Enhanced Comfort
One of the most important benefits of rubber stable matting is that they provide a cushioned surface that significantly improves comfort for your horse in their stable. By reducing the pressure on joints and hooves, rubber mats help alleviate the discomfort caused by standing on hard surfaces and helps to prevent painful conditions such as arthritis and hoof issues.
Injury Prevention and Safety
Rubber mats are slip-resistant, reducing the chances of horses slipping or falling within the stable. Our 17mm Bubbletop and 19mm Windsor Mats both offer a superb level of grip, making them a great choice for stables that are home to horses that need a bit of help getting up and down, or foaling boxes.
If your horse is prone to kicking, rubbing or getting cast, we also supply a number of options to further enhance the safety of their stable. Check out our Stable Wall Matting page for our full range of products including EVA Foam matting and solid rubber Anti-Cast Strips.
Cost Effective and Durable
Our Solid Rubber Stable Mats are incredibly durable and in most instances, will last for over 10 years. They are resistant to everyday wear and tear, making them a cost-effective investment in the long term. We are always happy to advise any customer prior to making a purchase to make sure they are ordering the best product for their need that will offer the most longevity and will advise against any product that would not be a suitable option.
Reduce Mucking Out Time & Nasty Smells
Being water resistant, our mats do not absorb water and are much easier to clean than concrete or alternative stable floors. The non-porous nature of rubber mats means the bedding and waste can be cleared away without sticking to the surface, significantly reducing your mucking out time. This also helps to prevent the build up of dirt, urine and bacteria and providing a more hygienic environment for your horse. For the easiest styles of mat to keep clean, check out our 17mm Amoebic and 17mm Cobbletop mats.
Noise Reduction and Thermal Insulation
Rubber mats can help reduce noise levels within the stable. The soft, dense material absorbs the sound making the stable quieter and less stressful for nervy horses, especially during busy times. They also offer fantastic thermal insulation, which can help to regulate the stable temperature. Providing a warm surface in the winter and cooler one in the summer, ensuring the stable is comfortable for your horse year round.
Reduced Bedding Costs
Another of the key benefits of stable matting is how they can save you money in the long term. By using Rubber Stable mats, you can significantly cut down on the amount of bedding required. In general, we say you can hope to reduce the amount of bedding required by a third, but this will depend on your and your horse. We recommend reducing your horses bed gradually until you reach a bed that your horse is comfortable with.
