It must be getting on for 6 years ago when my mum tried rubber matting in the stables. I wasn't into riding then but I remember it well as she used to come home stinking of wee! The smell clung to everything.
... Anyway, recently as I now have my own horse to look after I've been looking into matting again, as it will cut the cost of bedding that has gone up again and also it will be easier on our little ponys legs who shares a stable with mine.
I've mentioned it to my mum but she thinks we'll have the same problems as last time. But thinking back the rubber matting before wasn't sealed and the concrete floor in the old stables wasn't very even. The owners handyman has since layed a new floor which is slightly better.
So getting back to the question. Do any of you find your rubber matting smelly? Was the problem before the fact that the matting wasn't sealed?
Thanks
