We are all familiar with the traditional method of stabling horses in individual boxes. To improve the horses’ lot, a small paddock is provided in front of each box and they are also turned out for a few hours in the field each day. If horses could speak, they would tell us that however well meant, this is not nearly enough. Horses want to live with other horses, to eat small amounts of food continuously throughout the day, and to move around freely. Weather conditions don’t really affect them; they just need an area where they can find shelter. If horses had the freedom to do as they wanted, they would immediately migrate to the plains. Since a natural horsekeeping method on the plains isn’t practical today, a system which imitates Nature is the only answer.

The HIT Active Stable® offers everything a horse needs: life in a herd, an individually tailored feeding system, and freedom of movement in the fresh air.

Getting to know the HIT Active Stable system is a moving experience for humans too. Horses that have been kept in traditional individual stabling undergo an amazing transformation. After a very short period of settling in, the horses are more relaxed, calmer, physically fit and noticeably easier to work with. For the stable manager it is the start of a completely new way of working. There is a noticeable reduction of work in the HIT Active Stable and there are no fixed feeding times.
