Projected

The rest of the mats have been secured and delivered. A few of them it took very little effort to drop them into place (last 2 aisle mats). 





These front two still need to be leveled better, but for now everything is cut to fit and down where they belong.  




The two middle mats on the outside portion- this had already been dug out and they could be dropped in place. Bam. Done.

At the time of this pic, the last two for outside needed to be pulled up, the ground leveled underneath and dropped back into place. I, just had to take the time and do it. Thankfully I got it all done before the rain started. Now there is enough room outside for grooming, farriers to work and also a place to rinse or bathe. Everything is sloped to drain and matted so there is no mud to step in. Win! 

The next part of this project is to get some lightweight plastic to put on the lower portion of the stall gates. This will keep the shavings in the stalls and make for a lot less sweeping for me. 


The front of the stalls already have wood between the bottom two rails. This is to keep the shavings in and also keep legs from going thru should a horse lay down too close to the fence. 

After the plastic is on the gates, then the last part is to put some kind of border up around the ends/edges of the mats to keep them all where they belong.  Adding a thin layer of sand under them to keep them leveled would also be optimal.
