Married to a Louie Lover Posts: 3303	I know walking around bonus race finals I saw a LOT of those snap together fatigue mats strewn around stalls. I rented mats there, but I hope after I get Polylast put in my trailer that the mats that are in there can be cut down to be portable. That or I'm going to talk to Polylast about making me a couple sets. If that is cost prohibitive (although after renting them it wouldn't take very many trips to make up that cost!) we'll cut down regular mats but even at 4x4 those are still going to be pretty heavy and tough to move.

Yes that's my dilemma is getting a mat that's light enough to move but sturdy enough to stay put for a week

Elite Veteran Posts: 690 Location: Georgia	I second pellet shavings. I used them in Perry for open world and will NEVER go back to dragging mats with me. I out down like 4-6 bags pellets, wet them down then put the fluffy shaving on top of that. I NEVER saw the concrete once.

Blond Bombshell.. Posts: 6628 Location: Hill Country of TEXAS!!	I invested in softrides for all 4 feet on each horse in 2007 when i first decided to try mats lol.. After having to pick up ****y mats from a stall and wash them off to put in my trailer while on the road rodeoing, i quickly called Deb Renger who was a dealer for soft rides and i met her at the next rodeo. I havent looked back since!

Elite Veteran Posts: 832 Location: Kansas (but Great Lakes member since 1978)	It's actually easier to lay down some peat moss and put your shavings over it. Don't have to mess with mats that way and it's a great cushion. Not all that expensive and actually helps keep your shavings in place better.
