Equestrian Flooring

The European Horse Industry in the European Regions

The European Horse Network has collected figures from different studies to give an estimation of the Horse sector in Europe. Here is an idea of the size of the sector:

• 100 billion euros a year economic impact
• 400 000 full time jobs equivalent provided by the sector
• 6 million or more horses in Europe
• 6 million hectares of permanent grassland given over to horse grazing

A growing sector: the number of horse riders growing by 5% a year

 

These particular products, its well-known brand material, has developed a range of elastic floor and wall covering for the equine sector. These products provide the animals with
a permanently elastic base to stand on. The floor possesses both insulating and slip-resistance properties. The result is
a calming effect which makes horses feel at ease. Injuries, inflammations and stress are reduced. The acoustic insulating properties of floor covering ensures a quiet and tranquil environment. The hooves of unshoed horses will not suffer or exhibit any signs of wear.

       For more than 40 years this floor covering has provided the ideal solution for keeping horses in an economic and clean environment that is suited to their needs.
