MUD IS BAD
- Constant exposure to mud causes skin and hoof conditions including scratches and white line disease
- Muddy paddocks can cause serious injury from lack of traction - pasture accidents can be career ending
- Paddocks are difficult to maintain when muddy
- Adequate manure management is impossible
- Mud reduces the perceived value of your farm
- Vehicle access is limited by deep mud
WE UNDERSTAND WHAT IT’S LIKE TO DO BATTLE WITH MUD!
Our founders are life-long horse people with a boarding and training facility in the Pacific Northwest housing 40 horses.
As a product design engineer and an equine husbandry expert, they put their heads together to develop a solution that would be robust enough to withstand the rigors of decades of horse use. They knew that it had to be designed specifially for this purpose - a light-duty solution was not an option!
With over a decade in “the field” (hehe!), tens of thousands of Lighthoof panels have proven themselves as lifesavers to horses and horse owners in different climates all over the world!
