The Mayo Mat is a specially designed anti-fatigue horse stall mat. It has been manufactured in
Ireland
for over 20 years. This internationally renowned mat is designed primarily to protect the horse from fatigue and injury as well as cover the floor. The Mayo Mat is proven to prevent strains on tendons and muscles suffered from extended periods of time spent on hard surfaces.
Horses who spend their stall time equipped with Mayo Mats are extremely well rested. The surface of the Mayo Mat is better adapted to the natural dynamic of a horse’s anatomy and there is virtually no shock transmitted upwards through the horse's hoof, ankle, leg, or spine.
The Mayo Mat significantly reduces the need for additional bedding usually requiring only a small amount for dryness in limited areas of the stall. Reduced bedding leads to ongoing financial savings and the mats pay for themselves several times over through the life of the product. Less bedding singificantly reduces the amount of dust in the stall which is important to all horses but specifically to those suffering from pulmonary conditions.
- The Mayo Mat does not become slippery when wet which makes it an excellent and safe choice for wash stalls.
- The Mayo Mat makes a superior foaling surface.
- The Mayo Mat does not absorb liquids or odors and promotes good hygeine.
- The Mayo Mat is made of EVA, not rubber, and is much lighter than the traditional mat, with a 4'x 6' mat, 1 1/4" thick weighing only 32 lbs.
- The Mayo Mat is guaranteed for 10 years.
- And finally, Mayo Mats do not wear out. Very restless horses have absolutely no effect on the surface or on the thickness and softness of the mat.
