Equitan High-Tech Rubber Flooring Earns Gold Medal

Equitan flooring’s state-of-the art rubber flooring system earned a gold medal in their initial foray into the equestrian industry.

Equitan rubber flooring was exceptional in handling the extraordinary amount of traffic and providing safe passage to hundreds of horses at the various crossings, while withstanding the multiple tractors, water trucks, horse trailers, cars and golf carts that pass over them every day at WEF. Equitan rubber flooring also provided a comfortable setting for the horses waiting under the covered area in the International Ring warm-up space.

Equitan multi-purpose flooring is exclusively installed and distributed by IDA Development in North and South America and is the ideal solution for turning hard, uneven areas into comfortable, safe, and attractive surfaces, according to owner Harry Knopp.

“The success of Equitan flooring throughout the WEF venue and in the private barns that it is installed in is the result of years of testing and fine-tuning the product by the manufacturer,” said Knopp. “Our first priority is the comfort and safety of the horses, that’s what drives us. I am honored to be working with such an innovative company that has a long history of success in several sports before bringing it into the equestrian world.”

There are 24 different colors available, which allows creativity for individualizing your space, according to Knopp.

“Equitan has changed the industry for multi-purpose flooring systems and infill with their state-of-the-art rubber-based technology,” said Knopp.

Equitan is a three-layer system that is an ideal solution for converting wash stalls, horse stalls and walkways into comfortable, safe, and attractive surfaces. The base layer creates seamless cushioning for horse’s hooves and joints, while the seal layer provides a barrier to protect against moisture and waste penetration. The revolutionary top coat includes an additive to stop and prevent bacterial growth and is UV-resistant.

By having IDA Development install the flooring in wash bays and stalls, it creates a safe, clean, durable and cushioned surface for horses and grooms where horses may spend as much as 95 percent of their time.
