Stable Mats: Rubber Mats for Horse Stables, Aisles and Calf Pens

Stable Mats: Soft Footing for Horses and Calves

Good stable mats turn hard concrete into an elastic, non-slip surface. Your horse stands more relaxed, lies down more readily and does not slip when getting up. You save bedding, mucking out is quicker and there is less dust. Here you will find rubber stable mats and soft PVC mats for the stable, aisle and paddock, plus a calf rubber mat with interlocking edges for calf pens and calf hutches.

The Right Mat for Every Area

For the stable and lying area, a thicker, cushioned mat of around 1.8 to 3 cm is worth it. In the aisle, under swinging doors and in the horse trailer, thinner mats with good grip are practical because they lie flat and can be driven over. In the wash bay, mats with studs or ring holes let water drain away. On the stable wall, wall mats protect against kick injuries. In the Area of use filter, simply choose where the mat will go and you will only see suitable models.

Rubber, PVC and Jigsaw Edges

Vulcanised rubber is heavy, keeps its shape and copes with horseshoes as well as the yard loader. Mats made from soft PVC are lighter, insulate against cold and can also be used outdoors. Many models have a jigsaw edge, so the mats interlock without gaps and nothing shifts. The surface stays sealed and urine does not seep underneath.

Frequently asked questions

Which stable mats are the best?
The best stable mat is the one that suits the area and your horse. In the stable, heavy rubber mats with jigsaw edges have proven themselves because they lie without gaps and last a long time. Heavy or very active horses benefit from a reinforced mat, older horses from a softer one with more cushioning.

Do I still need bedding with stable mats?
Yes, but much less. A thin layer absorbs urine and keeps the surface dry, while the mat provides the cushioning. This noticeably reduces the amount of muck and your bedding costs.

How do I clean stable mats properly?
Day to day, it is enough to muck out daily and add fresh bedding to wet patches. Once or twice a year a thorough clean with a brush or pressure washer is worthwhile. Let the mats dry well before you bed down again.
