Questions About Our Riding Surfaces
What Vehicle Will Deliver My Riding Surface?
A topper riding surface is whereby you add a top layer of surface to a preexisting surface. This is most commonly added to sand surfaces, which many find rides too deep or holds water and a topper riding surface helps to reduce or eliminate these problems.
What Is A Standalone Riding Surface?
A standalone riding surface is when a surface is applied directly to the membrane without a preexisting surface being in place. This is usually a more cost effective option and provides a better riding experience.
Do Your Surfaces Freeze?
All of our riding surfaces contain synthetic fibres meaning that they do not freeze (up to -5). However, what does freeze is the water surrounding them. This is true for whatever surface is used. Our riding surfaces help reduce and inhibit the surface from freezing.
Do I Mix In Your Surfaces Or Lay Them On Top?
It’s completely up to, our surfaces work great however laid. It’s up to you how you and what the desired ride you require of your surface.
How Do I Lay Your Surfaces?
We would recommend evenly distributing the bags of surface around the arena before then splitting the bags open or tipping them over to remove the surface from the bag. You can then either lay the surface by hand or using machinery.
What Maintenance Do Your Surfaces Need?
Our Riding Chip and Superior Fibre need virtually no maintenance, only a general poo-pick. Our Fist-Class Fibre will need harrowing on occasion, however this will need doing infrequently and will depend on how heavily the surface is used.
Can I Add Your Surfaces To A Sand Arena?
Yes!
What Depth Is A Topper Riding Surface?
- Light Topper – A light topper riding surface is estimated at approximately 25/50mm or 1/2 inches
- Regular Topper – A regular topper riding surface is estimated at approximately 50/76mm or 2/3 inches
What Depth Is A Standalone Riding Surface?
- Regular Standalone – A standalone riding surface estimated at approximately 100mm/ 150mm or 4/6 inches
- Deep Standalone – A heavy standalone riding surface estimated at approximately 150/205mm or 6/ 8 inches
We Have A Rubber Surface, Can I Mix In Your Surfaces?
Both our Superior Fibre and Riding Chip have a similar aesthetic to rubber so would be ideal to top up or lay over an existing rubber surface. Our surfaces aid in providing better traction for the horse and help prevent surface loss from the flicking effect created by the horse’s hooves.
