Equivia All-Weather Arena Surfaces

At Equivia, we pride ourselves on being able to manufacture a complete range of high quality, adaptable, yet affordable riding arena surfaces. We understand that your riding surface needs are as unique as your horses.  We are therefore delighted to be able to not only offer our standardised range of all-weather surfaces, but also a bespoke surface offering, tailored to your own specific requirements.

Manufactured at our premises in Somerset, Equivia lends itself to a variety of uses, such as:

 

  • Indoor and outdoor arenas
  • Lunge and round pens
  • Gallop and canter tracks

 

Equivia surfaces are a combination of the finest Silica sand and, new clean chopped polypropylene, fibres that can be supplied waxed or unwaxed. We work with you, our clients, to find the right solution for your requirements, even if that means we need to achieve a more bespoke surface.

 

When used in an outdoor environment, if maintained correctly, these unique blends are designed to be long-lasting and free draining.

Equivia Fibremix

Equivia Fibremix is a blended un-waxed sand and fibre surface.

The fibre content creates a ‘root structure’ and therefore enables a greater energy return compared to sand along, or sand and rubber.  If maintained correctly, horses are able to work on top of the surface, rather cut into it too deeply, which in turn creates a more stable surface.

  • Must be kept moist
  • Has excellent moisture retention qualities
  • Suitable for indoor and outdoor arenas
  • Improves energy return compared to sand alone
  • Mimics a more natural surface due to the fibre content
  • Cost effective

Equivia Stabilising Fibre

Equivia Stabilising fibres can significantly improve the performance of any riding or training arena.

When added to straight sand, or other dry arena surfaces, Equivia stabilising fibres can transform tired surfaces by enhancing consistency of going, improving energy return and maximising stability underfoot.

  • Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use
  • Clean post-industrial polypropylene fibres, i.e. not re-used materials
  • Increased longevity compared to natural fibres
