Have a question? Try asking one of our Experts

I am building a barn for a couple of pleasure horses. The current barn has sand floors that I replace a couple of times a year. What is the best surface for the horses in both the stalls and the "run-in" portion of the barn?

There a short article located at Equine Facilities—Stall Flooring and Bedding discussing stall flooring. There is also a very good article titled "Horse Facilities 4: Horse Stable Flooring Materials and Drainage" located at http://pubs.cas.psu.edu/freepubs/pdfs/ub036.pdf.
