Mats lay tight together (butt-jointed) straight onto a clean, level floor — no adhesive. Numbers are rounded up; add one spare for trimming around drains and awkward corners.
Bubbletop or Ameobic?
Both are the same tough rubber mat — the difference is the top texture, so choose on looks and grip.

Rubber Matting for Stables — Stable Mats & Horse Stall Mats
These 6ft × 4ft mats are the standard rubber matting for stables used across the UK, and the same product many riders know as horse stall mats or simply stall mats. Whether you call them stable mats, stall mats, horse mats or horse stable mats, the job is identical: a warm, cushioned, urine-proof rubber floor that saves bedding and protects your horse's legs and joints. They suit stables, barns, field shelters, wash bays, trailers and horseboxes — proven rubber matting for horse stables that stands up to daily use, pawing and box-walking.
Why rubber stable matting?
A rubber-matted floor is warmer, softer and drier underfoot than bare concrete. It reduces strain on legs and joints, encourages horses to lie down and rest, and dramatically cuts how much bedding you get through — many owners recover the cost of the mats within a season. The non-porous rubber won't harbour bacteria and stays hygienic wash after wash. As genuinely heavy duty stable mats, they're built to take years of hooves, traffic and jet-washing without curling, cracking or thinning.
Bubbletop or Ameobic — which design?
Both are the same tough rubber mat with a different textured top, so pick on look and grip:
- Bubbletop — raised dome studs; our most popular for grip and a cushioned feel.
- Ameobic — a pebble-style pattern for a natural, grippy surface.
12mm or 18mm?
12mm is the standard choice for most stables over a solid, level floor — a lighter, easier-to-handle mat that still saves bedding and cushions the floor. Step up to 18mm for extra cushioning, for cold or uneven floors, for heavier horses, or to cut your bedding use even further. If you want the lightest mat to lift and lay single-handed, the 12mm is the more lightweight stable mat; the 18mm is the heavy-duty option for maximum comfort and durability.
Size & how many mats you need
Each mat measures 6ft × 4ft (1.83m × 1.22m) and covers roughly 2.23m². Not sure how many you need? Use the stable coverage calculator on this page — enter your stable size and it works out the exact number of mats and the price. As a guide, a standard 12ft × 12ft stable takes 6 mats, a 10ft × 10ft box takes 4–5, and most field shelters take 3–4.
Easy to fit — no interlocking needed
Lay the mats straight onto a clean, level floor, butted tight together — no adhesive and no interlocking joints to line up. Trim to fit around drains and awkward corners with a sharp knife or jigsaw (warm the mat first to soften it). Butted tight, the mats stay put under a horse's weight and lift out easily for cleaning. They can also be stood on end as stable wall matting to protect and cushion box walls where horses lean or kick.
Easy to clean and maintain
Day to day, just muck out, sweep and hose; a periodic lift and jet-wash keeps the floor beneath fresh. The non-porous rubber is urine-proof, so liquid sits on top rather than soaking in, and there are no fibres to rot or smell. This is genuinely low-maintenance horse stable matting — a one-off buy that lasts for years.
Not just for horses — gym, kennel & workshop use
The same 6ft × 4ft heavy rubber mat doubles as a gym mat and drop pad, a dog-kennel floor, and workshop or trailer matting wherever you need a tough, cushioned, non-slip surface. For a purpose-made lifting platform, see our large rubber gym mats.
