Durable Horse Stall Flooring Solutions
Groundmaster Equine has been dedicated to revolutionizing equine flooring solutions since 1987. Founded by Jan Pearson, a seasoned equine industry professional, our product was born from firsthand experience managing a large horse facility where traditional flooring options proved inadequate. Our stall flooring system, the only flexible one-piece soil stabilization product globally, was designed to address the health and maintenance challenges associated with rubber mats and dirt floors. Under the leadership of Andy and Robyn Burelle since 2015, we continue to prioritize innovation, durability, and horse welfare. Our flooring reduces bedding costs by up to 20%, prevents urine pooling, and minimizes joint strain for horses, as evidenced by decades of use in facilities ranging from private barns to university research centers.Backed by testimonials from veterinarians and equine experts, our product has maintained its integrity in continuous use since installation, with some installations exceeding 30 years. We remain a family-owned business committed to providing eco-friendly, cost-effective solutions that enhance both horse comfort and owner efficiency. Our team combines deep industry expertise with hands-on experience in equine care and facility management, ensuring our products meet the highest standards of quality and practicality.

Horse Stall Flooring
Groundmaster's horse stall flooring provides a natural, permeable surface that reduces bedding costs by up to 20%. Unlike rubber mats, our one-piece design prevents urine pooling while maintaining stable footing. The lightweight HDPE material resists curling and shifting, offering 35+ years of proven durability in breeding facilities and research centers.
Paddock Flooring
Our permeable paddock flooring system combines soil stabilization with equine comfort. The flexible surface mimics natural ground conditions while preventing mud accumulation. Ideal for high-traffic areas, it requires minimal maintenance and withstands continuous use in both private and commercial facilities.
Alley Flooring
Designed for high-traffic alleyways, this flooring solution prevents erosion while maintaining drainage. The non-slip surface ensures safe footing for horses and handlers, with seamless installation that resists displacement under heavy use in breeding and training facilities.
Soil Stabilization
Our proprietary soil stabilization technology locks aggregate material in place while allowing natural drainage. This prevents uneven surfaces and compaction issues, maintaining level footing in stalls, paddocks, and exercise areas without impeding soil aeration.
Installation Kits
Complete installation kits include custom-cut flooring and anchoring components for professional results. The lightweight design allows easy handling, with detailed instructions ensuring proper base preparation and long-term performance validated by university research studies.
