Non-porous material that does not harbour bacteria. Dimensions: 50 \u00d7 50 cm (4 cm deep for an optimal challenge). Weight: 1 kg \u2014 sits firmly on a level surface.<\/p>\n<p>Suitable for all horses, foals and ponies, regardless of size and age.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Use and care<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The activity mat is extremely versatile. It can be filled with anything from chopped hay, lucerne, pellets and muesli to pieces of apple and carrot.<\/p>\n<p>Pro tip: for sensitive or nervous horses, start with &#8220;high-value&#8221; treats clearly visible on top of the mat, then gradually bury the feed deeper in the structure as the horse grows confident with the product.<\/p>\n<p>Cleaning: the non-porous silicone surface makes it more hygienic than plastic or rubber mats.<\/p>\n<p>1. Rinse with water (or run through the dishwasher if needed).<\/p>\n<p>2. Hang up by the hole in the corner.<\/p>\n<p>3. Air dry.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Frequently asked questions:<\/strong> &#8220;Will the horse eat the leaves\/clover flowers\/the mat?&#8221; A common but unfounded concern. The EQUNIQUE Activity Mat is designed for soft-tissue work \u2014 the horse uses its soft lips and mobile muzzle to navigate the structure. As the material is 100% food-safe, there is no risk of toxic residues.<\/p>\n<p>1. Extended eating time: increases saliva production and gives the horse a healthier digestive rhythm.<\/p>\n<p>2. Activation during box rest (a mental lifeline): reduces stress and counteracts stereotypic behaviours through effective environmental enrichment.<\/p>\n<p>3. Calming focus in demanding situations: the mat creates a positive, calming occupation in situations that place high demands on the horse \u2014 a perfect aid for keeping the horse harmonious and occupied during hoof care, veterinary visits or transport.<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"ast-oembed-container \" style=\"height: 100%;\"><iframe title=\"EQUNIQUE Aktiveringsmatta f\u00f6r h\u00e4st\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vGRrEsx1N60?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>Natural foraging \u2014 environmental enrichment in the stable<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The EQUNIQUE Activity Mat helps meet the horse&#8217;s ethological needs in a modern stable environment, contributing to better mental health and reduced stress.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The importance of foraging and digestive health<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In the wild, horses spend 16\u201318 hours a day foraging.
