rubber mats for indoor agility

kendal · #1 (**permalink**) 10-11-2009, 01:05 PM

hey don't know if anyone can help but i thought i would try this.

i have just bought some agility jumps to use at class but we use a community hall so it has a slide floor and i don't want to use them without some form of rubber matting to put down, as I don't want any of the dogs to get hurt.

its not going to be a full agility thing its just to give the dogs something extra to do in a recall or a fetch.

so i was wondering where is the best place to get rubber matting for the jumps, i have found some suppliers of ribbed rubber matting but i don't know if that will hurt the dogs feet when the jump and land.

can anyone advise me please.
thanks.

I'd go for rubber mats they sell for horses stables. They are extreamly hard wearing (obviously with the weight of a horse to carry) and not too badly priced. Robinsons - Buy Equestrian Supplies, Horse Tack, Clothing and more at Robinsons

Or even this might do?

Robinson's have got free postage is you spend over £40 at the moment too.
