Product Features
Top surface hoof grip
Round raised profiles allow maximum hoof contact and grip whilst allowing drainage of liquids for a drier footing.
Strong underside design
Strong cross linked ridges designed to grip the ground and hold the mat firm in the soil with minimal movement.
Large size = limited movement
Semi flexible material follows the contours of the ground and significantly reduces the risk of sinking mats!
Benefits to your horse
More time outside
Mud no longer needs to restrict social time with conspecifics which is vital for mental wellbeing of every horse
More movement
Less restrictions by mud and being outside means your horses move a whole lot more, boosting every part of the body
No more mud!
Horses often choose to walk on the HIT Top Clean mats to get to their destination! The unique design of the mats helps to clean the hooves, reducing the risks of injury.
Benefits to you
Access land all year round
Poo picking, fencing maintenance or feed transporting no longer requires traversing a muddy rutted track.
Better land management
Mud and rain no longer makes the decisions for you. Plan paddock rest and management always knowing the horses can still go out safely all year round.

Installation Guide
- Level the existing surface by hand or machine and fill in any ruts or hollows in the ground. For best results leave a 1 to 2% slope for surface drainage.
- Loosen and level the soil with a rake or machine. Backfill with soil or small aggregate to fully support the underside of the mats and ensure they sit flat as possible.
- Lay the mats with a 1-2cm gap in a masonry configuration (the mats should easily imprint into the loose surface). Do not install over deep ruts or allow the mats be become unsupported underneath. Cut to fit with a saw where necessary.
- Optionally, spread a layer of sand over the mats (15-18kg of sand per mat to cover the surface).
If the area you are looking to cover is prone to waterlogging or you expect to regularly drive heavy vehicles over it, we recommend installing a sub-base for longevity. Please contact us for further advice if this is your situation.
FAQ
As the HIT Top Clean mats are semi flexible they will follow undulations on the ground. The mats must never be installed over ruts in the ground. Levelling the soil allows the underside of the mat to grip the surface and remain firm. A slight slope will aid the drainage of rain water.
This step is very important to allow the entire underside of the mat to “grip” the ground. HIT Top Clean mats should never be installed on hard/dry ground or over ruts/holes. An aggregate layer is optional but we strongly recommend it for longevity and stability of the surface particularly with heavy horses and vehicles. Failure to prepare the ground correctly could result in the mats cracking or breaking from lack of support.
Gaps allow for drainage between the mats and a small amount of expansion room. This is more important if you’re covering a large area in the mats.
