Our Story
A thought becomes creation
The idea of the Wackaro® horse care device was born in Zoltán Varró’s head when he wanted to get rid of the long winter hair of his dearest horse, the then 30-year-old Dáma, in the spring of 2019, at the beginning of shedding. Deeds soon followed the idea, and the device's basic concept, name and form were born.
His grandfather introduced Zoltán to the beautiful world of horses at an early age, and his love and affection for horses have accompanied him throughout his life. He graduated as a livestock engineer, worked closely with horses, and later completed several equestrian-themed trainings. He is still an active horse owner.
About the creation
For centuries, only wads made of straw were used to clean horses. Although the tools used by our ancestors for horse care have evolved a lot over time, only manual tools are currently available to perform daily tasks. In the past, grooming had an additional yet equally beneficial effect than cleaning, as it moved and relaxed the horses' muscles after the daily work. Nowadays, horses are mainly kept for sports or hobbies and often suffer from musculoskeletal disorders, stretches, and lesions. In their case, the binding of the muscles significantly affects the quality of their work. The beneficial effect of massage has been proven countless times, but massaging these large animals by hand is also a significant physical load for humans. Therefore, the Wackaro® electric massage and care device was created to make these tasks easier for horse owners.
The WACKARO® device is made in small series production, and we have tested each piece several times. The device is protected by domestic and international trademark, design, and utility model protection, and the National Office for Research, Development, and Innovation recognized its innovative novelty in its expert opinion in December 2019.
