What is Stable Shield
Anti-Bacterial Paint

Stable Shield is a water-based non-toxic paint that can be applied to stables to assist in creating a bio-secure environment for your horse.

Through technological advances in the specific formulations, the antibacterial paint lasts up to three to five years depending on which product you choose and on the environment. We would advise the paint is then re-applied to ensure the extra barrier in your stable / yard once more.

Easy to apply on walls and ceilings, the paint is adhesive to most surfaces including wood and plastic. Its durable and hardwearing nature is ideal for all yards including, newly built yards, stables, tack rooms, feed rooms and hay barns.

Stable Shield products have been tested by independent laboratories including TNO, the largest research institute in the Netherlands and complies to ISO 22196:201. It is also fully tested by the Irish Equine Centre and approved by Equine Health Ireland.

The coatings were initially designed to meet the high biosecurity standards required in hospitals and the food and beverage industry. After substantial research and development to increase the durability of the paint in order to perform in harsher environments, Stable Shield was born.

There has never been a better time to start using Stable Shield antibacterial paint to protect and safeguard your yard. Stable Shield provides an extra barrier, hence reducing the risk of your horse getting ill. The range of antibiotics available is slowly decreasing, as pathogens are slowly building up a resistance and immunity, meaning they are getting harder and harder to treat. At Stable Shield we have a passion for prevention over cure and we believe we all have a sense of duty to horse well being. This can be achieved by removing the emphasis on drugs and antibiotics and focusing on protocol and procedures that considerably reduce the spread of harmful bacteria and pathogens within the equine world. We believe this can be achieved by correct bio-security processes and making sure every measure is taken to keep stable environments clean and disease free.

With diseases easily spread, we should be doing everything we can to minimise the risk to our yards and our horses. By adopting a regular cleaning regime combined with Stable Shield antibacterial paint, you can relax in the knowledge your yard is better protected. To ensure Stable Shield works to its maximum effectiveness, we recommend that your stable is correctly ventilated and cleaned regularly, dirt cleaned from the stable walls, power washed at least every 6 months, then disinfected monthly.

We offer Stable Shield Antibacterial paint and the premium product, Stable Shield PLUS (which comes with its mixer). We also recommend you use Stable Shield Base Coat in order to prepare the surface before applying.

While the Stable Shield Antibacterial will last up to 3 years, Stable Shield Plus is a harder wearing, 2-pack coating that will last up to 5 years. Both are cost effective when painting with a standard paint on an annual basis, and you have the additional antibacterial protection.

These come in 2.5l and 5l tins. A 2.5l tin will cover up to 25 square meters or a 12ft x 12ft stable. 5 litres will paint 2+ 12ft x 12ft stables. (This is a broad approximation and depends on the porosity and condition of the stables). The paint colours come in black and white. We recommend you reapply the Stable Shield Antibacterial every 3 years if the coating remains in a good condition.

With the horses travelling so frequently, biosecurity of their home environment is essential in order to prevent the spread of disease and ensure they are able to perform at their best. Whilst the horses are out on their holidays is the perfect time to wash, disinfect and paint the yard. I use the disinfectant and Antibacterial Stable Paint provided by Stable Shield.

I regularly use the disinfectant at home in the stables, wash bays and drains since it’s non corrosive, alcohol-free and kills 99.999% of bacteria. Disinfecting the lorry is now part of our post-competition routine, as an extra barrier of defence against common equine infections such as Ringworm, Strangles and EHV.

Painting a barn of 20 stables is no ‘quick’ task, however it is made a much easier when you know it is going to last. Stable Shield Anti-Bacterial paint is always our choice. It applies really well to all sorts of stone surfaces, dries quickly and leaves a lovely gloss finish.

With so many horses that are normally travelling around the country and beyond on a weekly basis, an Anti-Bacterial paint is perfect for the environment in which they spend a lot of their downtime in. Water resistance means that it is easy to maintain a perfect finish on the yard, a simple wipe down of stable walls from time to time to get rid of any dirt and it looks freshly painted once again!

It was great to find a disinfectant which targets equine-specific bacteria whilst also being safe to use at shows, on the lorry and equipment as well as in the stables.

The horses travel regularly, so it’s important to make sure they don’t pick up or bring home any nasties from their travels. Since adding Stable Shield Disinfectant into our routine, I’ve noticed a marked decrease in bugs and skin conditions such as Ringworm.

I have been using Stable Shield for one year now and I’m thrilled with their products. The disinfectant is very easy to use and smells great. The paint too is a superb quality and very easy to maintain.
After six months, my stables still look brand new since being painted. The Stable Shield Plus has left a wonderful shine and it’s a relief to know it is helping protect my stables from harmful bacteria.

Since starting to use stable Stable Shield we have noticed so many benefits on our yard. We can be confident that our horses are kept safe and hygienic, spraying stables down before new horses move in and the same with our horse boxes too.

We use it regularly at stay away shows to ensure that the stables our horses will be staying in are clean and ready for them and even use it when washing saddle pads and bits for the added protection. Stable Shield protects against so much and is the leading antibacterial product on the equestrian market. Thank you for keeping our horses safe and healthy Stable Shield.

Biosecurity in the yard has become a very topical subject in recent times. I have used the Stable Shield Disinfectant for a huge variety of surfaces, including the lorry, stables (both at home and when travelling to stay away shows) and all buckets and stable equipment. It’s the perfect choice for me as it is targeted towards equine specific pathogens yet also is safe to use around the horses. It is reassuring to know that we are preventing the spread of any potential bacteria and diseases and keeping the horses healthy so they can perform at their best.

After moving into a new yard this year it was clear the barn needed a bit of a makeover. We had a lot of pressure washing, disinfecting and painting to do! Stable Shield paint has provided the perfect finish to upgrade the walls on the yard, in the stables and wash bays. With it’s non-toxic anti-bacterial properties and waterproof seal it is perfect for the horses, to maintain cleanliness and good hygiene on the yard. The hard-wearing high gloss finish makes the yard look super smart and bright too and has provided the perfect ‘glow-up’ to our yard!

Good biosecurity is so important, especially at the moment. We’ve been using Stable Shield Disinfectant at home for everything: the tack, stables, boots, rugs and saddle pads – it’s non-corrosive, so it’s safe and doesn’t destroy everything!

Now we can travel to compete and train again, we’re making sure to disinfect the lorry with the sprayer when we get home too, to make sure we don’t bring any diseases back with us.

I have been extremely impressed with the results of the Stable Shield disinfectant. At a time when I can’t ride due to breaking my neck and back earlier in the year, it has given the perfect opportunity for the whole yard to have a thorough deep clean!

Biosecurity protocols are essential and with Stable Shield it gives you the confidence that you have protected against equine specific pathogens.

The paint has been amazing as we were able to start the new stable block off with it. Jerry has always suffered through the winter in the old block due to the mould. Since having our new stables painted with Stable Shield, there has been a remarkable difference in his breathing.

They are on a mix of wood pellets and chopped straw, so we take the wet out weekly. After which I use the disinfectant before putting fresh bedding down. It keeps the stables smelling fresh and I know that the horses are safe from any bacteria.

We have recently had our yard painted with Stable Shield Anti-bacterial paint and have been delighted with the results. We are a busy eventing yard and using Stable Shield Anti-bacterial paint which lasts well and can applied to a variety of surfaces was a perfect solution for us. The stables still look fresh and I am confident that we are protecting our horses from harmful bacteria.
