Why do horses need rubber matting?
Concrete or compacted metal surfaces are very hazardous, concrete and hard horse float flooring can get very slippery, which increases the risk of your horse falling over and injuring itself. Some injuries to your horse can have dire repercussions making it essential to eliminate these risks.
Another common hazard for horses is loose stones. While walking around outside, it is often the case that small stones will be picked up along with grit in their hooves. When they arrive at the stable with its hard concrete surfaces, these stones can damage nerves and cause lameness issues.
We doubt you would enjoy spending half your time standing on a surface that’s not comfortable, and neither would your horse. Avoid vet bills and worse, distress to your horse, by investing in a better flooring solution. The heavy-duty rubber mats for horses that we provide at AgMat are the best way to solve that problem.
There are many advantages to providing a comfortable environment for your horses. Knowing that your horses are relaxed is rewarding enough in itself, but it also decreases the risk of injury and lameness. Comfortable horses are happier, more confident, better at learning, and healthier overall.
These products are designed to be placed on hazardous floors on your farm and are very easy to install. Adding horse stall mats to your stables and horse floats can decrease slippage by up to 80%, providing a far safer space for your horses to move around in.
The sensation of standing on hard surfaces like concrete is uncomfortable for horses. Our mats mimic the soft buoyancy of the grass outside and reduce the impact of walking, standing, and lying down. It is gentler on the sensitive tissue within hooves.
Rubber mats in your stables also reduces the cost of bedding. The rubber acts as an excellent heat insulator when laid over concrete. It provides cushioning that feels like grass. Rubber mats are far warmer, quieter, and have a softer surface for horses to lie down.
How do horse stable mats work?
Rubber mats provide a safe and comfortable solution for your horse’s wellbeing. Our products are super heavy-duty and can withstand daily use, high-impact, and heavy machineries such as tractors, automatic scrapers, or skid-steers early. They can go inside or outside, including the stable, yard, float, and any pathways that your horse is uncomfortable walking along.
AgMat uses a rubber compound material and offers many different surface grip designs to suit every need. In floats, the buoyancy and grip make it easy for your horse to stay balanced. This extra traction reduces slippage and feels more like the natural earth outside. Your horse will feel far better standing on something that feels familiar.
Simply standing on hard surfaces for more than two hours is proven to damage the health of your livestock. At AgMat, we recommend for horses either the hammer top or diamond grip mats.
Hammer top mats
The hammer top mat has a specially designed hammer surface for extra grip, cushioning, and drainage. This surface reduces hoof impact and eliminates slipping. Your horse will be able to walk naturally and confidently.
These tiles cover 2 square meter per sheet and are ideal for covering large areas and also reducing the amount of joins for tidier installation, they fit easily together in an interlocking pattern, making them easy to install. They weigh 40 kilograms each, so the placement of the mats is unlikely to be disturbed also eliminating the need to be anchored down.
Diamond grip mats
The diamond-top surface of diamond grip mats provides both excellent grip and efficient drainage. Slippage is reduced by up to 90%, thanks to the design of the rubber surface. Your horse will not suffer unnecessary trauma or damage to its hooves when walking on this soft surface.
These mats are also 40 kilograms each and cover 2 square maters per tile. They are easy to install, fitting together with an interlocking pattern to cover your required area
