Why Choose Slip-Not for Your Stable Mats?
🏆 UK's Leading Stable Mats Supplier
Since 2015, we've supplied premium rubber horse stable mats to thousands of private stables, livery yards, riding schools, and equestrian facilities across the UK. Our reputation is built on quality, horse welfare, and expertise.
🔄 Reversible Design Doubles Mat Life
Our unique dual-sided design means you can flip the mat when one side shows wear, effectively doubling the lifespan. The bubble pattern side provides maximum cushioning, while the ribbed fluted side offers excellent drainage and grip.
🐴 Superior Horse Comfort & Welfare
The robust cushioning reduces strain on joints, legs, and hooves, promoting better horse health and comfort. Horses are more likely to lie down and rest on comfortable stable mats, improving overall wellbeing and recovery from work.
❄️ Excellent Thermal Insulation
Protects horses from cold, damp concrete floors, especially critical during UK winters. The thick rubber provides a warm, dry surface that helps maintain body temperature and prevents chill-related health issues.
🧼 Hygienic & Easy Maintenance
The non-absorbent surface doesn't soak up urine or moisture, making mucking out faster and more hygienic. Simply hose down, sweep, or pressure wash. Reduces bedding costs as less bedding is needed on rubber mats.
💪 Heavy-Duty Durability
Engineered to withstand constant hoof traffic, pawing, and the demanding stable environment. Our mats last for years, providing excellent long-term value compared to cheaper alternatives that crack or deteriorate.

Frequently Asked Questions – Stable Mats UK
How many stable mats do I need for one stable?
For a standard 12ft x 12ft (3.6m x 3.6m) stable, you'll need approximately 6-8 mats depending on layout. For a 10ft x 10ft stable, 4-6 mats typically provide good coverage. Measure your stable dimensions and divide by the mat size (6ft x 4ft = 24 sq ft per mat). We recommend adding 10% extra for cutting and fitting around edges.
Should I choose 12mm or 18mm stable mats?
For most horses and ponies, 12mm provides adequate cushioning and is more economical. Choose 18mm for heavy horses (Shires, Clydesdales), high-traffic commercial stables, competition yards, or if you want maximum comfort and durability. The 18mm interlocking option is best for permanent installations in professional yards.
Do I need to glue stable mats down?
No! Most stable mats are designed for loose-lay installation – the weight of the mat keeps it in place. For permanent installations or if you want extra security, the 18mm interlocking mats lock together without adhesive. Gluing is rarely necessary and makes future removal difficult.
How do I clean rubber stable mats?
Daily: Remove droppings and soiled bedding as normal. Weekly: Hose down or pressure wash the mats, sweep away debris. The non-absorbent surface means urine and moisture sit on top rather than soaking in, making cleaning quick and hygienic. Allow to dry before re-bedding.
Will stable mats reduce my bedding costs?
Yes! Rubber stable mats significantly reduce bedding requirements. The cushioned surface means you can use 30-50% less bedding compared to concrete floors. Many horse owners report bedding savings that pay for the mats within 12-18 months.
Are stable mats suitable for horses with laminitis?
Yes! The cushioned surface is beneficial for horses with laminitis, providing soft support that reduces pressure on painful hooves. Many vets recommend rubber stable mats for laminitic horses. The 18mm thickness provides maximum cushioning for horses requiring extra comfort.
Can I use stable mats in wash bays?
Absolutely! The non-slip surface and water-resistant properties make stable mats perfect for wash bays. The textured patterns provide secure footing even when wet, and the mats drain well. Easy to hose down and keep clean.
How long do rubber stable mats last?
With proper care, our heavy-duty stable mats typically last 10-15 years or more. The reversible design effectively doubles the lifespan – when one side shows wear, simply flip the mat over. This makes them excellent long-term value compared to replacing bedding or repairing concrete.
Are stable mats eco-friendly?
Yes! Our mats are made from natural, sustainable regenerated rubber compounds. They're long-lasting (reducing waste), reduce bedding requirements (saving resources), and can be recycled at end of life. An environmentally responsible choice for equestrian facilities.
