Regular Posts: 63 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! Edited by Rodeo_Queen_21 2014-10-11 11:18 PM

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.
