Comfort
Adult horses can weigh anywhere from 1,000 to 1,500 pounds, meaning horse stall mats should have a little give, while still delivering strength and stability, to provide comfort for their legs, joints and tendons. Reduce hock sores and other arthritic issues with a durable, yet comfortable horse stall mat.
Safety
The slip-resistant surface of rubber stall mats can help prevent injuries from slipping and falling on any sort of accumulated moisture or urine. Waterproof rubber horse stall mats with proper bedding are great for keeping the surface area of the mats clean and free of moisture in many forms.
Health
Unless diligently cleaned, barns without horse stall mats could cause debilitating health issues from frequent dust and unsanitary conditions. Rubber horse stall mats are the most effective way to prevent dust build-up in the air and clean ammonia-rich urine residue, which could lead to respiratory issues such as pneumonia and heaves.
Here are 5 horse stall mats for those on a budget:
