revolutionary flooring system with 10 horse health benefits

Posted: 6th February 2018 | Back to news feed

Leading International equine product manufacturers Haygain have expanded their range, launching an entirely unique, revolutionary flooring system that goes above and beyond anything on the market.

 

ComfortStall® combines three key veterinarian-recommended compounds to offer comfort and health benefits unlike any other, beneficial to both horse and owner. Orthopaedic Precision Foam™ padding possesses anti-fatigue properties and gives a cushioning to the stable of unparalleled quality. Traditional rubber mats are typically only 3% softer than concrete whereas the comfort of ComfortStall® is witnessed with the momentary hoof print which is left as the horse walks across the surface, highlighting the cushioning and energy return of this exceptional product. The Proprietary IronClad™ TopCover is the protective armour which offers unmatched structural stability and durability. It is pliable enough to deliver the therapeutic benefits of the padding it protects while being tough enough to outlast everything but concrete. Finally, the HDPE Anchor Strips complete the design, providing an impermeable seal, preventing the build of any ammonia and harmful bacteria present in many stables. 

ComfortStall® has been approved by the Cornell University Veterinary Hospital in the United States where it has been in use since 2007. Each year, 1,000 horses recover from surgery on the ComfortStall® flooring system, which offers 10 exceptional benefits. 

 

1. Improves joint health. Improved movement, flexibility and hoof quality has been witnessed through the enhanced support to joints, tendons and ligaments from the therapeutic properties of the level surface and ‘spring’ with every step that ComfortStall® provides. 
2. Improves respiratory health. Stable air quality is greatly improved thanks to the sealed impermeable one-piece IronClad™ TopCover design which prevents the build up of urea, bacteria and the resulting harmful ammonia which can be extremely damaging to the horse’s respiratory system. 
3. Reduces or eliminates hock sores. Thanks to the non-slip, non-abrasive surface horses can get up without scuffing their hocks. Their body weight sinks their hooves down into the padded floor, giving them the grip to get up safely and securely. 
4. Improves quality of rest. Horses sleeping on the naked ComfortStall® system have been notably sleeping for extended periods, ensuring they get the all important REM sleep, something that has been recognised as key to performance and trainability in the horse. 
5. Relieves horses suffering from sore feet and symptoms of laminitis. The padded flooring provides a comfortable and supportive cushion to stand on, encouraging them to lie down more regularly and take the weight off their feet. 
6. Reduces the need for stable bandaging. The ‘spring’ in the cushioned flooring massages the horse’s frogs which stimulates blood flow. 
7. Provides recumbent whole-body support. The padded flooring system provides the needed ‘give’ under the hip, shoulder and pastern bones when the horse lies down for superior comfort. 
8. Provides thermal insulation. ComfortStall® insulates from the cold and the damp of concrete and earth-packed floors. 
9. Requires less bedding. ComfortStall® significantly reduces the quantity of bedding required - any used is only required for the absorption of body waste. 
10. Increases return on investment. Less bedding means less labour, a smaller manure pile and no flooring maintenance, adding up to a significant reduction in horse care costs and a return on investment of less than a year. 

 When others offer up to 2 years warranty, ComfortStall® comes with 6 years and a life expectancy of at least 15-20 years. An investment worth making that will transform your horse care.

ComfortStall® - the structural and orthopeadic flooring system for healthier horses from healthier stables. That’s pure Horse Sense. 

 ComfortStall® launched in the UK at the BETA Trade Fair in January. For more information, please do visit https://haygain.co.uk.
