Hi there, really hope some one can help as I’m going around in circles with this one… I’ve just has a 20X12 mobile field shelter built which converts into 2 stables. Its directly on grass ( I’d need planning permission for a hard standing) and I’m now after a flooring for comfort, insulation and easy mucking out. Equimat have an interlocking mat (22mm @16kg and 28mm @ 21kg) that’s part rubber and part EVA. As helpful as they were over the phone I’d feel happier once I’ve heard the experience of other horse owners who’ve used them as its could end up being a very expensive mistake otherwise

1. Interlocking mats. Do they work, do the edges stay flat and flush on grass / earth?
2. At 16kg and 21kg… are they heavy enough to mould to the ground and not move around
3. Am I better off going for a standard hard rubber stable mat and use wood chip / shavings as bedding instead?
4. As the rubber mats are hard – does it matter what thickness I buy? Does an 18mm offer same comfort as a 30mm?

Huge thanks for any advise received :)
