Horse owners are constantly looking for products that are cost effective and practical. I just discovered Stall Skins a great alternative to rubber stall mats and they certainly fit the categories of cost effective and practical!
When my dream barn was finally finished, a friend asked if I knew about Stall Skins, which are a really creative stable mat choice rather than regular rubber stall mats or rubber mat flooring. I had seen Stall Skin commercials on television, but now that I had a real need for horse stall matting, I began my investigation. Any stable mat alternative that is better than those heavy rubber mats or rubber mat flooring (with no drainage possibility) is definitely worth looking at.
The bottom line is that these Stall Skins are great! The people who created them are horse owners, so they knew what to pay attention to in developing a superior stall liner that wasn’t just another version of rubber horse stall mats. First of all, Stall Skins are easy to set up, even for someone like me. You know how heavy and awkward regular stall mats are, and how they never seem to stay in place? Stall Skins aren’t like that at all.
A couple of weeks after the Stall Skins were in place, I noticed that the stalls required less shaving and yet were dry and didn’t smell. Apparently the material, which is rolled out into place and sort of curves up on the side like a pie crust, is permeable and allows the urine to drain through to the dirt or sand underneath it. No more pools of smelly urine and damp shavings that never dry out. My horses don’t slip on this material either, and no more ‘puzzle pieces’ of rubber stall mats pulled up and scattered in the stall.
The bonus? Stall Skins are about 50% less expensive than rubber stall mats. All of these benefits certainly make me and my checkbook happy, and my horses comfortable and safe. How great is that!
