Testimonials
Equimat reviews by our community of supporters spanning twenty years!
During the twenty years since introducing Equimats to North America more than half a million of our unique horse stall mats have been sold, building an incredible following of wonderful, supportive horse and animal people throughout Canada and the United States. It is a pleasure to receive customer reviews, sometimes from customers who purchased their mats over a decade ago!

“The best option for both functionality, sanitizing etc, and for the horse’s comfort.”
Sandra
Sandra loves the money she saves year after year on shavings.
“We use less bedding because we don’t need bedding. They pay for themselves.”

John trusts Equimats at home and trailering to international horse shows.
“I love these equimats! The horse’s legs were really tight!”
“Equimats perform! As well as comfort at home, my horses rest well on the portable mats at shows when it really matters.”
— Charlotte Bredahl-Baker, US Olympic Dressage Medalist
“Our horses were on a trailer for 12 hours at a time, and I love these Equimats! When we got to California, all the horses’ legs were really tight and everything felt wonderful.”
— John Swale, Cutting Horse World Champion
“The difference these mats have made to increase the soundness of our horses from start to finish of a particular event has been incredible. They virtually eliminate body soreness and leg pain caused by extensive standing on cement.”
— Clay Webster, 5 time Canadian Quarter Horse Nationals Champion
“I use 1/4 of the shavings I once did. So easy to clean and move. Best investment for the barn ever!”
— Christine Grey, Barn Owner
“This is an outstanding product. The non-slip, non-porous surface is perfect. Installation around our trickier areas was no problem as the mats are so easy to cut for any shape.”
— Patricia Braken, Fox Earth Farms
“Once you get these mats in your barn, you will never look back. When you see how your horses are so happy on them, and how good it feels to walk on them, and what you’re doing for your horse. You’re going to love them. Don’t even think twice. It was the best investment I ever made.”
— Leonore Claypool, Horse Owner
“Awesome product. We purchased this product 3 years ago and have already cut our bedding costs to cover our initial purchase. We have an arthritic gelding that is much more comfortable because of these mats. I can’t say enough good things about them.”
— Andrea Robinson, Horse Owner
“These mats are incredible quality. We have had ours for 3 years and still are in perfect condition. This was an investment worth every penny. Not a second of regret in purchasing these.”
— Leanne Smith, Google Review
“After the first one went in, the rest of the mats were a snap to lay down. They made the stalls look great, we save on shavings and clean-up is easy. We continue to recommend Equimats to other people.”
— Connie Greczmiel, Horse Owner
“My husband (a perfectionist) installed Ty’s Equimats in his stall. First of all, it took less than 2 hours for the ‘perfectionist’ to install the mats. There was some cutting involved and Alan said the mats were not difficult to cut and custom fit.
As you may remember during our conversations about your product, I had been struggling with an annoying hock sore, that was improving with a hock shield. But due to the way my horse gets up and the mats that were on the floor of his stall I would have always had to use a hock shield and that was just not something that I felt was a good long term solution (although taking nothing away from the hock shield product it did wonders to improve the wound).
Within 5 days of being on the Equimat Ty’s wound was no longer red and was already showing good healing. Ty has been on the Equimats now for 3 weeks, his hock sore is healed, 100%. As a bonus, Ty a well conditioned senior horse looks less stiff to me coming out of the stall 1st thing in the morning.
So in summary, your Equimat system is all that it is advertised to be and your customer service was outstanding. Thank you for your wonderful product.”
— Deborah P, Horse Owner
“One horse that I own had terrible hock sores after laying on gravel or regular rubber mats in his paddock. The wounds wouldn't heal. I tried hock boots which just slipped down and wrapping his hocks to no avail. Nothing worked.
I no longer have to worry since I purchased the extra cushy Equimats. He sleeps on them, I use no shavings, and he has no more hock sores. He had hock sores for over 8 months, and they never healed. It did take a month or so for the sores to go after I purchased the Equimats, but he has never had them again. I'm really happy with them, and I feel they are worth the price after seeing the difference in my horse.”

“I recently installed the flooring in my home gym. I love the forgiveness and soft padding, especially when I'm dropping weights and doing floor exercises. No need to lay a mat on the ground when I'm stretching, the padding is forgiving enough to sit on comfortably. Easy to wash and maintain. Would recommend for anyone with a home gym or play area.”
—Robert Bradley, Facebook Review
“These mats are absolutely amazing!!! My horse had awful bedsores that nothing worked - and we tried EVERYTHING!! His hock sores were so bad that he pretty much had holes in his hocks! Within a few sleeps on these mats, they cleared right up! Ever since he's been on these mats the hock sores haven't come back, and we've been using about 50% of the shavings we were!! Saves me time cleaning his stall and saves me money on med supplies that I needed for his wounds. Greatest things EVER!!
Thanks!
-Camille & Wyzoon”

“Used ours for the first time this weekend for a 4 day show. They were easy to carry in, install and remove. Our horse has arthritis in his knees and showed no signs of soreness all weekend. Lots of jealous horses!!! And lots of inquiries from their owners!”

CUSTOM COLOURED EQUIMATS FOR FOX EARTH FARMS EQUINE WELLNESS CENTRE
“This horse mat is an outstanding product. We have used Equimats for the last 10 years and the durability and ease of installation is amazing. We designed and opened our equine wellness and fitness center last fall and there was no question as to what we wanted to use for matting around our equipment. The non-slip, non-porous surface is perfect. This horse mat is the only barn flooring that is truly anti-fatigue with real therapeutic performance. As well installation around our trickier areas was no problem as these horse mats are so easy to cut for any shape. On top of that, we were able to customize our barn flooring colour to go with our theme. These horse stall mats are wonderful and the level of customer service and professionalism matches the product.”
Patricia Bracken of Fox Earth Farm, Alberta
