Stable Shield News

Time to freshen up your stables?

As we are approaching the end of summer (although very much hope we have a few more sunnier days ahead), it is time to think about getting your stables ready for the horses coming back in for Autumn and Winter. There is no better time while we still have the good weather to consider giving your stables or yard a fresh coat of paint. Not only does this make the stables look great but there are also several benefits that ensure you are preventing any possible infections or viruses. 

The Benefits

Stable Shield is non-toxic paint that can be easily applied to most surfaces (including wood, stone, concrete and most plastics). We also advise using it for tack rooms, feed rooms and hay barns. 

Stable Shield paint provides an extra barrier of protection with a dry film that reduces the risk of infection and spread of harmful bacteria. It also reduces the build-up of mould and fungi as there is an additional protection layer when the paint is applied. 

Using Stable Shield anti-bacterial paint is a cost-effective option as the paint is very durable and hard wearing and only needs to be re-applied every three to five years. 

Many infections start from the bacteria build-up on walls and stables. Using the Stable Shield anti-bacterial paint not only takes away any existing bacteria but most importantly prevents any further bacteria coming into the stables. This therefore provides your stables with a healthy environment for your horses. 

Ensuring you have good bio-security protocols in place will considerably reduce the need for antibiotics and drugs. We strongly believe that prevention over cure will help support your horses keeping their environments clean and disease free.
