Concrete is not only treacherous, it's hard on the hooves and bones of your horse.  It can be just as rough on the eyes.  If you care about the health of your animals as well as the aesthetics of your barn, you may want to consider installing rubber tiles.  Rubber tiled floors not only provide safe footing, but they can also better support the physiology of your horse while also creating a beautiful indoor sanctuary.


Choosing Beautiful Safe Barn Floors

Concrete is not only treacherous, it's hard on the hooves and bones of your horse.  It can be just as rough on the eyes.  If you care about the health of your animals as well as the aesthetics of your barn, you may want to consider installing rubber tiles.  Rubber tiled floors not only provide safe footing, but they can also better support the physiology of your horse while also creating a beautiful indoor sanctuary.

 

Horses were not built for standing on concrete all day and they need a floor that will give under the weight of their bodies.  Hard surfaces like tarmacs and cement can cause unnecessary damage to both their hooves and bones.  In order to keep your horse happy and healthy, you'll need a floor that works with their body structure instead of against it.  Rubber floors are both supportive and cushioning, giving your horse the kind of footing designed to help him maintain good bone and hoof health. 

 

But rubber floors need to be stable, too.  Although these amazing floors can provide better circulation for both you and your horse, you need to choose a type of rubber floor that locks into place under any condition.  You and your horse deserve solid footing that won't shift or slide in any weather or under any sudden movements.  Interlocking pavers, like those sold by Innovative Equine Systems, provide solid floors with stable footing that's designed to promote healthy, safe conditions for everyone.

 

Show barns, boarding facilities, and personal sanctuaries need beauty as much as function.  Although rubber floors provide the best in barn safety and health, they're not all created equal.  You'll need to choose ones that serve as a stable footfall as well as a beautiful floor.  The rubber pavers at Innovative Equine Systems are both functional as well as beautiful. These small rubber pavers interlock for stability and resemble old brick floors, giving your barn the elegance of the old world with the safety of the 21st century.  These pavers are so versatile, in fact, that you can use them both inside and outside of your barn, creating a uniform appeal to your entire facility. 

 

Choosing barn floors can be a daunting task and you need to consider the safety of your horse as well as the overall appeal of the floor.  Just like wood floors in your home, rubber tiles can create a warm and elegant atmosphere inside your barn.  Safe, interlocking rubber tiles and pavers from Innovative Equine Systems can help you create the perfect aesthetic appeal without compromising safety.
