Hes only really got the one matt which isnt coverd, which is the matt for him to stand on while eating his haynet. There massive stables so ive put the water bucket in one corner which doesnt have matts, and he pees on his bed. So far his matts stay dry. Im keeping an eye out though -...

Yeah they are the anti slip one! There a pain in the Ar5e! Im so glad ive done it now! takes minutes to brush now!

I have turn my rubber matts upside down, so the nobbly bits are on the bottom! Its the best thing i have ever done. Its so much easier to brush now - I really struggled with the nobbly bits, and was even considering taking the matts out! Hes on a full bed of shavings. And the matts dont...

I have seen one hit its head after rearing and craked its skull - I was only 11 and it was being lunged and after a third time it went over and didnt get back up! It was absoulotely awful Ive been in a field when an old old horse collapsed and nearly landed on my friend! It just went sideways...

Last winter my matting was pimple side up, but this year when i cleaned them out and relayed them ready for this winter i thought about using the grove side up - as the pimples are such a pain to sweep! I am bedding down tommorow ready for weeked - so before i do has anybody used the...

Breaking my 4 year old in, and he is a rearer!! Hopefully its just a phase and hes doing it in temper. He did it when the dentis tried to look at his teeth, nothing much i could do there except tell him off, luckily it was the vet so he was sedating him anyways to pull out wolf tooth...

Somebody had posted a few days ago about a horse died after eating them! Was feeling off and was dead in field next day!
