The Gmats Horse Stall Mat Kit is Greatmats' popular interlocking mat kit. The interlocking connections are tight-fitting and will prevent mats from shifting and sliding, which is a common problem in straight-edge mats. Interlocking mats are becoming increasingly popular in horse stables as people find them easier to clean plus they look great!

These mats are 3/4 inch thick and thus yield supreme shock absorption and anti-fatigue benefits. Further, the thickness of these rubber stall mats increases their durability and longevity. These mats provide for animals even after years of heavy-duty use.

This kit is made to fit inside common 12x12-foot horse stalls. The exact size measures 11 feet 9-3/4 inches x 11 feet 9-3/4 inches.
