Rubber Horse Arena Crumb

 

Overview:

Horse Tread is a clean, safe, resilient material that absorbs the impact of riders fall.  It is composed of small, irregularly shaped pieces of clean granulated rubber that does not deteriorate, does not need to be constantly replaced, and will last indefinitely.

Horse Tread allows the pore space in the arena footing to remain open, allowing water through the riding surface, rather than staying on top.  This movement keeps the riding surface damp, thus, controlling the dust, which is especially important in a dry climate.

Horse Tread makes an indubitable difference: in a hardness study of arena surfaces, the addition of rubber was found to make the surface much more forgiving than an all sand arena.  The elastic property of Horse Tread translates into a resilient surface that cushions a horses footfalls, and minimizes injuries to a horses tendons and joints, allowing for increased training time.

Horse Tread can be used indoors or outdoors in arenas, jumping stadiums, tracks and trails.  An equestrian arena must have a resilient surface providing good traction, and protection to a horse.  Horse Tread is the ideal application for all equestrian surfaces.
