Veterinarian Advice:

Ben Chillvers, BVMS, Cert Em (Int), Member of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons,www.priorsfarm.co.uk, writes:

"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."

Kicking stall doors is an annoying, contagious, destructive and often harmful habit that stalled horses develop. It comes from frustration, boredom and attention-seeking, and prior to the invention of QuitKick could not be cured without time consuming and intensive one-on-one training. 

Stall kicking can often lead to foreleg injuries, increasing vet and farrier costs and can in some extreme cases result in severe injury and even euthanasia. 

The average deductible on an equine veterinarian medical insurance policy is approximately $300. Kicking can also damage stall doors and hooves. QuitKick is the only totally humane, totally effective and totally permanent cure for this behavior. It also requires no human interaction with the horse.

QuitKick produces a totally instant and consistent action and response program 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 their stall door, it will also have no impact on their ongoing 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.
