Biothane is so practical in the stable
Biothane consists of a durable webbing core with a smooth plastic coating. As a result, the material hardly absorbs any water, remains dimensionally stable even when wet, and can be easily wiped clean after exposure to mud, dust, or sweat. This is a clear advantage, especially for equipment used frequently outdoors, at wash areas, or in daily handling.
When is our Biothane equipment particularly suitable?
Our Biothane products are designed for situations where equipment needs to be robust, uncomplicated, and easy to clean.
- For daily stable and paddock use: Our Biothane halter is suitable for regular leading and handling, even when dust, moisture, or dirt are part of everyday life.
- For walks and groundwork: The Biothane lunge line offers a long, easily controllable connection to the horse and remains pleasantly easy to care for even on damp ground.
- In rain and wet weather: Since the material does not absorb water, it does not become heavy and remains easy to handle even in wet conditions.
- At the wash stall: Splashing water and wet horses are no problem for Biothane. The surface can simply be rinsed or wiped off afterward.
- When equipment needs to be clean again quickly: Stuck-on mud or dirt can be removed much more easily from the smooth surface than from absorbent textile fibers.
The benefits of a high-quality turnout rug
Our Biothane equipment is designed for uncomplicated use. The benefits arise primarily from the material properties and the robust workmanship.
Does not absorb moisture
The coated surface does not soak up liquid like textile fabric, which keeps it lightweight and dimensionally stable even after contact with water.
Quick to clean
Dirt mostly adheres to the surface and can usually be removed with water or a damp cloth.
Resistant to mud and sweat
The material is particularly suitable for situations where equipment regularly comes into contact with moisture, dust, or stable dirt.
Dimensionally stable in daily use
The inner webbing core provides strength, while the coating protects the material from external moisture and dirt.
Consciously Vegan
BioThane contains no animal-derived components, offering a conscious material choice for those who also want to opt for vegan yet robust alternatives for their equestrian equipment.
Resource-efficient in everyday life
BioThane is particularly durable and retains its functional properties even with regular use. Its high level of durability can help extend the life of products and reduce the need for replacements.
Why Biothane hardly absorbs any water
Unlike loosely woven textile materials, Biothane features a sealed coating around its load-bearing core. As a result, water and dirt barely penetrate the fibers and instead remain mostly on the surface. This explains why the material does not stay soaked for long after rain or rinsing and quickly feels dry again.
