Okay, I live on a ranch and I have a nice big barn that was used for pigs and cattle before we bought it. I own 5 horses two of which are old and need to have shelter since I live in northern alberta and it gets extremly cold in the winters however the floor of my barn is cement and I cannot risk any injuries when trying to get my boys into their stalls which I have spread shavings in. Although i hate the idea of horses on cement and pavement I need them to be warm when the wind kicks in so they do not lose weight. Any tips or hacks to make the cement less slippery and safer?

Rubber mats?

Agreed

This would be the easiest fix

Oh! Wow cannot beleive That never came to mind.

Thankyou!
