Best Mats for Horse Stable Grooming Areas

Using a rubber grooming mat is a great way to add traction and solid footing in a space used to wash and groom horses. Stall mats are a wonderful addition to equine wash bays, as they help keep the horse and groomer safe from slips and falls. They also help to keep the wash bay space clean, mud-free, and mold-free making it much more appealing when your horse’s tail is swishing and swaying around.

In an area where clippers, a brush, trimmer, and other grooming items will be used to groom a horse or pony, a grooming mat will make for fast and easy clean up of debris, skin, clippings, hair, and dust. A grooming mat will make you and your horse more comfortable, as it will provide slip-resistant qualities and anti-fatigue benefits. They are one of the best additions to any equine space, protecting you, your feet, your animal, and your floor from damage and injury.

Greatmats offers a large variety of grooming mat options, many of which are relatively lightweight and easy to remove for deep cleaning or replacement.
