Belmondo – High-Quality Rubber Solutions for the Barn

Mud and erosion are part of life around horse barns. Areas near doorways, gates, and waterers often see the most traffic—and the most wear—leaving footing uneven, slippery, and sometimes hazardous for both horses and handlers.

To address those common problem spots, Belmondo produces the Flix mud control mat, a heavy-duty outdoor mat designed specifically for equine environments. Measuring 4 by 6 feet and made from vulcanized rubber, the Flix mat helps stabilize high-traffic areas where footing tends to deteriorate. The mats feature a textured, slip-resistant surface and an open underside structure that allows water and mud to disperse, helping reduce pooling and surface breakdown.

One feature that makes the Flix mat especially practical is its flexibility in installation. The mats can be placed directly over grass, gravel, or mud without requiring a prepared subsurface. They are weatherproof, UV-resistant, and built to handle daily barn traffic from horses, equipment, and vehicles. In many barns, they become part of a broader erosion-control or footing-management plan.

Belmondo’s product line extends well beyond mud control. The company produces rubber flooring designed for stalls, wash bays, walkways, horse walkers, trailer ramps, recovery pens, slopes, and other working areas around the barn.

One of the most widely used products is the Belmondo Trend stall mat, designed as a stall mattress. The one-inch-thick mat features a grid pattern on the underside that creates an air cushion for added comfort. A virgin rubber top surface provides traction and durability, while the four interlocking sides allow the mats to fit tightly together and stay flat once installed. Many barns find that stall mats also help reduce bedding usage while providing a more comfortable standing and resting surface for horses.

Belmondo rubber products are manufactured in Germany by Kraiburg, which has been producing rubber flooring for more than 50 years. The company focuses on high-quality rubber compounds made with natural rubber and plant-based oils, avoiding textile fabrics, chalk, and other fillers often used in lower-grade rubber products.

In the Northeast, Weaverline, based in Narvon, Pennsylvania, distributes Belmondo mats to farms and equestrian facilities and carries multiple styles of the flooring. For more information, call 877-464-1025 or visit weaverline.com.
