Award-Winning LED Faux Fur Sleeves for Horses: Smart Road Safety That Works With Your Tack
Award-Winning LED Faux Fur Sleeves: Smart Visibility That Works With Your Existing Tack
When riding or leading horses on or near roads, being seen early matters. Drivers don’t just need to spot a rider — they need time to understand what they’re seeing and react safely.
That’s exactly why our award-winning LED Faux Fur Sleeves were designed: to add high-level, Highway Code-aligned visibility to the parts of the horse that road users see first — without changing your tack setup or compromising your horse’s comfort.
Having already sold out twice, these sleeves are now back in stock and ready to help riders stay safer and more visible on the roads.

Designed to Work With Your Existing Tack
One of the biggest advantages of our LED Faux Fur Sleeves is their versatility. They are designed to wrap securely around your existing tack using strong Velcro fastening — no permanent modifications, no specialist fittings.
Which Size Do I Need?
Our sleeves are available in three practical lengths, allowing you to tailor visibility exactly where it’s needed:
🔹 30cm LED Faux Fur Sleeves
Ideal for:
-
Riding & leading
-
Nosebands
-
Cheek pieces
-
Bridle attachments
Perfect for adding high-level visibility near the horse’s head — an area drivers often spot first.
🔹 40cm LED Faux Fur Sleeves
Ideal for:
-
Reins
-
Martingales
-
Long lines
-
Pony breastplates
A popular all-rounder size that works brilliantly for riders who want flexible placement options.
🔹 90cm LED Faux Fur Sleeves
Ideal for:
-
Hunter breastplates
-
Full-size breastplates
-
Compatible with our Breastplate Pro
This longer length provides strong frontal visibility across the chest and shoulders, helping define the size and movement of the horse to approaching traffic.
Why Chest & Shoulder Visibility Matters on the Road
When a vehicle approaches a horse, the shoulders and chest are often the first parts visible, especially at junctions, bends and country lanes.
By placing LED illumination across these areas:
-
Road users recognise a horse earlier
-
Drivers have more time to slow down and pass wide
-
The risk of last-second reactions is reduced
This makes LED sleeves particularly effective when:
-
Approaching junctions
-
Riding on narrow or winding roads
-
Hacking in low light or poor visibility conditions
Highway Code White LED Lights – Clear, Recognisable & Effective
Each LED Faux Fur Sleeve features white LED lights, aligned with Highway Code guidance for forward-facing visibility.
Three Light Settings:
-
Constant (steady) light
-
Soft flash
-
Hard flash
This allows riders to adapt visibility depending on conditions — from steady glow in daylight to high-impact flashing for dusk, dawn or poor weather.
Battery Life:
-
8–10 hours, depending on light setting
Ideal for long hacks, lessons, yard work or multi-horse outings.

Visibility should never come at the cost of comfort.
Our sleeves are made with luxuriously soft rabbit faux fur, making them ideal for:
-
Clipped horses

Horses prone to rubbing
The thick Velcro fastening ensures a secure hold without pinching or pressure points, even during movement.
They’re also:
-
Machine washable
-
Designed for repeated use in real riding conditions
