Upscale your stable flooring for mulitple horse and human health benefits with ComfortStall from Haygain
Now that the days are longer and nights are warmer, horses can be turned out for longer and it is the ideal time to make any changes to your stabling that can be impossible to implement in the winter months. Limited turnout, endless rainy days and deep mud all make winter building and maintenance a write-off, so when spring and summer roll around horse owners are keen to get on with their long to do list. Now is the most popular time of year for people who are installing the ComfortStall from horse health company Haygain. This revolutionary equestrian stable flooring system has been designed to improve both horse and human health in the stabled environment and ensure an enhanced quality of rest for the stabled horse.
ComfortStall’s unique construction
ComfortStall has been designed to eliminate the chance of stable fluids such as urine from working their way underneath the matting. It is a completely sealed one-piece flooring system, with tough plastic anchor strips holding the matting in place and snugly secured so that it is completely impermeable. An IronClad™ top layer can easily withstand the stresses and strains of everyday use and offers 15-20 years of action before you even need to consider replacement. Soft PrecisionFoam™ padding forms the heart of ComfortStall, providing a comfortable yet supportive flooring that encourages horses to rest and lie down multiple times during the night.
ComfortStall’s wide range of benefits
Improved air quality: The elimination of the seams and small gaps normally seen between rubber matting tiles means that with ComfortStall, urine, bacteria and moisture are unable to penetrate beneath the surface. This prevents the build-up of harmful ammonia gases that irritate both equine and human lungs in the stable environment.
Joint health: ComfortStall’s level surface ‘springs’ back with every step the horse takes and offers enhanced support to joints, tendons and ligaments. The horse’s hooves sink into the flooring when they rise, giving them extra grip and security when they stand up.
Eliminates hock sores: The soft padding at the core of ComfortStall ensures the horse can rest lying down without suffering from hock sores as a result.
Thermal insultation: ComfortStall’s unique construction means that the horse is protected from the cold and damp seeping up from underneath the matting when they stand or lie on it. This will help improve the quality of rest for horses suffering from arthritis and ensure that less bedding is needed to keep them warm in the winter.
Support for laminitis sufferers: ComfortStall’s unique orthopaedic construction offers unrivalled support for horses suffering from the symptoms of laminitis, easing the discomfort in their feet and encouraging them to lie down.
Less bedding is required: ComfortStall offers supreme comfort for the horse, meaning that far less bedding is needed to help them get a good quality of rest. Some users have fed back that they use 75% less bedding than they did before they installed ComfortStall.
Demonstrable ROI: Owners need far less bedding when using ComfortStall, helping to recoup the investment of installing it in the first instance within a year. Haygain’s online calculator for ComfortStall means owners with yards of all sizes can see if Comfortstall will offer the ROI that works for them.
