For maximum comfort inside the stable box
The proven OTTO StableMats create warmth and comfort in the horse box and ensure the wellbeing of your horses. Special pockets on the underside of the mat create a warming air cushion. You can save a great deal on bedding material when using OTTO StableMats, as it is only required to soak up urine. An additional advantage: Minimal waste is generated - cleaning is therefore very quick and easy, and disposal is considerably simplified.
Installation
It’s so easy to install the OTTO StableMats: The mats can be laid on any firm and level surface. If necessary, they can be easily cut with a saw to the required size. The fact that the individual mats are connected to each other ensures a firm and stable surface.
FAQ
Absorbent material such as flax straw, sawdust, wood shavings and straw pellets make suitable bedding.
OTTO StableMats can be hosed down with a water hose or high-pressure cleaner. The mats may be removed from the box periodically as required, and thoroughly ‘blasted’ (recommendation: approx. once annually).
To calculate how many OTTO StableMats are required for a box, divide the surface area of the box by the top surface of a mat (0.86 m2). The result is rounded up to whole numbers of mats
Example:
Box 3 m x 3 m = 9 m2.
9 m2 / 0.86 m2 = 10.46 mats.
Requirement: 11 mats.
Note: If there are several separate boxes, first calculate the requirement for each individual box. Then add up the total of all the rounded up results.
Example:
Requirement for 3 boxes each measuring 9 m2: 3 x 11 mats = 33 mats
The OTTO StableMat weighs appr. 28 kg. It measures 115 cm x 75 cm. The top surface is 0.86 m2.
- Insulation: The OTTO StableMat provides the horse with a comfortable underlay which ensures good insulation against the cold ground with the integrated air pockets.
- Protects the musculoskeletal system: OTTO StableMat is highly shock-absorbent and also provides a balanced firmness to protect the horse’s joints, ligaments and tendons.
- Saving on straw and bedding: As the horse itself accepts the OTTO StableMat as a comfortable bed, so bedding is only necessary to soak up urine. A thick, warm bed of straw is unnecessary, significantly reducing bedding and straw consumption and greatly simplifying disposal.
- Safe and secure underlay: The surface of the OTTO StableMat is covered with flat studs, which also give the horse a good foothold when standing up. The individual mats are joined by a tongue and groove system to ensure they are skid-resistant.
