Location: At A Barrel Race!		We are building new stalls, and for the flooring it is lime as of right now.

Do you guys leave lime as bedding? Add shavings? 

I can afford to buy mats, as these are huge stalls. Thanks!

Location: SE Louisiana		Lime works great to help reduce odors... but it needs something on top of it.... Straw or sawdust/shavings, The best I ever saw was rubber mats on a 6 inch base of lime with straw over everything, but you need to keep the stalls clean... We cleaned no less than twice a day.
