Sand is the foundation of every good footing. But not every sand is suitable for riding arenas. When installing a new arena surface, the question arises if you really save money by choosing cheaper sand. The right sand is certainly a good investment and we are happy to consult you.

There is an enormous variety of sand qualities out there. The combination of all these sand quality factors decides whether the sand is suitable as footing or not. Sand which is well suited for an indoor riding arena might be completely unsuitable for an all-weather outdoor riding arena. Choosing the wrong sand can create a lot of problems and in the long run can be very expensive.

Sand impacts the condition of the surface. If the surface is hard, the horse will shorten its stride to minimize jarring and modify his jumping form to avoid the sting of landing. Hard footing will also stress his joints. If it's too soft, it'll strain his soft tissues - tendons, ligaments and muscles. If the footing is slippery, the horse will feel insecure, so the horse will move cautiously.

Good footing is safer for your horse and boosts his confidence.
