Well, here is something I never saw before.  We bought a used stock trailer
that was halfway to being converted to a 3 horse slant.  I was worried that
the floor seemed a little flexy.  So we pulled up the mats and the floor
boards are made of 2x6 shaped solid rubber!  Yeah they are a little flexible
(which the horses do notice) but they are never going to rot!  Has anyone
seen anything like this?
