Hooves on a clean sealed stall floor
Solutions — Comfort, Hygiene & Labour Savings

Three outcomes that come from the same decision

Comfort, hygiene, and labour are usually treated as separate problems with separate fixes. In a stall they share one cause: what the floor does with weight and moisture.

The Common Cause

Why these three problems travel together

Comfort: hours of standing

Horses spend most of the day on their feet. A hard floor under thin bedding keeps loading the same joints, all day, every day.

What helpsCushioned underpad
Hygiene: moisture in the floor

Absorbent or seamed floors hold urine and organic material. Cleaning the surface does not reach what has soaked below it.

What helpsSealed top cover
Labour: digging instead of lifting

When waste works down into the floor, mucking out becomes excavation, and every barrow is heavier than it needs to be.

What helpsNon-absorptive surface
Bedding: buying absorption

Most bedding in a conventional stall is bought to soak up moisture rather than to make the horse comfortable.

One Decision

Weight and moisture, handled at the same time

A cushioned layer deals with weight — hours of standing on an unforgiving surface. A sealed, non-absorptive cover deals with moisture — which is what drives both hygiene and bedding volume. Address them separately and you get half a result; address them in one system and all three outcomes move.

Cushioning where the horse actually spends its time

Moisture kept on the surface, where cleaning reaches it

Bedding bought for comfort rather than absorption

Anything that benefits a horse has got to be good. We find SoftStall truly benefits horses.
