Rubber matting opinions?

[MissSBird]

I need to get rubber matting for my mare's stable - she's just been diagnosed with pedal osteoperitus caused by acute concussive laminitus.

I know some people hate them, but the padding should be worth it. I was just wondering what company people have got theirs from and how you've found them to work with? It's a lot of money so just looking for a range of opinions.

Thanks!

Before you run out and buy matting - what does your farrier suggest? I know mine doesn't recommend matting and would rather you used a deep bed if you need extra support temporarily.

It's not temporarily. This isn't something that will ever be cured. It can only be managed, and the more she's off concrete the better.

He's going to be out today so will be discussing all this with him, but as she can box walk when in getting rid of concrete flooring seems the sensible solution.

A couple of my house sitting clients have got Quattro rubber matting they come out and lay it and properly seal it so none of the wee can seep under matting and smell, Ive seen loads of rubber matting on my travels but this was by far the best. I think they have a web site.

Equimats are lovely but expensive they're so easy to clean and light to move around.
