I have a similiar situation, with tounge-in-groove stalls. I've left the
wood unsealed mostly out of laziness, but I justify it by professing
ignorance. I too would welcome anyone's suggestions.

Subject: Stall sealer/paint?
This message is from: "Teressa" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
I'm just finishing up my new, nice barn and need to know if it is safe to
seal the wood used for the stalls. They are tongue and groove and are
left
natural right now. Is it safe to seal the wood where they would have the
access to chew on it? My horses are not cribbers but if there is food
flavor or salt flavor, they will lick a piece of wood or whatever is
carrying the smell.
Are there brands or types of seal that would be better than others?
Thanks for the help. Teressa Kandianis in Ferndale, WA
Ps - I took my 3 fjords to Moses Lake and had the most fun I've ever had
at
a show. The big separate drive/ride warm up arenas were great. The
indoor
arena was fabulous with very good footing, a concession stand, great
loudspeaker system there, office in there, well lit, good staging area. A
very safe venue. There were lots of water hose bibs everywhere, lots of
electrical hookups, I think 16 separate wash racks with plenty of hose
bibs.
Shade in the trailer parking area. Very pleasant for me and my horses.
Volunteers showed up as we drove in - brought my bales of shavings right
to
the stalls. My Nina was a pill as usual - but the big driving warm up
arena
allowed us to blow off some steam and kept her from being over the top and
we took first in both Open Pleasure Driving and Reinsmanship. She was
fabulous - forward and on the bit and nice extension in her road trot.

F said I was actually smiling during my classes. I await Dan Watanabe's
pictures to confirm that.
And best of all - it was an easy haul from Ferndale - about 5 or 6 hours.
Easy on me and my horses. The Show chairman and committee were well
organized and the volunteers were all great as well. I'll be there next
year.
