  • -  This is the new Quitkick.

     -  It is an adaptation of the original QuitKick and is designed to stop horses from kicking the interior walls of the stable.
     
    -  It differs from the Quitkick Door Kicker in that the sensors are not part of the unit that sprays the water.
     
    -  With the Total Stall System the sensors are separate and they are attached to the wall where the horse is most prone to kicking.
     
    -  When the horses kicks the wall the sensors immediately send a wireless signal to the main unit and that instantly sprays water at the horse.
     
    -  Like the original QuitKick it is quick and easy to fit and totally painless. It is also 100% effective.
     
    -  There are two different types of Total Stall System available.
     
    -  Your choice will depend on the type of stable/stall you are intending to use the unit on.
     
    -  In both cases the procedure for locating the sensors is the same but the fitting of the main unit is different. 
     
    -  If you have a stable with grills/bars along the front your equipment will come with a backplate which attaches to the bars and allows the water to spray into the stable between the bars.

    -  If you have an enclosed stable where the horse can only see out over the door you will get an attachment which allows the water nozzles to be located in the stable whilst the main unit remains outside the stable, out of reach of the horse. (Please email if you require this option)

     -  As  with the door kicking deterrent the unit will only active if the walls are kicked.

    -  General rubbing or leaning against the wall will not result in the horse getting a spray of water.
     
    - Requires Travel adapter to be purchased locally to allow for UK 3 pin plug to connect to mains power for recharging battery 

    Veterinary Advice

    -  Door kicking has been a persistent problem for many of our patients and their owners.

    The recurrent removal of shoes and associated hoof damage can be an ongoing source of lameness especially in those animals with poor foot conformation to start with. We have also had several horses that have damaged extensor tendon sheaths over the knee, and aggravated or perhaps in some cases caused fetlock, pastern and coffin joint arthritis through persistent door kicking.
     
    I can see the QuitKick will be invaluable for these patients. One of the boxes at our surgery is now fitted with such a device and has done an excellent job in preventing damage to patient and stable alike, especially important in those individuals recuperating after orthopaedic surgery.

    - You need QuitKick Total Stall System 
    When a horse develops the habit of kicking in the stable it can be dangerous, costly and very annoying. Stable kicking can often lead to leg and foot injuries, increasing vet and farrier costs and can in some extreme cases result in severe injury and even euthanasia.
    Kicking can also damage stable walls and stable doors. Prior to the invention of QuitKick this habit could not be cured without time consuming and intensive one-on-one training.

    QuitKick is the only totally humane, totally effective and totally permanent cure for this behaviour. It also requires no human interaction with the horse.
     
    QuitKick products produce a totally consistent response that human interaction cannot replicate. Installing QuitKick not only gives horse owners peace of mind, knowing that their horse will not injure itself or damage the stable, it will also have no impact on their on-going relationship with their horse. For people running yards and stabling facilities, QuitKick will bring peace and quiet to a yard that would otherwise suffer from this contagious, noisy, harmful and annoying habit
    QuitKick has been designed to stop horses kicking their stable doors. It does so 100% effectively and very quickly.

    However, before fitting QuitKick it is important that you have attempted to understand the reasons behind why your horse is kicking.

    A regular routine and exercise are vital for any horse. You may find implementing these two things is enough. Also not rewarding the horse by giving it any 'treats' to stop the kicking will undoubtedly help.

    Boredom can also be a key factor in door kicking. Where possible attempts should be made to offer the horse as much mental stimulation as possible. Information on 'enriching' your horses environment can readily be found on the internet.

    Whilst QuitKick WILL stop your horse kicking the stable door it is very important the welfare of the horse is not overlooked.

    Since QuitKick has been available it has stopped many horses from injuring themselves and in some cases has literally saved their lives. However it is not designed to be a substitute for good caring horsemanship. 

     
    All sorts of methods have been used in the past to try to stop horses from kicking stables and stable doors: squirting water at the horse; shouting at it; throwing things; leaving it's feed until last ...and so on. 
     
    The problem is, all these acts are seen as punishments by the horse and it connects the punishments with people. Therefore, it has not learnt to not kick the stable, only to stop kicking when it sees a person. 
     
    The Quitkick devices are the only effective cure for stable kicking because the horse's actions are immediately met with the same undesirable reaction regardless of any other circumstances. QuitKick is activated only by the horse and the horse soon learns to associate the water jets with nothing other than his own actions. Quitkick systems teach the horse to stop kicking the door and/or stable. Other methods simply make it more difficult. They do not address the horse's desire to kick the door. 
    1. The Quit-Kick device is re-chargeable and will last up to 10 days on a full charge.
    2. Internal water filter to avoid blockages.
    3. Adjustable jet direction.
    4. Quickly fitted to the back plate.
    5. Extra back plates and ‘dummy’ Quit-Kick units available
     

    "Many thanks for your advice and prompt response in delivering the QuitKick."
    "I am delighted to say it has been 100% successful and I would have no hesitation in recommending this product, as I am sure it will be of benefit to many other horses and their owners in the future."
