SoftWall
Concussion-absorbing wall panels with a waterproof cover, built to soften impact from kicking, casting, and recovery movement inside the stall.
Stalls with kicking horses, anti-casting requirements, foaling stalls, recovery and rehabilitation boxes, and any stall where wall impact is a known risk.
Bare stall walls turn ordinary movement into injury risk
A horse that kicks, rolls, gets cast, or comes out of sedation meets a hard, unforgiving surface. Wood splinters, block and steel don't give, and repeated contact damages both the horse and the structure.
SoftWall places a concussion-absorbing layer between the horse and the wall, and a waterproof cover that can be wiped down between occupants.

Compatible with common wood, block, and steel construction
Impact and force-reduction claims are published only where supporting test documentation exists. Specific figures are marked TBD until that documentation is confirmed.
How impact performance is described
SoftWall panels are built to absorb and spread the force of a strike rather than transmit it straight through to the structure behind. The waterproof cover is sealed so the core stays dry and cleanable.
Force-reduction figures, panel test methods, and any certification references will be published here once current documentation is confirmed.
How much of the wall to cover
Covers the height most commonly struck by kicking, and the zone a cast horse contacts. The most frequent specification.
Additional coverage for horses that strike higher, or for recovery boxes where movement is unpredictable.
Continuous coverage across all walls and corners for recovery and high-risk stalls. Corner detailing is planned to leave no catch points.

Fastened to your existing stall structure
Panels are fastened to the existing wall framing or surface. Because gaps and corners are where a hoof or leg can catch, panel layout is planned to close them — corner treatment and edge fastening are reviewed before installation.

Common questions about SoftWall
It depends on the reason for padding. Kicking protection, anti-casting, and recovery boxes each suggest different coverage heights — a specialist will recommend based on your stalls.
SoftWall is fastened to existing framing or wall surfaces. Compatibility is confirmed during review — wood, block, and steel constructions are all common.
The waterproof cover is designed to be wiped down, which is why it is used in recovery and foaling stalls where cleaning between occupants matters.
Force-reduction and test-method documentation will be published here once current documentation is confirmed. We do not publish figures we cannot support.
Yes. Many facilities pad only the stalls used for recovery, foaling, or a specific horse.
