It gets stained from urine, sawdust shavings, and manure. Of course, I'm sure they keep the stall extra clean, but horses will be horses, and they ALWAYS find ways to get dirty. Well, most of them do anyway. I had a few horses that stayed pretty clean all of the time, but the majority love to go find the dirtiest spot and roll whether they are in their paddock or in their stall. It almost never fails to happen.
