Default Stall Mats

I have been checking into all types of stall mats as it seems to be a better system for long term care for your horse.

If we are going to stand on our feet all day and a great portion of it in a rather small barn stall I am thinking of purchasing a good mat system.

So I guess my question is what system has worked for others. And what preperation needs to be done. I have read one were they suggested to rip out all the way to clean dirt. Then a light gravel and then a smaller stone. No I have laid rock for roads and other pathways and it always seems to "move" or settle without heavy packing of the rock.

I don't want to have all this work and then have to go back in a remove the top bedding over the mats. And move those mats. Some of the heavy guage mats are really well heavy.

Thanks again.
