Hi, someone summoned me so here I am! It's been a while... ;) I am the UK agent for the Mudcontrol slabs and we've been trialling and using them on our heavy clay in Northants since 2018 and they've been an absolute revelation. Our 3 big mares live out on our slabbed area 24/7 through the winter...

The Shared Pallet Delivery Group has 3.7 thousand members so it's worth trying again.

they weigh 7kg (a stone) each. In a wheelbarrow or an ATV, or one in each hand and plod along with them (that's how I do it if i can't get anything else to where I need them. We have customers who are pensioners who have laid them, and other customers who have got their kids to lay them. It's...

Delivery depends on the postcode, and we're charged per pallet space, with up to a tonne on a pallet. Deliveries are usually on an 18 tonner (up to 140 slabs per pallet), or a 7.5t or 12t lorry if requested (for up to 100 slabs per pallet.) If you want a smaller amount than a full pallet, then...

Hi, popping up because someone mentioned this thread to me. I am happy to answer any questions about them (I'm the U.K. agent for Mudcontrol.) It's not to late to lay them in even the most vile mud. This was done by a customer a week ago: I hope the link works. Orders are still going out...

Have you tried putting sand or wood pellet bedding or even soil on top, or old grass mats if you have any lying around? All of these have worked for other horses who were very suspicious initially.

Aww thanks. She's an absolute sweetheart, a very nice pet, since that's all she can be. But she's not exactly straight (as you can see!) hence me trying to keep her sensible with my voice, didn't want her trying to whizz round the corner by me! Look forward to speaking tomorrow :)

Yep, big fuzzy orange wobbly pet, bless her. :)

Loads more on the YouTube channel, worth a look hopefully. Thanks.

It depends on the horse tbh. Many are fine with no sand. Or you can just add a bit. Or add lots, like this : This video is of some of my horses on the slabs after a hard frost (when the gravel yard was lethally slippery but the slabs were alright).

They won't sink, they all interlink and support one another, and they will allow the mud/soil underneath to stabilise. If it's very sloppy then mud/slop will come up through the holes, Of course, and need scraping off, as will mud carried onto the slabs. So they can be laid on deep mud, and...

The manufacturer's recommendation for use of the slabs for animals is to add sand on top and we strongly endorse this. Some horses don't find them at all slippery, others do. Sand on top helps a lot, definitely.

Do you mean 50 slabs or 50 square metres? 50 slabs is £345 including VAT + delivery, and definitely worth trying to share the delivery to divide the delivery cost. The Facebook group for shared pallet deliveries is worth a look. :)

The Mudcontrol slabs are rock hard, as hard as concrete, so need either rubber or EVA stable mats on top, or lots of bedding (a pain to muck out with it going down the holes though!) or over topping with lots of sand for a lying-down area. :)
