Donna,
Just wanted to give you an update on my stall mats. Once I had the 8" of
trap rock screenings in and compacted three times. Setting the mats in only
took 1 hour 20 minutes. They went in like butter and fit better than you
would believe, like a glove, 100% perfect the first time. I am so glad you
had me measure them over and check it twice. They are the best investment
I have made in the barn since building it.
Thank you so much for your expertise. I know that without it I would have
had to do it more than once to get it right.

Dear Donna,
Regarding the stall mats we purchased from you, we find them to be completely
satisfactory. We installed them last year over dirt floors and the clean-up time has
been greatly reduced.
In addition, less bedding material is required. We're sure the horses are more
comfortable on these mats due to their resiliency. So far no problems with durability,
but we are sure of a lasting surface.
Sincerely,
Lyn & Tom Bonacum
Dear White Haven Farm,
I bought a house with a 2 stall barn in the backyard. One stall had clay and the other
stall had a cement floor with some really poor mats in it. I went on a search for
the best mats with the best prices. White Haven Farm had the best mats at the best
prices.
I installed them in the cement stall six months ago. It's so easy to clean the stall
and I'm using less shavings. I like them so much that I'm going to put the mats in
the clay stall as well.
Thank you, White Haven Farm,
Michelle Hatstat
We are delighted with the quality and workmanship provided by White Haven Farm. They
installed our wall to wall mats over two years ago and they look as good as the day
they were installed.

Forget clay, stone dust, or concrete; Donna's rubber mats are the
Bur BurTM carpet of the horse world!
Rubber mats = a clean stall - no more mixing of shavings and the flooring material
that makes a stall look dirty even when its clean. I've never left Donna's farm with
a product I wasn't thrilled with when I got home!

We use White Haven Farm mats at our Lusitano Horse Breeding Farm in Grafton, MA. They
were not only the best price, but are extremely durable. They were delivered promptly
and the installation was excellent with very friendly service.

Hi Donna,
I bought my first mats in October 1996 and installed them myself. They have done
their job and I have basically "forgotten" about them. That means they are just
fine with no worries, repairs, or fixing!

White Haven Farm is the greatest - we have been doing business with them for
years - starting with our need for 2 stall mats - we didn't quite know where to
find any - we looked through the Yankee Pedlar - saw many large full page ads -
then a small ad - Donna White - White Haven Farm - Updon, MA. I gave her a call
and that was it. Donna and her husband, Bill, are definitely professionals. They
know their business. Their mats are exceptional. Their workmanship exceptional.
What more can you ask for? They are the 1st class when it comes to the needs of
the people in the horse industry. Go see them. You won't have to go anywhere else.
White Haven Farm has now completed the installation of all our wash stalls, regular
stalls, and the new O.R. mat stalls.

Here at Blue Sky Ranch one of our horses had a very serious colic this past fall. When he came home from the animal hospital he had to be in a stall for a solid month and then only on limited turnout for another month. To make the job of cleaning his stall easier, we wanted to put in rubber mats. Donna White was extremely understanding and helpful. The installation was completed in a timely manner, since he was coming home in less than a week. The mats have worked out wonderfully. I can't imagine what the stall would have been like to clean with only a clay floor. Since then we have done other business with White Haven Farm and it has always been a pleasure. The exceptional service and honest input that we have received has been greatly appreciated. White Haven Farm is a good and caring business that has the customers best interests at heart.
Sincerely,
Kathy Shepard & all of us here at Blue Sky Ranch
When researching stall mats to be placed in my 5 stall horse barn, I contacted a
multitude of companies and dealers involved with selling and/or installing them.
When I visited White Haven Farm, Donna White spent 2 1/2 hours with me explaining
all the different facets of stall mats, materials and installation processes. I was
impressed with her willingness to share that information so that I could make an
informed decision on the purchase. I did not want the mats to pull up as I had seen
them do at so many other barns. After reviewing all of that and doing some more
research, I decided to purchase the 25 mats required to complete my barn and to also
have White Haven Farm do the installation. (I did the floor preparation.)
On the appointed day in October, my mats were installed in 5 hours and left open to
dry the caulking for 24 hours. It has been three months since the mats replaced the
clay floors and I appreciate them every day. Stall cleaning is quicker and more
efficient. There are no more drops in the floor due to excess wear. The mats show
no sign of lifting or the caulk breaking down, even in the sub-zero weather we have
experienced.
Thank you Donna! My horses thank you too!

Dear Donna,
I don't think I could say enough great things about White Haven Farm Rubber Mats.
In my 2-horse barn, they make stall cleaning fast and easy, plus are more "sanitary"
than clay floors. In the aisle/grooming area, the mats are comfortable for us all to
stand on and for me to kneel on. In my large animal x-ray room at work, the tight-fitting,
expertly-installed mats make a safe, non-skid, clean footing for my patients (sick, injured,
often very lame). A+++.
