The Horse Walker That’s Stood the Test of Time

Readers of Black Type Racing will have seen the large Irongate Banner at the top of the News column. Placed in a premium position, it is a pertinent fit for Irongate, one of Australia’s notable equine industry’s success stories across many years, now boasting over 600 horse walkers worldwide. Also well known for manufacturing Colourbond roofing for its walkers, Irongate’s slogan proudly states, ‘The World’s most affordable, dependable and durable horse exercise machine.’ Operating from its state-of-the-art engineering facility in Adelaide, South Australia, where the thoroughbred industry is currently enjoying a boom period, Irongate has been building world class exercise machines since 1995. Using only locally produced steel, Australian-owned Irongate is now one of the largest horse exercise machine businesses globally, having earned a well-deserved reputation for producing bespoke walkers for stables, breaking in facilities and racetracks. All walkers are made to order, and not flat-packed. A former assistant trainer for a leading Adelaide stable, Business Development Manager Samantha Barr enthuses that other key selling points for Irongate include the product support that’s offered, fast turn around from order to delivery and installation, and no-obligation quotes.
