Can anyone offer recommendations on the best rubber matting? I have no idea what to look for, but need to replace the stuff I have now. Any good (and preferably cheap!) suppliers? Thanks.
I bought mine from Ebay 'Easi-mat' as I was looking for something really thick and that would be comfortable without a lot of bedding. Very pleased with them. Found that they were a bit on the expensive side but I did have them shipped to Holland and they were very very heavy. Besides I weighed up the savings I would make on bedding versus their price and I earned their cost back within 7/8 months. I will be ordering some more this year as I now have an extra horse and will definately use them again.
Just looked them up on google and here is the link http://www.easimat.com/acatalog/Horse_Stable_Mats.html
I have the "black mat co" rubber mats. These were quite reasonable from my local feed/bedding supplier. (About £75 each I think but it was a while ago) They've definatley saved me a lot more I tink as I really just have to put enough bed down for my boy to wee on and bank up the sides a bit. The only problem I have is that our stables were built level and there is no where for the wee to drain out so I have to get them all out every once in a while to disinfect. Not easy or pleasant as they are bloody heavy and slippery when wet YUCK YUCK and double YUCK!
ive got equimats, they are great. quite pricey but got mine cheaper as they are seconds (a couple of mm out here and there, but this has caused no probloems at all)
