At the front of charlie's stable there's a little dip, and ALL the wee runs down into it and he tramples his haylege and throws water down into it.
It's driving me mad!!

so what should I do?

1) change his bedding from straw to shavings.
2) reposition his haynet.
3) put shavings in the dip and put rubber matting over it.

Any ideas?

If possible sort out the uneveness of the floor. If it's a concrete floor rough up the surface & possibly even paint the dip with upva glue to assist so newly mixed concrete to stick to it & fill the dip & smooth it over to even it up. Changing the bedding or filling the dip with shavings will do nothing to resolve the issue. Good Luck
