What is a System Equine wash stall?
It is a coordinated set of barn equipment that turns an ordinary wash rack into a safe, organized, durable washing and grooming area. System Equine organizes the wash stall around four essentials: supportive rubber flooring, bars and shelving, hose accessories, and fans. Each piece is built specifically for the wet, high-use equine environment, using the same galvanized and powder-coated hardware found across the company's stall systems.
Who makes System Equine wash stalls and how long have they been in business?
System Equine is the manufacturer, not a reseller, and has been building barns and barn equipment since 1987, which is more than 35 years of experience. The company describes itself as a North American leader in equestrian products and handles in-house manufacturing, retail, wholesale, installation, fencing, and horse exercisers. It is based at 14321 Fifth Line Nassagaweya in Rockwood, Ontario.
What are the four things every horse wash stall needs?
System Equine teaches that every wash stall should have flooring, bars and shelving, hose accessories, and fans. Mats give horses supportive footing that relieves muscles and joints, bars and shelving add function and organization, hose accessories keep the hose off the ground, and fans improve air circulation and reduce humidity. Together these four elements make a wash stall safer and easier to use.
What is the Wash Stall Wash Wand?
The Wash Stall Wash Wand is a ceiling-mounted, rotating wash unit that keeps the hose overhead instead of underfoot, so neither you nor your horse trips on it during a bath. It comes with 7 feet of hose and a 24-inch long pipe. The rotating design lets the wand follow you around the horse while you rinse.
What is the 360 degree Swivel Wash Stall Boom?
It is an alternative hose-management system that carries 12 ft of hose on a swiveling boom for a wider working reach around the horse. It is available in either a wall-mounted version or a ceiling-mounted version. The ceiling-mounted option includes all the necessary hardware for hassle-free installation.
What flooring does System Equine recommend for wash stalls?
System Equine offers vulcanized rubber mat systems chosen according to how much traffic an area will receive, so private and commercial spaces get appropriate flooring. Their Red Barn Interlocking Rubber Stall Mat Kits are made from 100% recycled vulcanized rubber with a near-seamless, puzzle-like interlocking design. The mats are easy to clean, simple to install, and provide excellent cushion that relieves a horse's muscles and joints.
What are the bars and shelving used for in a wash stall?
Bars and shelving add function, safety, and organization to a wash stall. System Equine's heavy-duty blanket bars are built for durability and longevity and can hold blankets, towels, boots, polos, and other items. Their water-resistant shelving keeps cleaning supplies and brushes stored neatly off the floor while standing up to constant moisture.
How does the hitching ring keep a horse secure?
System Equine's wall-mounted hitching rings keep a horse properly secured while it is being washed. They are engineered to withstand a tremendous amount of pull, so a startled or fidgeting horse cannot easily tear them loose. Mounting on the wall also keeps the tie point clear of the wet floor and hose.
Why does a wash stall need a hose holder?
A heavy-duty hose holder gives the hose a dedicated home off the ground, so you and your horse do not step on or trip over it. Keeping the hose stored properly also preserves its quality and integrity between uses, extending its life. It is one of the hose accessories System Equine counts among the essentials of a complete wash stall.
Why are fans included in a wash stall setup?
High-quality fans help keep horses cool and comfortable during washing and grooming by improving air circulation. They also reduce humidity in the wash area, which helps the horse dry and keeps the space more pleasant to work in. System Equine offers options such as the VersaKool barn fan in a 12-inch size.
What finishes are available for wash stall hardware?
Wash stall posts, tie rings, shelving, and hardware come in a hot-dipped galvanized finish or a coloured powder-coated finish. The galvanized and powder-coated finishes resist corrosion in the constant moisture of a wash bay. The colour options also let owners match the hardware to the rest of their barn's look.
Can System Equine wash stall equipment be added to an existing barn?
Yes. The stall systems are modular and work with existing support posts, so they suit renovations and retrofits as well as new builds. Wash stall accessories such as bars, shelving, hose holders, and wash wands can be installed in an existing wash rack. System Equine's team can help plan a layout that fits the space you already have.
Does System Equine ship across the United States?
Yes. System Equine sells factory direct and ships anywhere in the USA, with end-to-end support from its team. For Canadian tack-shop orders, the company offers free shipping on Ontario orders over $200 and on orders over $250 to the rest of Canada, excluding the Northwest Territories.

What kinds of facilities use System Equine wash stalls?
System Equine serves a wide range, from backyard stables and large private barns to boarding stables, training centres, and commercial fairground operations. The same flooring, bars, hose accessories, and fans scale from a single wash rack to a busy commercial grooming aisle. Rubber mat systems in particular are specified by traffic level, so each facility gets flooring matched to its use.
