Stable Mats help rescue Trapped Horse

An unfortunate horse became trapped up to its shoulders in mud, near a farm by Caernarfon this week.

15 hands high Shay was helped from his entrapment from fire rescue crews from Porthmadog, Caernarfon and Bangor who used safety ropes to lift him out of the bog. Once loosened, mats provided by Shay’s owner, Tracey Humphreys, ensured a secure exit out of the mud.

After being checked over by a vet, Shay was found to be suffering from shock and minor muscular damage. Owner Humphreys spoke of her gratitude to the attending crews who managed to release Shay thanks to the quality tools they were able to use.

Keep a couple of stable mats on hand for your horse; as Shay’s accident proves, you never know when you might need them!

We think that this robust 100% rubber washdown mat is a sensible addition to your stable; with a heavy-duty open holed frame, this stable matting is designed for muddy areas.

Super strength, this rubber stable mat can withstand extreme temperatures in outdoor use, including icy conditions. A good investment for £44.99.

Grab a couple for those unforeseen emergencies and make use of their versatility as a washdown mat in the meantime. For more options, visit www.stable-mats.com.
