## Why Choose Horse Mats?
Horse mats are essential for creating a safe, hygienic and comfortable environment for your animals. Quality rubber mats cushion hooves and joints, reduce fatigue and promote good circulation by providing a stable, non-slip surface. They channel away urine and moisture to keep stalls dry and hygienic while minimising bedding waste and mucking-out time. Proper matting improves traction in wash bays, gateways and walkways, helping prevent slips and falls for both horses and handlers.
## Applications
- Stable stalls and boxes
- Wash bays and grooming areas
- Field shelters and barns
- Walkways, gateways and turnout areas
- Horseboxes, trailers and transporters
- Cow barns and livestock pens
## Materials & Construction
Our horse mats are manufactured from high-density rubber compounds designed to withstand the weight and movement of large animals. Solid-top mats provide a cushioned surface with grooves or studs on the underside for drainage and stability. Textured surfaces improve grip, even when wet. Drainage mats feature perforations or channels to quickly direct liquids away. Mats are available as heavy single pieces or interlocking tiles, with thicknesses from 17 mm to 23 mm for optimal shock absorption. Many designs use recycled rubber for environmental sustainability.
## Installation & Maintenance
Horse mats can be laid over concrete, compacted earth or stable flooring. For best results, ensure the base is level and free of sharp stones. Mats may be laid loose, interlocked or glued down depending on use. Interlocking edges prevent mats from moving apart under heavy traffic. To maintain hygiene, regularly sweep, hose down and disinfect mats; allow them to dry thoroughly before re-use. Check that drainage channels remain clear and replace worn mats to preserve cushioning and grip.
