Rubber mats on half the floor?

[MyBoyChe]

Is there a way to successfully secure them so they dont slip? Really dont want to do the whole stable as it has a leak on one side which Id rather leave clear so it drains through, pony doesnt need the whole area bedded either. Is there a good way to secure the front edge so they dont slip across and come away from the side where I want them to stay?

Mine have never slipped, they are heavy mats though.

I only have them in half the stable and they never slip. They are really heavy so they stay put.

Mine do not slip either. They are arranged in a "slab" and there is an open concrete area at one end as the stable is so long.

My gap is the other way round at the back of the stable under the banks so the mats come all the way down to the door. I don’t like them standing on bare concrete because it gets slippery when wet. Never moved and are so tightly butted up against the partitions they never get wee under them either.

I do - they never move as they're butted up to 3 walls.

I find it a lot cleaner as the wee doesn't get stuck under the mats

Mine don’t slip either and I only have half the stale if the mats are heavy ones then they shouldn’t move once down

I have a full stable matted - but my horse is VERY heavy footed and he constantly moves them - even the really heavy ones, so i would have no chance with only a half matted stable

my stable is matted apart from front 1/4 of the stable. They have never moved!

length of 2"x1" wood across (in front of) the leading edge screwed down onto a concrete floor

 

[MyBoyChe]

Hopefully its more to do with the quality of the mat then and how heavy the horse is!! My big lad just drags his hooves so they slip if not tightly packed, maybe the little pony will be less clumsy

 

[Tiddlypom]

Are they rubber mats or EVA mats?

 

[MyBoyChe]

Looking to buy so neither as yet

Treated my boy to new mats in summer. He’s very wet & poops like crazy all over place. Went for Horsemat Newmarket due to great drainage. Amazing mats, he’s still filthy beast but loads better. Company really great to deal with,
