Hello, we have always had a concrete barn floor and use rubber mats in the stalls. It's worked wonderfully, but we're on a quest to try and make our barn more efficient. In the winter time we have to drag matts around to make a walkway for the minis with snowy hooves so they dont slip. I was wondering if anyone has used the rubber pavers that I've seen advertised. I've never seen a barn with them used though. Also, we are having some issues getting our boys turned out regularly enough (another post!) but would like to still keep them but dont have the facilities for 24/7 turnout. Is there anything to do except for breaking up the concrete in the barn to make it suitable to double as an open barn/run-in? I don't know the price but I would imagine that it would cost a fortune. I've seen that the rubber pavers are even used at race tracks and are really thick so I didn't know if they would work as flooring as a small shelter area. Would you think there would be a huge difference between a run in barn with rubber floors as opposed to them standing on rubber mats in their stalls?
