The 2012 World Dressage Masters in Palm Beach is here! The World Dressage Masters will showcase some of the finest horses in the world in this yearly event that brings equestrian lovers together in admiration of these beautiful animals.

At the event, Miti-Gait will have its own booth throughout the course of the weekend.

The Miti-Gait Transport mattress is designed to reduce stress from violent impacts and vibration during transport. The floor mattress provides comfort and protection for the animal during most strenuous transport conditions.

The anti-impact, anti-vibration properties of each Miti-GAIT mattress are attributed to what’s at its core – an extensively engineered cushioning system which utilizes advanced Air Control Technology to dissipate energy from impacts and vibrations. This patented cushioning system is known as MitiGator Technology™. Researched and developed by SEA Systems Inc. and tested by the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, and independent laboratories, Mitigator™ has been validated as a revolutionary technology that absorbs and dissipates energy from vibration, impacts, and even blasts! The shock and vibration dampening features of the MitiGator™ reduces acceleration by over 90% in drop/impact tests, and attenuates up to 75% of whole body vibration. Developed through a collaborative effort of engineers and equine veterinarians to address the problem of equine transport fatigue, the Miti-GAIT Equine Transport Mattress is now available to mitigate the harmful forces of road impacts, rumble, and vibration and allow your horse to be transported and arrive fresh, focused, relaxed, and ready to win. Visit www.mitigait.com to learn more about the most technologically advanced cushion system available.

The 2012 World Dressage event will be from held from January 26th-29th. If you have any questions regarding the MitiGAIT Transport systems or would like to place an order, please visit the contact page at www.mitigait.com

Kuato Star shows off his fresh legs and athleticism in this incredible steeplechase jump.  This is only one in a series of jumps he rocketed over, then pulled away to win the Betfair Chase at Haydock.

Perfect conditioning, precise horsemanship, and detailed care are paramount in developing a winning equine competitor.  To protect your equine athlete, and to protect years of training and preparation for competition, be sure to provide Miti-GAIT Equine Transport Mattress to your box, trailer, or transporter. Arriving fresh for an event is important – visit www.mitigait.com to see the state-of-the-art in reducing transport fatigue.

Miti-GAIT Equine Transport Protection

Miti-GAIT Animal Health introduces its new line of transport mattress systems designed to protect horses from the constant forces of road impacts, rumble, and vibration – damaging forces which transmit through the trailer floor and into the equine passenger during transport.

Towed trailers and equine transporters have been used for decades to move horses to racing competitions, performance events, endurance rides, and breeding stables.  Equine professionals, for just as long, have been concerned over the exhausting effect that trailering has on the horse.  The jarring forces transmitted through the trailer floor from typical highway transit create a chaotic atmosphere in the trailer that is cumbersome, uncomfortable, and at times even brutal to the most responsive and sensitive livestock species – the horse. During transport these constant forces cause the horse to respond physically and mentally in an attempt to avoid or counteract these irritating stimuli. Reduced athletic performance, decreased reproduction, increased rate of disease, and altered biochemical parameters have all been linked to transport stress in the horse.

Over the years, attempts have been made to provide as much comfort as possible to transported horses in hopes of minimizing stress and associated fatigue. Extra bedding (shavings), foam padding for dividers and walls, and even climate controls have been added to the horse compartment to improve comfort.  While trailer designs have changed over the years, little progress has been made to the one part of the horse compartment that the horse is always in contact with – the trailer floor.

That is until now:  The Miti-GAIT Transport Mattress is the first true anti-impact, anti-vibration floor system designed for horse trailers and equine transporters.  The Miti-GAIT horse mat is built around an extensively engineered cushioning system called MitiGator™ which utilizes advanced Air Channel Technology to dissipate energy from impacts and vibrations.  The Miti-GAIT Equine Transport Mattress system will alleviate the problems associated with road impacts and whole body vibration, and will set a new standard of care for horse transport.

Does a wooden, aluminum, or steel trailer floor covered with rubber or foam mats seem adequate for the sensitive horse passenger, especially when considering that these materials have been shown to be ineffective at reducing vibration?  Visit www.mitigait.com  to learn more about equine transport fatigue, its effects on equine performance, and how the Miti-GAIT Equine Transport Mattress will revolutionize horse transport.
