The best arenas are built with a plan
Excellence, Guidance & Expertise
Assessing whether riding arenas are built to last is crucial. I rely on products chosen by rigorous standards—focusing on material composition, durability, and eco-friendly attributes—to ensure you’re investing in long-term quality and value.
A quality arena is built with layers
Separator layer (mat or mineral)
Base layer (crushed drainage gravel)
Footing layer (with/without fleece)
Base, Separator, and Footing Layer
Drawing from my extensive experience in international equestrian sports, I’ve learned that arenas constructed with a three-layer design reliably handle heavy loads and harsh weather conditions. This approach guarantees a consistently resilient surface, even when demanding high speeds.
Customized Sand Mixtures
Over the years, I’ve witnessed the development of specialized sand blends tailored to meet the diverse needs of various disciplines, ensuring every riding style has its ideal mix.
