Equus work with environmentally friendly, evaporative cooling technology and filtration systems to keep stables beautifully cool and provide a constant supply of clean filtered air, even in the hottest weather.
Stable block designs have undoubtedly developed in the last decade, we’ve come a long way from wooden boxes with little ventilation, however, whatever the material Stables can still retain heat.
Little airflow within stables can increase the risk of equine respiratory diseases such as strangles, equine influenza, equine asthma and herpesviruses. Contributors like dust, pollen and moulds from bedding, feed and even pollutants from air outside can all congest an enclosed environment despite windows and doors.
The process of rest and recovery is vastly important to a horse in work for elite performance. The passive recovery process should therefore occur in sufficient temperatures and air quality conditions.
“Olympia 2009 teamed up with Equus Environmental to improve air quality.
They used our evaporative cooling and filtration system to provide a constant flow of fresh, clean, filtered air.”
“After lameness, respiratory disease is the next major cause of illness, disease, poor performance and economic loss in the racing and sport horse industry. Improving stable air quality and comfort is absolutely vital to horse health.”
“Even though dust levels in a barn may seem insignificant, research has shown that dust levels in the breathing zone (i.e. around the nose) of a horse eating hay can be as much as thirty to forty times higher than in the rest of the stall.”
