I've seen just about everything used as flooring material for Horse Stalls... rock, dirt, sand, gravel, cement, wood, pavers and rubber mats.

What are the pros and cons of different stall floors and should they be sloped with a drain or to a drain?

I'm leveling out a hillside pad for a small 2 stall barn with storage for hay and tack. Thinking of incorporating a 4 to 5' high retaining wall along the hillside as part of the back wall...

My nieces are crazy about horses and I'm the only one with city zoning that allows up to 2 horses on my property...

Getting it through the Home Owners association is another thing. All detached accessory buildings are prohibited... the only exception is horse stables for owner's private use.
