Many horses are wary of steps, gaps, side panels, wires, or noise. If the weighing process is stressful, not only will your data suffer, but it may cause stress to your horses – they may shift, balk, or refuse. 

Common stress triggers

• High steps or ramps that feel like an obstacle 
• Loose wires or side panels that rattle
• Uneven or unstable platforms
• Noisy displays or clunky movement

Equiscale has the following features to reduce any stress

• Low-profile platforms: reduce step-up effort
• No visible wires or panel edges: smoother experience
• Stable base: no jiggling underfoot
• Secure surface – the rubber matting used feels secure underfoot
• Quiet, quick displays: instant readouts without delay

By designing for the horse’s comfort first, the process is quicker, there’s reduced wrestling, and increased safety for the handler.
