UK stock, fast dispatch.

Why Equestrian Owners & Yard Managers Choose These Mats

• Eliminates gateway mud: Interlocking rubber grid spreads hoof impact (400–500kg per strike) across the root zone — no more poaching, rutting or waterlogged gateways even in winter.
• Anti-slip surface for horses & handlers: Textured rubber grip reduces slipping risk for shod and unshod horses as well as yard staff in wet conditions.
• Grass grows through: Open-cell design maintains 75–80% grass coverage — the mat protects roots while turf recovers and establishes naturally beneath it.
• 200mm/hr drainage: Water drains freely through apertures — no pooling, no standing water, no muddy wash running into yards or fields.
• Resistant to hooves, shoes & chemicals: 23mm SBR recycled rubber withstands metal horseshoe studs, urine, manure and pressure washing without degrading.
• UV & frost resistant: Rated -15°C to +50°C — stays flexible and functional through hard frosts and summer heat.
• Reversible for double the lifespan: Flip the mat to present a fresh surface when one side shows wear — extends product life significantly.
• No groundwork or foundations required: Roll out directly onto existing ground. No concrete, no excavation, no planning permission needed.
• Interlocks on all four sides: Mats connect securely to cover any size gateway, yard or paddock track — no gaps, no edges lifting underfoot or hoof.

How Many Mats Do I Need?

Each mat covers 1.5m². To calculate your order: measure the length and width of the area in metres, multiply together, then divide by 1.5. We recommend adding 5–10% extra for trimming around posts or obstacles. Mats interlock on all four sides so you can configure any shape of gateway or yard.

Order Options

Available as mats only (peg-free for flat gateways and level yards) or as mats with anchor pegs and ties (recommended for sloped gateways, paddock tracks, or areas subject to hoof lifting). Both options use the same 23mm heavy duty mat.
