Elico Rubber Horse Pony Scratching Wall / Post Mat Stable Field Matt

Practical Stable Solution for Natural Scratching Behaviour

Horses and ponies naturally rub and scratch against stable walls, posts, and field structures as part of their daily behaviour. Without proper protection, this can lead to damage on stable surfaces and discomfort for animals over time.

This rubber scratching wall mat is designed to provide a safe, controlled surface where horses can scratch comfortably without damaging timber, metal, or painted stable structures. It acts as a protective layer between the animal and the surface while supporting natural movement and behaviour.

Rubber Scratching Surface for Comfort and Safety

The textured rubber surface is designed to withstand repeated contact while remaining comfortable for animals. Unlike hard wooden or metal surfaces, rubber reduces the risk of injury while still allowing effective scratching and rubbing.

This makes it particularly useful in both stable interiors and field environments where horses frequently engage in rubbing behaviour. The material is strong enough to resist wear while maintaining a consistent surface over time.

In practical use, it helps reduce damage to stable walls, fencing, and posts, which can otherwise deteriorate quickly due to repeated animal contact.

Designed for Wall and Post Installation

This mat is intended to be mounted on stable walls, posts, or suitable field structures. Once installed, it creates a dedicated scratching zone that encourages natural behaviour in a controlled area.

In stable environments, it helps protect interior surfaces from scratches, bite marks, and rubbing damage. In field settings, it can be fixed to posts or fencing where horses naturally gather or rest.

Proper installation ensures the mat remains secure under repeated pressure and daily use.

Durable Construction for Long-Term Equine Use

The heavy-duty rubber construction is designed to handle continuous animal contact without losing structure or surface integrity. It is built for environments where durability is essential, particularly in busy stables or outdoor fields with active horses.

The material maintains flexibility while resisting cracking or splitting under normal use conditions. This balance allows it to function effectively in both indoor and outdoor equine environments.

Suitable Applications in Stable and Field Environments

This scratching mat is suitable for horse stables, pony barns, paddocks, and field installations where animals naturally rub against structures. It is especially useful in high-contact areas such as feeding zones, resting points, or stable corners.

By providing a designated scratching surface, it helps improve animal comfort while reducing maintenance requirements for stable owners.

Installation and Practical Usage

Installation involves securely fixing the mat to a stable wall, post, or suitable surface using appropriate fittings based on the structure type. Once installed, it should be checked regularly to ensure stability under repeated use.

Positioning is important, as it should be placed in areas where horses naturally tend to scratch or rub. Proper placement improves usability and reduces unnecessary wear on other stable surfaces.

Maintenance and Longevity

Maintenance is minimal due to the durable rubber construction. The surface can be cleaned using water, brushing, or standard stable cleaning practices depending on environmental conditions.

Regular inspection is recommended to ensure the mat remains securely fixed and free from excessive wear. With proper installation and care, it provides long-term functionality in both stable and field environments.
