Rubber Stable Flooring For Horse Stables
As many horse owners know, ensuring the health and well-being of your equine friends is the best approach to helping them achieve their potential, whether as racehorses, showjumpers, dressage champions, or simply riding companions. Making sure they are steady on their feet in their stables is an essential part of this path.
Hazards of concrete
Concrete or heavily bolted floors are very hazardous. Concrete can get very slippery, increasing the risk of your horse falling over and injuring itself. Some injuries to your horse can have dire repercussions, sometimes necessitating euthanasia.
Loose stones are another common hazard for horses on farms. While walking around outside, it is often the case that small stones will be picked up and grit their hooves. By the time they step onto the hard concrete surfaces in the stable, these stones can damage nerves and build up lameness issues.
That is why it is critical to invest in horse mats.
Rubber flooring solutions
Nobody enjoys sitting or standing on an uncomfortable surface, and the same applies to horses. Avoid humongous vet bills and worse, distress to your horse, by investing in a better flooring solution. The equine matting that we provide at AgMat is the best way to solve that problem.
Stable rubber matting advantages
Providing a comfortable environment for your horses benefits you in so many ways. Knowing that your horses are relaxed is rewarding enough in itself, but it also decreases the risk of injury and lameness. Comfortable horses are healthier, better at learning, more confident, and happier overall.
Horse stable matting means less slippage
Designed to be placed on any hazardous surfaces on your farm, our rubber matting products at AgMat are very easy to install. Give your horses a safer space to move around in by adding rubber stable matting to your farm. You can decrease slippage by up to 80%!
Better comfort
Concrete is not a natural surface, and the sensation of standing on concrete is uncomfortable for horses. Horse mats mimic the soft buoyancy of the grass outside and reduce the impact of walking, standing, and lying down. The rubber is gentler on the sensitive tissue within hooves.
By reducing the stress of standing on uncomfortable flooring, our products function like anti-fatigue mats for horses.
Cost-effective
Horse stable matting reduces the cost of bedding. When laid over concrete, the rubber acts as an excellent heat insulator. It provides cushioning that feels like grass. Rubber matting is far warmer, quieter, and has a softer surface for horses to lie down.
How does stable matting work?
By investing in rubber mats, you can provide a safe and comfortable solution for enhancing the well-being of your horse. Our heavy-duty rubber matting products can withstand daily use, high-impact, and heavy machinery such as tractors, automatic scrapers, or skid-steers early.
They can go anywhere your horse goes, including the stable, horse floats, the outside yard, and any pathways that your horse is uncomfortable walking along.
AgMat uses a rubber compound material, which offers many different surface grip designs to suit every need. This extra traction feels more like the natural earth outside and reduces slippage. Your horse will feel far better standing on stable matting that feels familiar.
Easy installation
The process of installing stable matting is entirely painless. After just a few hours, you will have quality matting that will last for decades. We can do it for you, but if you prefer to do it yourself, we are happy to come along and assist.
Further, the grooving systems in these products are designed for longevity. Unlike other materials, rubber minimises the need for excessive upkeep.
Easy clean
The rubber surfaces decrease the need for you to maintain tracks or pay for bedding, as you only need hoses or scrapers to clean them. Using rubber stable matting also reduces the amount of time your horses spend standing in mud year-round.
Best horse mats
Simply standing on hard surfaces such as concrete for more than two hours is proven to damage the health of your livestock. Other horse mats that use excessive bolting can even cause this issue.
At AgMat, we recommend either the diamond grip or hammer top mats for use in stables.
Hammer top stable matting
The hammer top mat has a specially designed hammer surface for extra grip, cushioning, and drainage. The non-slip surface reduces hoof impact and eliminates slipping in horse trailers and stables. Let your walk confidently and naturally anywhere on your farm.
These two-by-two meter square mats are ideal for covering large areas. They fit easily together in an interlocking pattern, making them easy to install. Weighing 40 kilograms each, you will not need to worry about whether an accidental slip will disturb the placement of the mats.
Diamond grip stable mat
The diamond-top surface of diamond grip mats provides both efficient drainage and excellent grip. The design of the rubber surface reduces slippage by up to 90%! When walking on this highly durable yet soft surface, your horse will suffer no unnecessary trauma or damage to its hooves.
These mats are 40 kilograms each and two meters by two. They are easy to install, fitting together with an interlocking pattern to cover large areas.
