ARKequine appointed as Official Distributor for Haygain in Ireland and Northern Ireland
ARKequine, a leader in evidence-based equine health solutions, is proud to announce its appointment as the official distributor of Haygain hay steamers for both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.
This exclusive partnership brings Haygain’s globally trusted range of hay steamers directly to Irish buyers for the first time through ARKequine’s expert-led distribution platform. Known for its commitment to science, quality, and horse-first thinking, ARKequine continues to raise the standard of equine health across Ireland.
Science meets practical stable management
Haygain is the world’s leading hay steaming technology—scientifically proven to eliminate up to 99% of dust, mould, and bacteria in forage. Used by Olympic riders, equine veterinarians, and leading rehabilitation centres, Haygain helps support respiratory health, improve palatability, and reduce hay waste.
“Haygain is not just a tool—it’s a turning point in how we care for horses,” said Kirsty McCann, Manager of ARKequine. “We’re incredibly proud to bring this trusted global brand to Ireland. It fits perfectly with our mission to offer only proven, science-backed solutions to riders, trainers, and horse owners.”
Trusted by professionals, available to all
Whether managing a competition yard, breeding operation, or a single beloved companion, Haygain offers real benefits for any horse. With Ireland’s famously damp climate, forage hygiene is a growing concern – and hay steaming is a powerful, accessible answer.
“In Irish weather, even clean-looking hay can harbour harmful spores and bacteria,” Kirsty McCann added. “This partnership ensures that horses across Ireland can breathe easier and perform at their best.”
Built on shared values
The distribution agreement strengthens the ongoing partnership between ARKequine and FS Animal Health – the parent company of Haygain—who also work together on the Nuveq brand of steamers already available in the Irish market. With this expansion, ARKequine becomes Ireland’s most complete provider of hay steaming technology.
