Grooving concrete

Does anyone have experience of putting anti-slip grooves into worn concrete? The problem is in a livery stables with aisles about six feet wide between the boxes. I'm told they had grooves ground in a few decades ago. I can find machines on the web that would be suitable for extended areas like a cattle yard but these would only be able to do longitudinal grooves here, and you need transverse ones. It seems to me that diamond disks used in either a normal or a large angle grinder would be too narrow. I doubt if "industrial" epoxy paint would stand up to shod horses. The problem has come to light after removal of rubber matting which had become badly split and torn. Replacement matting is obviously another option, but I'm not sure the owner would stump up.

You'd have to glue the magnets in, or they'd get attached to the horses feet.
