With lots of rain comes muddy pastures and muddy horses. There are several months throughout the year when mud can become a stressful problem. In the spring months, rain can fall for long periods of time causing a monsoon of mud puddles. In the winter months when snow falls and then finally melts the ground becomes a muddy mayhem. Stable-ity GridsThis often results in a number of trips made by the farrier to replace a pulled shoe. Some possible ways to help manage a muddy mess are shavings, gravel, ground cloth, etc. However, these are not always a permanent solution. Classic Equine Equipment offers a stable-ity grid system that can be installed in any place that needs to stay level and mud-free. The stable-ity grid offers a permanent mud management solution. 

Pastures

Install the Stable-ity grid in the muddiest area of your horse pasture. Installing the grid by your horse’s water trough or feeding area can help reduce excess mud. Installing the grid in a heavily trafficked gate area can significantly reduce mud and lead to improved footing.

Barn Aisles

Tired of ruts in your barn aisle? Installing the Stable-ity grid can help eliminate those reoccurring ruts. This can save time and expense of heavy maintenance on your barn aisle.

Stalls

Do you have horses who paw or dig into the base of their stalls? Determined horses can create holes on an almost daily basis, mixing the stall base into the shavings and making a mess that’s difficult to deal with. Stable-ity grids can put an end to this issue, creating a definite base to your stall that horses can’t paw through.

Other places the grid is often used are paddock entrances, sacrifice turnouts, around water troughs, run-in sheds, stalls, barn aisles, and in place of French drains.
