Hiya everyone have just spotted these on ebay if anyone is looking for some rubber mats.
The start price is pretty cheap considering what these normally cost each and there is 12 of them as well

I go some fantastic ones off e-bay. They were delivered and the total cost for 18mats (enough to completely cover 3 x 12x12 stables) was about £500 (£27 each incl delivery). They are the really heavy 50kilo ones, I am so pleased with them.

Heh that is not bad at all as I was quoted around £200 to do one smaller stable than those but it included delivery and fitting as well.
My funds ran out before I said yes though and had been talked out of doing it by some friends as well.
One friend advised me that you can sometimes get old rubber conveyor belts from places that use them, think I was told Blue Circle or companies like that, that trade in cement etc.
I was going to try out a local one to see if I could get some but then someone who was a friend of the yard owner and I knew myself was selling some mats that you see in playground etc and I got just over 30 of them for £100 which has done both stables so well chuffed. Otherwise I had been looking on ebay as well for some used ones ( as could not afford new lol) but whenever there were any for sale they were too far away.
I posted this advert when I saw it as I thought they were cheap for what they are and as I'm a helpful person who likes to help people even those I don't know or know very well I wanted to make people aware they were for sale as not everybody has experience of ebay.
I'm a great believer in saving money wherever you can as horses can cost so damned much lol so if you can get things secondhand or shop soiled etc which saves you pounds then that money can be saved towards vet care ( if not insured) or else a treat for you or the horse.
Makes sense really imo as not everything you can buy for the horse needs to be brand new.
