OK I am moving yards so I cant resolve this as the hassle would not be worth it. But my horses bed gets worse as the weeks go by.

1) My stable floor is like the Himalayas with Rubber matting on top so thats not a good start.

This side of my bed gets very wet but it is where his lordships pee patch is however over the last few weeks it has got much worse.

On the Right hand side the Breeze block wall has two pony stables backing on to it at right angles.

The yard moved all the school ponies from shavings to straw last year. The current straw is very coarse and I looked into the ponies stables today and realise their floors are bad and all the pee collects along the back wall in a sort of pee lake.
This must run under the wall and collect under my matting and in my shavings!!

YUKKY!!!!!
 
I had a similar problem at a yard i was out and the pee all collected in a massive puddle in my stable that i had to hose out each day. The stables either side had rubber matting that was blocking the drainage system. Luckily got to move stables as soon as another was available. Good luck with your move and hope you have a dried bed from now on!
