This farm uses asphalt for a stall floor which is actually a perfect stall floor because of good hoof traction, it is softer than you think when covered with deep straw, and very easy to clean. Cleaning it thoroughly every day is essential in it working well as a stall floor.

Honeycomb flooring is laid flat on top of a stone dust base and filled with stone dust. This owner hates this flooring because the stone dust is replaced with bedding that can't be removed without picking out each hole. This leaves uring soaked bedding. Her solution is to cover the honeycomb with rubber mats.
This stall floor is made of 2x6's on end. At the stall door you can see the spacers made of 2x6's on end for about 6 inches. The gap is filled with bedding material. I was unable to determine if there was stone dust between the boards with only a top layer of bedding or if there was some other strategy.
This stall floor is made of 2x6's on end. It is hard to see here, but 1) there is a central 4 inch section of wood running perpendicular to the 2x6's across the stall dividing the floor into 2 sections and 2) the top edge of the boards have become worn with soft edges. The bedding looks dirty but there was no urine odor detected. I like wood flooring because it is soft yet firm for the horse to stand on, but I dislike how slippery they are and how urine gets trapped below the boards. This arrangement seems to be a solution to both of these problems.
