We insulated our barn with the spray on foam. Really made a difference. Every few years white wash it.

Kills alot of bugs. Brightens it up.

We have sand, than dirt, peat moss, than wood pellets, so easy to clean. Helps draining.

Now when they foal we only use straw, no hay or shaving or pellets, not good for the babies.

Hope this helps.

The two barns we've had over the years have had a dirt base floor with a layer of sand and gravel for drainage. Then, on top of that, we put rubber matts. The rubber matts save a lot of headaches with cleanup and they provide a soft footing for the horses.
