Trailering, transporting, and even stall confinement can cause anxiety in some horses resulting in a tendency to kick.  Some kickers can be quite violent, and many can result in damage to the trailer or confinement area.  More importantly serious injury to the horse’s leg can result.  A horse kick can generate over 10,000 Newton’s of force, creating a tremendously fierce impact.  This magnitude of impact can result in severe hoof bruises, joint damage, and even fractures of the lower leg or coffin bone.

Miti-Gait’s revolutionary Air Channel Technology is tested and proven to absorb and dissipate energy from the most violent impacts including mine blasts.  For horses prone to wall kicking while confined in a trailer or stall, the Miti-Gait Kick Guard will dissipate the impact energy protecting the trailer and most importantly protecting the horses hoof and leg from serious injury.

It is also important to note that an anxious horse, especially one that kicks during transit, may be affected and agitated by road rumble, potholes, and vibration.  These irritating and stressful sensations may even precipitate a kicking episode.  Be sure to use Miti-GAIT’s Transport Mattress on the trailer stall floor in addition to Miti-Gait Kick Guard to provide the ultimate in both comfort and protection for your horses.

Miti-GAIT Kick Guard can be retrofitted and placed behind existing rubber wall lining, or purchased with the same durable polyurea cover found on our Transport Mattresses and surface mounted.

Racetrack starting gates and stalls can be retrofitted with Miti-GAIT Kick Guard to provide true impact mitigation for those anxious gate/wall kicking equine competitors.

Protect your courageous equine competitor from self-induced kicking trauma by installing Miti-GAIT Kick Guard in any confinement area such as trailers, stocks, stalls, and starting gates.
