Many equestrian establishments from racing and competition yards to riding schools and livery stables now use rubber stable mats from COBA. Rubber stable mats offer many advantages to horse owners in terms of cost-savings in bedding and labour, comfort to the horse as well as benefiting the general health and well-being of stabled horses and ponies. Rubber stable matting are non-porous and ‘butt’ tightly together to anchor them firmly in position. Less conventional bedding such as shavings, straw or sawdust is required reduces bedding costs for long-term savings. This also speeds up mucking out saving labour time too. Stable mats, being dust-free, provide a healthier environment for stabled horses, especially those prone to respiratory conditions such as COPD and coughing. The embossed ‘bubbled’ top surface also provides additional grip and the 17mm thick version makes standing more comfortable than on a concrete surface. Horses prone to leg swelling from standing in stables can benefit from matting. Stable mats provide warmth and insulation in the winter. Now widely used by all equestrian disciplines including show jumping, eventing, dressage, polo, showing and horse racing. Other livestock mats available as well as rubber matting for horseboxes, washdown areas and gateways.
