Horse solarium

sommerwind-solarium

Because of the many positive effects on the horse, the horse solarium is increasingly used in riding stables – not only in the cold season.

Depending on the way they are kept, horses in stalls often do not always get enough natural sunlight. A targeted, warming and relaxing irradiation in the horse solarium has a demonstrably positive effect on the health and well-being of the horses.

On the one hand, the device is often used for quick drying after washing the horse or after training to prevent colds and to strengthen immunity. Irradiating the horses before training loosens the muscles and promotes a better dissolution of the lactic acid in the tendons. The infrared rays activate the horse’s circulation, which increases its sport performance. Furthermore, horse solarium can treat back problems and improve wound healing.


On behalf of the company Summerwind-Pferdesolarien, we manufacture the GRP housing for a horse solarium in series production. The housing consists of an upper and lower part and is manufactured in a hand laminate process. The shells are equipped with IR radiators and fans by the customer and are fully assembled.

Equestrian at the Pan Arab Games

Fibreglass Equestrian Obstacles

Hands down, ACCENTform was always the focus of attention at the Pan Arab Games in Doha / Qatar

For the Pan Arab Games in Doha/Qatar (6 – 23/12/2011), the most important sporting event in the Arab world, ACCENTform manufactured spectacular horse jumping obstacles.

Our client, Cardinali & Rothenberger Company, provided us with their vision for ingenious obstacles.  We used their designs to create sculptures, displays and components that impressed everyone with its fabulous design and authentically shaped free-form surfaces. Based on the client’s designed draft, we first created 3D imaging, which were then milled, at our machining centers, using the CAM system.

In contrast to conventionally designed obstacle elements, the elements for the Pan Arab Games were milled from special Styrofoam-like lightweight foam. Then they were sealed, smoothed, and laminated with fibreglass. Lightweight, high stability, unique shapes, and low injury risk, due to its compact and robust design; they become a real winner for all who attended.

Obstacles for the Equestrian Events at the 2008 Summer Olympics

The Dragon Boat, Olympic Dragon, Forbidden City Veranda, Prosperity Fans and Round Door obstacles in Luu Shang Garden were our contribution to the 2008 Olympics in Hong Kong.

Work Process:

The angel figure is a replica of the angel from the Exhibition Place’s Prince’s Gates in Toronto. The task was to make a replica of this Angel as a small, weather-resistant, and light angel figure to be mounted on the horse jumping obstacle.

The image research was begun using Google.

  • The freehand drawing, which was scaled to the size of 1.4 m (4.6 feet)
  • Shaping and carving the figure in Polyester foam (Styrofoam)
  • Coated with Fiberglass – this was especially complicated, because many small edges and beads must also be carefully laminated
  • Especially lightweight sculpture

Statue Princes Gates:

The Princes´ Gates, also known as the Princes’ Islands Gates, stand in Toronto (Canada), and it is part of the main entrance to the Canadian National Exhibition. The Prince of Wales and his brother Prince George inaugurated the monument in 1927. The statue is the “Goddess of Winged Victory”, a famous Greek statue, an interpretation of the original Nike of Samothrace.
