Constructing a High-Traffic Pad

This video demonstrates how to construct a high-traffic pad in a horse dry lot. High-traffic pads are useful for improving drainage in areas prone to water and mud accumulation. This video stars University of Minnesota equine experts Drs. Krishona Martinson and Aubrey Jaqueth.

Well done and helpful. A bit much to do for one person but very good information.

How much does it cost to build 1m2 in dollars?
Is it the ideal floor for building a horse pasture?

[@UMNExtEquine]

Estimated costs are covered starting at the 6:48 mark in the video. This is not something you would install in a pasture. This is ideal for a dry lot, feeding area, around gates, or inside a shelter.

Are areas like this okay for unshod horses?

[@UMNExtEquine]

Yes, high traffic pads can be used to house unshod horses.
