Hi Joni,
I spread magnesium chloride (Mag salt) pellets in my indoor and have no
problems with dust or freezing. I do have an overhead sprinkler system that
I use in the Summer, but find that the mag salt keeps the dust down in the
Summer, too, so I don't have to use the sprinkler system that often. The mag
salt has never bothered my horses' feet. Hope this helps. Melissa
