FOR EVERY BIT OF YOUR BARN PROJECT

Equine Comfort is a family owned and operated company based in Bethel, Connecticut. In business for over twenty years, Equine Comfort carries the widest selection of premium quality rubber flooring products, including stall mats, interlocking mats, comfort stall, pavers, tiles, wash stall mats, and arena footing. Not only do all of Equine Comfort products carry a ten year warranty, they guarantee their installation for the life of the product. The team at Equine Comfort will personally come out to fix any issues that may arise with their mats.

Brothers David and Peter Mariano took over the company from their parents a few years ago, and have brought their wealth of knowledge pertaining to carpentry and green building to Equine Comfort. They have full refurbished barns throughout historic Millbrook and Old Salem, New York, as well as in many Connecticut towns. Some satisfied clients of Equine Comfort include Old Salem Farm, Red Gate, Double H Farm, and Red Horse Stables.

Quality rubber flooring is a necessary investment for any barn owner. Not only does the flooring protect and support the horse’s legs, it also provides comfort and reduces fatigue. Safety is another big benefit of rubber matting – providing wet and dry traction to prevent slipping can be critical in keeping our equine partners safe and sound. Stall mats are an excellent resource in that they reduce the time spent mucking and shavings consumed considerably.

If you are interested in green remodeling, or in saving money on your electric bills, Equine Comfort should be your first call. Both David and Peter are LEED Certified green builders. They have brought this expertise to their barn remodeling by integrating projects that focus on rainwater collection, O2 composting, energy and water conservation, energy alternatives, and solar energy.

Colleen Colbert, a loyal Equine Comfort customer, took some time to speak with me regarding the influential work the Mariano’s are doing to protect our environment. In addition to the barn redesign, matting installation, and paddock excavation to alleviate flooding issues, Colleen is also having them install a three bin system for her manure composting. The Quinnipiack Valley Health Department, in an effort to protect the water supply from bacteria, viruses, and nitrates, has mandated how manure must be stored. Residents have a choice between using a dumpster, covering the manure pile with a tarp to prevent rain or melting snow from transporting the pathogens, or using a unique three bin system that can be built by Equine Comfort.

Equine Comfort also specializes in remodeling antique New England barns, paying special attention to detail work when replicating old Dutch doors and windows to keep the same charm of the original pieces. Equine Comfort is also a great resource for stable products, including hardware, grillwork, and wash stall coverings.

Equine Comfort is available for barn restorations and green projects throughout New England and the Tri-State area, and quality flooring is available for the entire East Coast. They are truly your one stop resource for any and all barn
projects. With their exemplary reputation for personal attention and customer service, the decision to use Equine Comfort will be one you can rest easy with, allowing you to spend more time focusing on why you have that barn in the first place – your horses!
