How to install Riding Chip

Installing your new Riding Chip surface is quick, simple, and requires no specialist skills or equipment. Follow these four easy steps and your arena will be ready to ride the same day.

Step 1: Position the Bags Around the Arena

Using a telehandler or similar machinery, place the bulk bags of Riding Chip evenly around the arena. Use the lifting eyes on each bag to dot them at roughly equal distances, making spreading easier and faster.

Step 2: Empty the Bags

Split or tip each bag to release the contents directly where you want them. The tall, strong bulk bags are designed for easy emptying with no mess or fuss.

Step 3: Spread and Level
the Surface

Spread the Riding Chip evenly across the arena until it’s level throughout. You can hand rake (yes, it really is that easy) or use an excavator for larger arenas.

No specialist knowledge or equipment is needed to achieve a professional finish.

Once spread, Riding Chip is immediately ready for use —
simply spread and ride.

Due to location I was worried I would not get a delivery or would cost me double having smaller delivery vehicles, I arranged else where for delivery to be made via artic to keep my costs down and you were amazing sorting it all out with me! Delivery turned up 15 mins early with a helpful happy driver .

We got the surface from Equipro very fast delivered. Easy to deal with the people and to top it all off the surface rides amazing. Very light and secure footing for the horses. Feels very safe and the horses are very pleased as it doesn't ride heavy.

Thank you for the lovely surface for our indoor arena. It finally got laid down this weekend and we are very happy. Super to ride on, not slippy and I’m sure I will bounce well! Horses feel very steady underfoot
