First, you're right about anything left on a wood floor will trap moisture and promote rotting. Any slick surface will injure animals trailered on it. I obtained some discarded belting from a coal mine for my horse/combo trailer. It is 3' wide, so two strips the length of the trailer works. This also makes it much easier to drag out of the trailer for cleaning. If you do have T/G flooring, drill some 1/2" holes spaced along the length to allow drainage under the matting. I use 1/4" spaced flooring boards to allow drainage and eliminate humping from the wood swelling when fastened tight together then getting soaked(and it will!). Putting up with your mats may be your best option.
