Options for Interlocking Stall Mats
You may work hard to make your equine barn and horse stalls as comfortable as possible. However, even when you do, the horses aren’t always going to appreciate your efforts. Place a few rubber mats randomly in the stall, and the horse is just as likely to paw them around and dig underneath them as stand on them for comfort. That’s where interlocking stall mats can be a big help.
When you install interlocking rubber mats for horse stalls, the pieces connect tightly together, keeping the horse from sliding them around. Greatmats has livestock rubber mat kits available to fit the entire size of a stall, which can thwart even the most aggressive pawing efforts of the animal. Full coverage in the stall also simplifies removing old straw, shavings, and droppings. We also have affordable pads for the wash barn, for horse stable mat layouts, and for portable flooring for a trailer.
Interlocking Horse Stall Mat Options
We offer two different options for interlocking horse mats.
Single Interlocking Mats
When you have an odd-sized space to cover or want to add more tiles to the layout later, purchasing enough single mats to cover the space works well. We offer:
- 4x6 foot mats with puzzle edges, so you can create a custom coverage size.
- 3x3 foot wash rack mats with puzzle edges for making a custom-sized wash bay with a perforated design to allow water to flow away.
- 2x2 tiles with puzzle edges for creating a custom coverage layout in a small tile that’s easier to handle than a large 4x6 mat.
Attach as many mats as you want to cover the space. Some of these mats only have puzzle tabs and slots on one or two sides because they are perimeter mats. If you need help deciding how many of each type of tile to order, reach out to our customer service team.
Interlocking Stall Mat Kits
If you have a specific size of space to cover, such as for an enclosed horse stall, we offer kits that contain the exact number of tiles with the right mixture of center and perimeter edge tiles. Our pre-sized rubber mat kits for horses include the following:
- 6-foot width: 6x12
- 8-foot width: 8x10 and 8x12

Interlocking Stall Mats Q&A
What do people say about our wash bay mats for horses?
Our customers appreciate the quality of our wash bay mats for horses. One ranch gives the
horse wash mats daily use, yet the mats remain durable. The rubber tiles yield a non-slip surface that also does not allow mud and ruts to form in the area.
What are the benefits of interlocking horse mats?
The biggest
benefit of interlocking horse mats is the ability to create a tight-fitting rubber floor that the animal cannot tear loose. This simplifies cleaning, as solids cannot wedge between the mats. They’re also far more comfortable than bare ground.
How do you install interlocking horse stall mats?
To
install interlocking horse stall mats, just insert the tabs on one mat into the slots on the adjacent mat. As long as you have a compacted surface underneath, the installation process should go easily.
What's the difference between cattle mats and rubber horse mats?
In reality, there’s no significant
difference between rubber cattle and horse mats. These mats deliver plenty of comfort for these heavy livestock animals, while standing up to the significant weight they possess. They provide a drier and safer place to stand for these animals versus bare ground.
Will the interlocking kit fit my horse stall?
Because we at Greatmats have so many different sizes of horse matting kits, we can deliver an
interlocking kit to fit your horse stall. Just measure the space of your stall, and our customer service team can help you find the right product, just like we’ve helped horse ranches and horse boarding facilities in the past.
