Need to make a concrete floor non skid for a horse?
I am in a pinch. We jsut bought this farm and until we build a big barn we have to put our horses in a mechincal shed with a concrete floor. The concrete floor is smooth and the horses with their shoes will no doubt slip and slide. My question is what is the best recommendation for turning a slick concrete floor into a not skid floor. That I can perform myself. Where can I get the equipment with out hiring it done. It is only about 20 by 40 floor so it can be done in a weekend. Let me know your thoughts and ideas would be welcome. With in reason.
Answer: Go to the local farm co-op and ask for a rubber horse stall mat. They are made from finely shredded old tires pressed into mats 1/2, 5/8, 3/4 inches thick.
They are used in horse stalls and horse trailers to prevent the horse from slipping. They can be hosed clean without the horse slipping on the wet mat.
