Why Silica Sand is the Top Choice for Your Horse Arena
At Mainland Aggregates, we understand that the foundation of any great horse arena lies in the quality of its surface material. This is why we proudly offer our clients both Economy and Premium Silica Sand options, each tailored to meet the nuanced needs of equestrian surfaces. Our commitment to providing high-quality aggregates ensures that your horse arena is not just a place for riding but a safe, comfortable, and high-performing environment for both horse and rider.
Introducing Our Economy Silica Sand
Our Economy Silica Sand is designed for those seeking a cost-effective yet functional solution for their equestrian surfaces. With a fine blend of rounded and sub-rounded grains, this sand is ideal when used in conjunction with other materials such as fibre or rubber chip to prevent deep riding. Especially beneficial in dry periods, this sand's performance is enhanced with moisture, encouraging a firmer ride. While Economy Silica Sand offers a budget-friendly option, it's important to note that it requires additional management, such as regular watering and mixing with other products, to maintain optimal conditions.
The Excellence of Premium Silica Sand
For clients demanding the highest standards in equestrian surface materials, our Premium Silica Sand is the unparalleled choice. Characterised by its fine sub-angular grains, this sand provides superior drainage and improved compaction, essential for any top-tier horse arena. These angular grains interlock to create a surface that combines firmness for stability with enough give to protect joints and tendons. Washed and graded to remove any impurities, Premium Silica Sand is the epitome of quality, ensuring a safe and reliable surface for equestrian excellence.
Pre-mixed Fibre Sand (with Premium Silica Sand)
Choosing Pre-Mixed Fibre Sand for your arena or track brings a handful of solid benefits right to your doorstep. For starters, you can skip the hassle and expense of mixing it on site with heavy machinery, which also means you won't accidentally damage any sensitive underlayers. Plus, when you go with pre-mixed, you get a blend that's consistent all the way through. Unlike mixing it yourself, where the good stuff might only reach the top couple of inches, pre-mixed Fibre Sand is even from top to bottom. And here's a pro tip: keeping it moist is the secret to getting the best performance out of your Fibre Sand surface. It's an approach that's not just smart but also straightforward, ensuring your surface is ready for action with minimal fuss.
