The QuitKick is a quick and easy to use device that has been designed by professional equestrians to eliminate the annoying and dangerous habit of stall kicking.  When horses kick in their stalls, it can put their hooves and legs in danger of severe damage as well as damage to your stall door!  This nasty habit can also be contagious.  Under normal conditions, horses stop kicking their stall doors only after a couple of days!

2. Internal water filter to avoid blockages.
3. Adjustable jet direction.

Frequently Asked Questions - QuitKick

Will QuitKick work on my horse? QuitKick has been on sale in Britain for the last 18+ months, and so far has proven to be 100% effective.

Will it stop other kicking behavior? Trials have shown that horses trained by QuitKick greatly reduce kicking habits outside of the stall, although QuitKick should only be used on stall doors. The fact is that horses are prone to kicking and QuitKick is not intended to stop any other kicking behavior. A new device, the third QuitKick, will be launched in March 2010, which, using the same principles, will stop kicking on the back and side walls of stalls.

Can I move QuitKick on to another horse once the first horse has stopped kicking? The horse will quickly learn to associate the negative result with two things – kicking the door and the presence of the device. Horses typically will start kicking again if the device is removed, and we would recommend that it is not removed even after the behavior stops. However, for stables that have several problem horses, we recommend the use of dummy kits, available on our order page.

Does QuitKick work on any stall door? Yes. There are two versions of QuitKick - the Dutch / Yoke version, which is used on any door that allows the horse to look over, and the Mesh / Barred version, which works on any full height door that does not allow the horse to look over. The difference is twofold - they are fitted to the doors differently and the water jets fire in different directions. Both work on exactly the same principle and both are very simple to install.

 Why is the device not attached directly to the door? The battery that powers QuitKick will last well beyond the point at which the behavior is corrected. However, it will require recharging even if not used for several days as the electronics continue to draw power from the battery. Clearly, we do not recommend that owners run cables through stables in order to recharge the battery, therefore the unit is attached to a back plate which is in turn attached to the door, making it easily removed for recharging in a safe environment.
Will using QuitKick result in an aggressive response from my horse? Rather than rear up in its stall, potentially harming the horse, when QuitKick is activated the horse will simply back away from the door. And although QuitKick is a negative enforcement device, the horse will not associate the negativity with a human being. The horse’s behavior and temperament in human contact situations is totally unaffected.

Will QuitKick interfere with my regular stall chores? QuitKick can be turned off, allowing you to go about your daily stall routine without setting the device off. The device is activated by a shock sensor rather than a movement sensor, so will not go off when the door is opened – provided it is opened gently.
