Can anyone tell me which rubber mats to buy please??

[Patterdale]

Trying to create a stable for when senor colic actually does arrive home, but the rubber mat world is too much for my frazzled brain.

For a 14.2 fit Connemara, 415kg.
Must be moveable.

Please help!! I just nearly bought 12mm which would have been ?too thin??

Thanks xx

I think that’s pretty standard. You can get 24mm but it might be very heavy to move.

The EVA ones are easier to move, but I found not as stable underfoot as rubber and they swell in warm weather

EVA, as thick as you can afford, 32mm, or an inch is good for the money. I bought them in batchs off ebay from different suppliers and they are all a like apart from the thickness. I have down sized so I have just sold some them for roughly what I paid for them, they are nearly a third more expensive now. Also sold my Lodddon stables in a week, winter must be coming.

I like the quatrosoft mats. Easy to pick up and put down compared to the rubber cow mats. I use the 32mm on the bed area and the 24mm at the standing area in the stables.

I have EVA, 24mm. I still lay a full bed on top so figured they were thick enough.

Mayo mats have lasted me well over 10 years.
They would be my go to choice.

Another fan of EVA mats here, easy to cut and move

I had equimats for approximately 20 years and they were great but had come to the end of their life, i looked at getting the same but they’re £££ and I think they are in administration I bought some 24mm Ark EVA mats, fitted them well, the next morning my horse had nearly put a hole in the 2 front mats!! They were advertised as suitable for a small horse, mine is a 470kg Arab, they did refund me but weren’t particularly helpful, didn’t apologise AND i had to clean them and repackage to send them back!!

We got some second hand equimats and they are incredible, very light to move but super tough. I love them!
