When preparing for shows, it can be difficult to keep a freshly bathed animal clean on a sand or clay base. Bare concrete leads to sore joints. Our mats for horse stalls are designed to instantly create softer, more forgiving surfaces.

Despite the need for an initial investment, eventually it pays for itself. Less bedding is needed. It also saves time on cleaning, which results in lower labor costs. The animal remains healthier too.

Interlocking Horse Stall Mats

Interlocking rubber horse stall mats are manufactured with waterjet-cut edges. They connect similarly to a puzzle. The tight seams help to prevent debris from working its way between them. This also helps prevent shifting and buckling.

They connect to form a hidden-seam look. They thwart those that like to paw because they will not separate.

Order custom-sized kits to fit a specific coverage need. With exact dimensions, no cutting is needed to install. It arrives with a clearly labeled diagram for easy assembly.

A non-slip product is a safe and practical addition to bathing areas. The button-top texture maximizes traction, helping to prevent slips even when wet.

Premade layouts with textured surfaces include 10x10 ft, 10x12 ft, and 12x12 ft of coverage area.

Durable, high-density foam portable stall mats are a smart choice when traveling. They fit trailers, staging areas, show arenas, and show barns, and are much lighter weight than standard stall mats.

Our quality on-the-go horse trailer mats consist of high-density EVA material. They feature a pebble-top surface texture. Each piece ships with two border strips to finish the look.

Portable interlocking mats are 2x2 feet in size. Because of their smaller size and puzzle-style edges, transportation and repeat installation are easy. Each foam version only weighs about 2 pounds. There are also rubber stall mats in the 2x2 foot size, which weigh about 1/6 the amount of a standard 4x6 foot rubber mat.

Use portable mats at the bottom of a trailer. Afterward, pull them out and lay them down again in the temporary staging area at shows.

Our premium paver tiles offer an eye-catching design and finish. The paving sections are available in various colors. They are perfect for any outdoor walkway or aisle as a shock-absorbing and comfortable space.

Equine pavers are designed for heavier traffic, which is common in an equestrian facility. They improve traction while also simplifying the cleaning process.

These great horse barn mats are made from recycled rubber, which helps show ponies and handlers resist fatigue. A grooming location will receive frequent traffic. The paver design is a great way to resist excessive wear on the subfloor.

They provide both traction and a forgiving, safer surface, so they're frequently used throughout barns as flooring. Lay them atop a cement or asphalt floor. Alternatively, put them on dirt walkways to reduce dust and maintenance.

They mimic the appearance of brick and are popular for outdoor walkways, creating a professional and clean finish. Rubber equine pavers are safer and longer lasting than brick.

Other Mats for Horses

Foam horse mats work best over concrete and in trailers.

If you're using a base such as crushed stone or aggregate, make sure it is well compacted and leveled and that only rubber mats are used. For irregularly shaped spaces, specially-made designs will accommodate all spaces. DIY onsite cutting is another option.

For a horse that is a habitual kicker, consider attaching padding to the lower walls. Foam mats or rolled rubber will soften the impact to both protect the animal from injury and the walls from damage. It dulls the sound of a kicker, creating a more enjoyable experience for everyone. They can be installed directly atop hard, flat wall materials, such as concrete or wood.

FAQ Horse Stall Mats Q&A

How thick should horse stall mats be?

Typically, 3/4 inches is the industry standard, but an option up to 1.18 inches is available. Think about the amount of weight desired in the products. The thicker the rubbery materials will be, the heavier and trickier it'll be to move them into place. As a general rule, 1/2 inch is the minimum thickness for rubber under horses.

You may want to consider hiring contractors or installers, especially for barns that require large square footage to cover numerous stalls.

On the other hand, a heavy base will make it tough for a rambunctious horse to move the mats, which is important in certain cases.

Is a rubber floor mat good for horses and other animals?

The material provides just the right amount of cushioning for all types of large animals. Whether they’re standing or lying down, they’ll have a cushioned feel that’s easy on their joints. These tiles give some insulation against a cold subfloor too.

Will horse mats work for home gyms and gym flooring?

They work nicely in commercial gyms with large spaces and good ventilation. An equine mat can support the weight of heavy exercise equipment or free weights, keeping the subfloor free of damage from intense workouts, including cross fitness training and competitions.

The main difference between horse stall mats and rubber gym mats is that those designed for horses will have a strong rubber smell. For that reason, we do not recommend them for small spaces such as home gyms unless that gym will be located in a garage, pole shed, or any other well-ventilated area.

How do you get the smell out of a horse stall mat?

New rubberized matting will have an odor in enclosed spaces, almost like a new car smell. You could alleviate these odors in a few different ways, including:

1. Applying a neutral pH cleaner
2. Ventilate the areas after the installations occur
3. Drape them across a fence or sawhorse and expose them to airflow and sunlight for a few days before installing
4. Be patient, as the smell will lessen over time

How much are horse stall mats?

They provide great value, as they will last a long time and will stand up to repeated use. Various coverage sizes are offered, allowing for the perfect choice for all budget or square footage needs. Expect to pay anywhere from $2 to $12 per square foot, depending on the thickness and design of the product.

Top 7 Tips for Finding the Best Rubber Stall Mat

1. Measure the size of the stable.
2. Consider the budget for the project.
3. Match the correct thickness to the type of application.
4. Review the options for indoor and outdoor use, as well as wet versus dry options.
5. Consider whether a puzzle or flat edge will be best for the intended use.
6. Decide if using a knife on the DIY matting is an option to create the proper fit or if a ready-made kit would better match the plan and budget.

Cut and Resize Animal Mats

1. Mark the cuts with a pen or marker.
2. Place a 2x4-inch board underneath the cutting lines so that once scoring cuts are made, half the piece will hang off of the board.
3. Use a straight-edge brace for a successful score.
4. Make repeated shallow scores along the edge with a sharp utility knife. Allow gravity to pull open the slice as it drapes over the 2x4.
5. Continue with the process until slicing completely through.
6. Making smaller, repeated cuts while slowly moving along the length works better.
