Rubber to cover the flooring of horse boxes is becoming more popular, for many reasons. But mainly due to the fact that rubber floors in stables are now accepted as the norm, proven to work and not a strange addition.

The benefits from a rubber bedding system is proven to have an advantage to horse welfare, time saving and reduced bedding costs.

So if it works in stables, it must be worth having a serious look at for use in your transporter. There are many types of transporter flooring on the market, some may suit your requirements, others will not, it's worth looking at the available items and getting samples, to see what suits your needs.

Granulate rubber slabs are completely safe, warm and due to their construction, have a cushioning effect, which will stop vibration from the hard transporter floor. Studs may also be worn on granulate rubber slabs.

PJP Rubber granulate or crumb rubber slabs are completely British made, they are constructed from recycled truck tyres and rebonded with special resin. The slabs are formed in special moulds from the 100% recycled crumb to PJP Rubber's own technical design to suit equestrian use, which has been improved over the years of sales.

Are you looking for a non slip, porous surface which requires no bedding, comes in one metre square slabs, 30mm thick and is easy to lay and lift, just like large carpet tiles?

If you are, then Peter Payne at PJP Rubber is the person to talk to. Their slabs have many uses, come in various thicknesses and colours, special slabs can also be made to suit your requirements. 30mm slabs are used for transporter floors, stable walls and walkways, etc. 45mm thick for stable floors, animal pens, etc. Thicker slabs for safety and play areas. Loose crumb is also available as a sand school mix.

We had some stable mats a few years ago and we now need to kit another stable.

Previous orders; 13/12/04 – 25/05/05, for stables.
Can I order some more slabs please, I need 15 for the field shelter.

I bought some stable slabs from you in October 2000, which are excellent.
As my stables are being extended I would like to order eleven more.

The stable bedding mats, have been great and so easy to use, I would never use any other type of bedding again.
I have been so pleased that I would like to order more for the other stable.

I've found a novel use for the mats - don't ask...let's just say a couple of my mats will shortly be growing things.
If they do well then my gardener may be looking for some for other clients so you never know where this may lead!
We're using the mats in the base of wooden planters as an alternative to crocks.
I figured it should work to retain the compost whilst allowing the drainage.
I also find that it assists in making excellent compost (when deep littered over the winter using fast breakdown
material such as aubiose, hemcore, wood pulp and shredded paper).  Mucking out now, it's ready to use straight on
the garden without further treatment so obviously the drainage assists in creating the right conditions for fast breakdown.

I see that the competition is promoting the solid rubber mats as more hygienic.  Having used both, I abhor the solid ones.
I've had problems with them icing up in bad weather and the horses always smell regardless of the bedding used on top
of them.
On the contrary, yours were excellent a few years back when the TB skinned her leg. 
She was in bandages for 12 months, as a result and also had to have skin grafts - with all operations and nursing 
carried out at home. 
I was able to scrub down the mats with hibiscrub daily to keep them sufficiently clean to minimise the risk of infection,
and as they dried quickly I had no concerns over injury from slippage on ice.
They also protected the "precision medical equipment" (Bioptron lamp) from damage every time I dropped it through
numb fingers or violent attacks by the nag who was frustrated at being box bound 24/7 and suffering the indignity
of having to wear brightly coloured leg warmers!

In January this year we bought 16 stable mats (45mm thick) and have been very pleased with the results.
Would like to place an order for the same, for the other stable.
19/08/08, Just to let you know the mats are down and in place.
Thank you very much, they are a blessing to me.
It will make a huge difference to me in the coming months. It now takes me ten minutes to muck out both the Shire
and the Ardenne mare.

 R8198 – Sarah – West Sussex – 18/11/08
The previous slabs you supplied have been great, our customers love them, so do the horses.
They save some much time with mucking out.
The wall mats work very well. 

R8413 – Sara – Hampshire – 11/06/09

R8436 – Ann – South Lanarkshire – 04/07/09
I purchased some 45mm stable slabs from yourselves back in 2004 and have to say they have been worth every penny
and are still going strong.
I would therefore like to order 40 more slabs.
I will be very happy to recommend your stable slabs to anyone.
