Stall Mats

Cleaning Instructions

You can clean rubber flooring in a few different ways. One option is steam cleaning; rent a commercial steamer for a larger project, such as the Tru-Stall® 1-piece mat.

You can also use a damp mop and scrubber, which is ideal for spot cleaning. But perhaps the easiest way to clean large horse stable mats is to pressure-wash them. Check our cleaning tips for more information!

Common Use Cases

Animal Husbandry

Trusted by veterinarians, the 1-piece stall mats are a great option for operating and recovery rooms, treatment areas, and more! Easy to clean, and with great traction, you can care for your horses on these mats with peace of mind.

Foaling Stalls

There are few things more exciting than a new foal coming into the world. Ensure you’re only focused on the horses involved and not worried about the floor beneath them by installing 1-piece horse stall mats. With rubber horse stall mats installed, you can easily spread an even layer of hay, clean up afterwards, and trust that odors won’t stick around.

Horse Trailers

While our trailer ramp pads and wall liners are great options for trailers, they don’t always fit in the body of the trailer. Keep your horses protected on the road by placing interlocking stall mats in your horse trailer. The interlocking edges allow you to cover your trailer floor completely and fit to the size of your trailer.

Cleaning Instructions

Cleaning the interlocking stall mats is easy. There are a couple of different ways to clean them, but we recommend pressure-washing for the outdoor barn mats, as it will loosen the barn debris best.

Make sure to always clear the mat of loose dirt first with a broom or leaf blower. Squeegee the excess water off immediately. Check out our cleaning guide for more ideas and details.

Installation Tips and Tricks

Birthing Stalls

For those special days when new foals and colts arrive, have a birthing stall prepared to give them a clean, soft place to land. Interlocking mat rubber pieces, you can easily pull them out to clean after the birth, or set up a temporary birthing stall by bringing in interlocking stall mats.

Farrier Pads

Rubber mats help to protect your horse’s hooves from loose dirt, mud, and rocks. They also keep the hoof wall from splitting against hard ground. Set up a farrier pad for your farrier services, giving your horse a solid, protective place to stand as you work on their feet.

Horse Trailers

While our trailer ramp pads and wall liners are great options for trailers, they don’t always fit in the body of the trailer. Keep your horses protected on the road by placing interlocking stall mats in your horse trailer. The interlocking edges allow you to cover your trailer floor completely and fit to the size of your trailer.

Common Use Cases

Walking Path

When you live on a working farm, most of the area belongs to the horses. Ensure they are cared for wherever they trot by using our interlocking mats to create a walking path. This can be for moving between barns, heading to the trailer, or as a pathway surrounding a round pen.

Small Tack Rooms

Use stable matting, such as interlocking pieces, for auxiliary tack rooms that don’t require a large swatch of flooring. Use just one or two interlocking horse stall mats, or one small kit, as needed, to provide cushioning for saddle racks, blanket holders, and more.

Ice Rinks

If you live on a farm, chances are you have outdoor recreational spaces, such as an ice rink or frozen pond. If there is any chance your horses, family, or workers are near that area, keep them safe with paths to and around the ice with mats that provide traction.

FAQs

Q: How do I install interlocking mats?
A:These mats snap into place like puzzle pieces and come as a kit, ensuring you have all the pieces you need in one place. Level and clean your subfloor, then lay out the mats according to the labels. Check our installation guide for additional instructions.

Q: Why are interlocking horse stall mats recommended for equine use?
A:Supportive, stable matting eases stress on your horse’s joints, provides better traction, and the ribbed back allows for better drainage, cutting down on harmful standing moisture.

Cleaning Instructions

Keep your horses safe from old food by regularly sweeping. From there, consider periodic deep cleans to clear out built-up food or debris.

Pressure washing is a great way to quickly clear out large areas of flooring. You can also steam clean the mats once they’re cleared of debris. If you just need to spot clean the equine rubber matting, use a damp mop or scrubber.

Installation Tips and Tricks

Farrier Areas

Keeping your horse’s feet healthy is of the utmost importance. Keep them safe and clean, even while their feet are getting worked on. With a couple of straight-edge mats, you create a pad for your horse to stand on during farrier visits. This provides cushion on their joints while standing still.

Locker Rooms

Even the cleanest farm can be dusty and dirty. Explore the stall mats we have for sale for use in locker room areas in your barn. With one or two mats, or a whole equine rubber matting kit, you can keep your floor protected from boots and temperature-controlled in the elements.

Stock Trailers

Our Flexgard® straight-edge mats are the perfect size to slot into a stock trailer. This adds cushion for your animals when on the bumpy road, provides a layer of protection against the elements, and makes it easier to keep the trailer clean.

FAQs

Q: Do I really need to use rubber flooring in my barn?

Q: What’s the difference in straight-edge mats versus interlocking tabs?
A:Made of re-vulcanized rubber and designed to provide traction, all of our mats work in equestrian areas. The primary difference is how you install them and how they fit against walls. Some straight-edge mats can leave gaps for debris if not installed properly.

Q: Do you have other stall mats for sale, or just straight edge?
A:At Therubberman.com, we sell a vast array of rubber flooring. Our equine rubber matting options include those with interlocking tabs, kits that create a 12’x12’ space, and 1-piece stall mats that can be customized to different sizes.

Q: Why are these mats better for equine?
A:While every mat has the proper design on the bottom to prevent the mats themselves from slipping, the top design provides traction for those walking across. Our smooth top mats are also great for fitness areas, such as gyms.
