Sorry, i don't but am in the same position as you. I want them for the gateways and around the water tank this winter so will be watching for replies.
Really sad that we're all planning for winter already!

Haven't brought any yet, but thinking about it.

Not for horses but we have them on the filed outside work as it's used as an overflow carpark - to start with they didn't make a difference but after 6 months of so they've sort of bedded into the ground and the grass has grown round it - even after heavy rain it doesn't churn up anymore

I could do with some too but wanted to know if they were any good!!! I have been looking at Field Guard onces...like a plastic mesh that the grass can grow through at about £15 per mats. I need them for outside my mobile field stable.

Do the mats go slippy when wet?

 

[pottamus]

Apparently not if you get the proper ones designed for horses...but I have not used them so don't know for fact. But the Fieldguard ones claim they are fine in any weather due to the material they are made of. But for £15 each I am tempted to get some to try anyway as it is not bank breaking.
