It brings visions of a simpler time when horses were ridden down cobblestone streets and Sunday picnics were the norm. But if you could ask your horse how he feels about walking on slippery cement you might rethink your choice in barn aisle material.   ![rubber_pavers](https://www.eastwest-construction.com/hs-fs/hub/310088/file-862727791.jpg) ***Rubber pavers are anti-fatigue which is great for those times your horse (and groom) need to spend hours standing for clipping, grooming and braiding. *** Cement floors and stone pavers may look nice and clean up well but they are also a huge hazard to you horses. Cement is slippery, even if it's not wet. But when it *is* wet it can be like an ice skating rink for horses with shoes. When a horse goes down on cement there's a high probability he will be injured and may exacerbate the situation with repeated attempts of getting back up. Of course the earthen floor may not be the solution either. Traditional dirt floors are hard to keep clean, leave things dusty and/or muddy and just don't offer the same professional look as a more finished floor. What's a barn owner to do?
