While the Cow Mat was designed with cows and horses in mind, the three main qualities of the Cow Mat (Non-Slip, Non-Absorbent, and Non-Abrasive) make it an ideal bedding for other animals. The durability, low degree of maintenance, and reliability make an ideal choice for many animals.
While a horse may only spend a few hours every day lying down, the rest is spent on its feet. For many, that is going to mean spending a huge amount of time in a stall whose floor is usually smoothed concrete with some loose bedding. That simply isn’t enough. Many people look to rubber mats as a cost effective way of alleviating some of the pressure from their horses’ feet, but the truth is that rubber is hard. Investing in a horse mat means ten full years of easy sleeping, comfortable standing, and loose joints for your animals.
Besides a huge boost to the animal’s comfort, these horse stall mats are non-absorbent. This means no liquids will get in them so they will never become breeding grounds for bacteria. They are also non-slippery; no animal has ever slipped on a Horse Mat. Besides being soft and comfortable, they are also non-abrasive. When your horse does lie down, there will be no uncomfortable scraping or pulling at its hairs along pressure points.
