 HORSE TREAD is a clean, safe, resilient material that absorbs the impact of a riders fall. It is composed of small, irregularly shaped pieces of clean granulated rubber. HORSE TREAD 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 is 99.99% steel free. |
 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 horse's footfalls, and minimizes injuries to a horse's 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. |

| There are different ways of mixing the rubber with sand. The most common mix is ½ HORSE TREAD, and ½ sand combined for a total depth of 2 inches. Uncoated black Rubberific Mulch may also be used as larger more irregularly shaped medium. |
