Created: Sep, 2020 - Modified: Dec, 2024

If you have horses or are thinking of getting horses, you may also be considering tack room ideas. Having a dedicated room for your saddles, bridles, stirrups, reins, halters, bits, and other horse and equine show equipment and accessories is a must if you want to keep your barn, stable, trailer, loafing shed, run-in shed, shipping container, or other simple shelter organized. 

When thinking of different tack room ideas, your mind may automatically go to questions about maximizing the room’s wall space to best organize the room. You may also be thinking of design ideas. Will you stick with a simple, western cowboy design, or, will you give the tack room space a complete, English-inspired, or modern makeover? 

Choosing appropriate mats or other flooring should also be among your top priorities.

Portable Horse Stall Mats for Tack Room Floors

Portable horse stall mats should be one of the first flooring solutions that come to mind when contemplating tack room flooring ideas. As a stall mat flooring system, your tack room will take on a cohesive look and feel as the rest of your barn, trailer, or shed.

These high-quality mats are made of high-density EVA foam. They are ¾ inch thick and cover 4 square feet, while only weighing 2.2 pounds each. They feature toughness and support without being heavy like rubber. 

So, if your space is small, like in a horse trailer, these may be a great option for you. This product features an interlocking mat design and has a nonslip pebble top surface texture. They are double-sided for a longer life, waterproof, and come with 2 border strips per tile.
