The Equimats Story: Enhancing Equine Comfort and Health

Our Story: The Journey of Equimats

Every great product begins with a passion and a purpose. For us, the story of Equimats is not just about creating a unique bedding solution for horses; it’s about a lifelong journey as animal lovers dedicated to providing the best for our four-legged friends.

The Inspiration

Our journey started more than 30 years ago in England. As a fourth-generation dairy farmer and a devoted horse enthusiast, I, John, witnessed firsthand the transformative impact of this innovative farming solution. Originally, Equimats were designed to enhance the health of dairy cows, providing a comfortable and supportive surface that proved invaluable. It was clear that this remarkable product had potential beyond cattle; it was time to take it to the world of horses.

Jill, a talented elite dressage competitor sponsored by an English company, shared my enthusiasm for animal welfare. We knew together we could make a difference for horses.

Making the Move

Eventually, we decided to make the move to Canada, bringing along not just ourselves but also five elite horses. As we settled into our new home, we realized there was nothing like Equimats available in North America. Recognizing the opportunity, we decided to purchase the patent, slightly improving the design while keeping the original composition that we knew and loved.

Bringing Equimats to North America

With determination and passion, we became the exclusive distributors of Equimats in North America. It wasn’t just about selling a product; it was about educating horse owners on the unparalleled comfort and health benefits for their beloved animals. Over the past 25 years, we have traveled across the continent, sharing our experiences and showcasing how Equimats can revolutionize the horsekeeping industry.

The beauty of Equimats lies in their simplicity and effectiveness. Our goal has always been to empower horse owners to provide their animals with the best possible environment, enhancing their quality of life.

A Legacy of Care

Throughout our journey, we have always prioritized the well-being of horses. Our personal experiences have shown us that Equimats are not just another product; they are an integral part of creating a comfortable and safe stall environment. The feedback we’ve received from horse owners is incredibly rewarding—stories of health improvements and horses thriving on our mats fuel our commitment to this mission.

The Future of Equimats

Today, Equimats is synonymous with quality and reliability. We’ve maintained the original formulation while making subtle tweaks for better manageability. Each mat is designed with unique features, such as an interlocking system and specialized drainage support on the underside, while UV protection ensures they withstand the elements.

As we look towards the future, our passion remains unwavering. We continue to strive to reach more horse owners and educate barn builders about the incredible benefits Equimats can bring. The bond between horse and owner is special, and we want to enhance that connection with our products.
