Due to their durability, comfort and resilience, rubber flooring products are often used in animal care applications. Animals such as horses and cows are expensive and require attentive care. Rubber stall mats are highly recommended for these animals because they are cost-effective, highly durable and very comfortable to stand on. A comfortable animal is a happy animal, and a happy animal is a healthy animal. This will save you from unwanted expenses like medical bills. Plus, with an animal’s hooves planted on a rubber barrier, the existing floors of the stalls will be spared potential damage. Our line of rubber stall flooring is the premier option in bedding and horse comfort.
Our equine mats come with textured surfaces that are meant to comfort the animal while it stands on the mat. This is a very important feature to have in mats for horse stalls because hard concrete floors are cold and uncomfortable for horses. Rubber-Cal’s line of stall flooring is made of natural and recycled rubbers and comes in a variety of thickness gauges. Rubber is a great solution for flooring because it is more elastic than other types of surfaces. This elasticity allows for a better degree of comfort that is absent in materials like wood and concrete. More importantly, rubber surfaces can be designed with textures that are meant to relieve discomforting pressure that can build up in a person or animal’s feet. Any livestock owner knows that a comfortable animal is a happy and productive animal. These surface textures are also important because they provide more grip for the hooves of your animals. Stalls are prone to moist surfaces through weather conditions, cleaning, drinking water or animal waste, and the floors can become slippery. Rubber stall mats not only make animals comfortable but allow them to keep their legs under them.
“Equine-Flex” Horse Stall Mat
- Reclaimed rubber material is vulcanized for extra strength
- Fast “bedding time” makes these eco floors ideal for animal care

Comfort By Textured Surface: You will immediately notice that these horse stall mats come with a cobble-top texture. It is important to have this texture on each heavy-duty rubber mat. The raised bubbles on these floor protector mats provide an elastic bounce and support for feet, both animal and human. It is especially important for horse to remain comfortable because they are standing and running on them for a good chunk of any given day.
Eco-Friendly Durability: The reclaimed rubber material in these eco floors is surprisingly durable. The reason why “Green” products like these horse stall mats are so durable is due to their reclaimed makeup. This rubber is harvested from unused tires and molded into something new and durable, like these 4 x 6 rubber mats. Not only will you benefit from the increased durability of this reclaimed rubber mat, so too will your wallet because eco-friendly products are always more cost-effective than their synthetic competitors. It is hard to find eco-friendly thick mats at these affordable rates.
Although they are primarily meant for the animal’s comfort, rubber stall mats also enhance cleanliness and stall hygiene. A very important feature about our equine mats is the presence of drainage channels. These channels are located on the underside of the equine mats and represent a key design point. They are in place to help facilitate the drainage of liquids such as water and urine and will help keep the rubber stall mats clean. It makes their maintenance a far less tedious process. The drainage channels are especially handy when it comes to the process of cleaning the mats themselves. Our line of rubber stall flooring can be hosed down with water and washed with common detergents. Unlike other equine bedding like straw or shavings, rubber stall mats do not harbor pests and moisture. As a whole, rubber is unaffected by excess moisture. The rubber material used in mats for horse stalls also doesn’t allow the formation of mold or mildew, which can form on other materials under moisture exposure. Consumers directly benefit from this because the cleaning costs for animal stalls are reduced with easy to handle rubber mats in place.
In addition to protecting your animal, mats for horse stalls are also ideal for keeping the area’s existing floors protected. Animals such as horses and cows are very heavy and their hooves can damage surfaces. Such damage can come in the form of chips, cracks, and markings. The damage is not just a one-way street either; the animal’s feet can also sustain injuries from damaged surfaces without any protective stall flooring in place. Rubber stall mats have a dual protection purpose. They protect the animal’s feet while keeping the existing floors under them safe from harm. This is a cost-effective way to save yourself from any future repair or replacement costs.
An important consideration when it comes to stall flooring is what can happen to the existing floor surface without rubber stall mats. As mentioned, the hooves and weight of animals can damage the floor. But more importantly, this can make the floor uneven over time. An uneven stall floor can have a serious negative impact on a horse, causing joint aches and other health issues. Using rubber stall mats ensures a much safer level surface for your cherished animals and prevents them from suffering unnecessarily.

The recycled rubber material that makes up our equine mats brings several benefits to consumers. The most immediate benefit is that they are eco-friendly products that are more affordable than synthetic rubber products. Their production helps reduce waste in the environment by taking discarded vehicle tires and harvesting or recycling them for their rubber content. Since the rubber stall mats are made from tires that have a high content of synthetic rubber, they are able to last in outdoor conditions. Rain and UV rays will have a hard time trying to damage these durable floor mats. Tires are designed for use in harsh physical and environmental conditions, so these mats for horse stalls exhibit the same durability. When these great features are combined with a low competitive price, it is easy to see why recycled rubber products, like these rubber stall mats, are popular with consumers. They are truly built for long-term usage in all conditions. Speaking of all conditions, rubber stall mats also act as excellent insulators. If you live in an area which can be subject to particularly cold periods, this weather will be especially hard on your horses and other animals. Stall flooring can become extremely cold, especially if its base is made of concrete. Rubber stall mats provide effective insulation to keep your animals comfortable in all conditions. It also prevents moisture from freezing on the stall floor and creating an unbearable environment.
Mats for horse stalls and barns are extremely important to have. No stall or barn is complete without the proper protective mats in place. The NASDA (National Association of State Departments of Agriculture) notes: “Animal Welfare is the proper care and management of animals. Farmers and ranchers believe animals raised under humane conditions and practices will be productive and profitable.” Not only are these rubber stall mats meant for horses, they can also be used for other livestock such as cows and pigs. Our line of rubber stall mats can help animal owners keep their animals safe, comfortable, and happy.
