Having long stood as one of Australia’s great equine industry success stories, supplying over 600 horse walkers to clients worldwide, Irongate was founded in 1995 and operates from a state-of-the-art Adelaide facility. The company has built a reputation for producing bespoke, world-class exercise machines that combine strength, safety, and affordability. Proudly Australian-owned and using only locally produced steel, Irongate has become one of the largest horse exercise machine manufacturers globally. The company’s slogan, “The world’s most affordable, dependable and durable horse exercise machine,” reflects a philosophy that has guided three decades of continuous growth. Each walker is made to order, not flat-packed, ensuring quality at every stage. Former assistant trainer Samantha Barr, now Irongate’s Business Development Manager, notes that clients value the fast turnaround from order to installation, comprehensive product support, and no-obligation quoting – benefits that have cemented the company’s place as a leader in its field. Among its flagship designs, the Evolution III remains the standout. Entering its fifteenth year of production, it is still the most popular model, with a walkway width of 1900 mm and a distinctive doughnut-shaped roof stretching 4700 mm to provide ample cover. The Slim Line model, with a 1200 mm walkway and a 3000 mm roof span, offers similar durability for facilities with tighter space requirements. Both incorporate advanced electronic systems, robust motors and gearboxes, and the reliability that has become synonymous with the brand. Durability extends beyond design. All Irongate walkers are hot-dipped galvanised to withstand all weather conditions, while their high-quality Australian rubber mats provide UV stability and a safe, non-slip surface. From stables to racetracks and breaking-in facilities, Irongate continues to set benchmarks in engineering excellence, reliability, and safety.
