Stable Mat - Frequently Asked Questions
How will my horse benefit?
Mother nature did not design the horse to withstand hard concrete floors, rather its natural environment is the outdoors with resilient surfaces. Our MaxMat stable mat tries to mimic the natural outdoors by providing a softer resilient surface which will also provide insulation to your horse from the cold concrete floor.
Additional benefits
- Less strain on back and hips.
- Less bedding means lower dust levels, which can avoid long term respiratory problems in your horse.
- Non-organic rubber environment slows proliferation of bacteria, thus providing a healthier environment for you horse.
What thickness of the rubber mat should I choose?
Our 17mm thick rubber matting (weighing Approx. 45kg) (MM002 and MM007) provide the best thermal insulation, long lasting hard wearing surface and are ideal for your stable requirements. For your horse boxes or trailers our 10mm MaxMat MM008 should be suitable.
A word of caution though: a lot of so called '17mm' rubber mats in the market, actually have base thickness of only 14mm or 15mm, the rest of the height being made up by designs such as dimples or studs.
Obviously, as compared to our Max Mat you get a lot less rubber for your money!!
