Why Silica Sand is the Top Choice for Your Horse Arena

At Mainland Aggregates, we recognise that the quality of the surface material is paramount to the success of any horse arena. That's why we proudly offer our clients a choice between Economy and Premium Silica Sand options, each meticulously crafted to meet the specific requirements of equestrian surfaces. Our dedication to delivering high-grade aggregates ensures that your horse arena not only serves as a riding space but also as a safe, comfortable, and high-performing environment for both horse and rider. Introducing Our Economy Silica Sand Our Economy Silica Sand caters to 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 perfect when used alongside other materials like fibre or rubber chip to prevent excessive compaction. Particularly beneficial during dry spells, this sand's performance is enhanced with moisture, promoting a firmer ride. While Economy Silica Sand offers a budget-friendly option, it requires additional upkeep, such as regular watering and blending with other products, to maintain optimal conditions. The Excellence of Premium Silica Sand For clients who demand the highest standards in equestrian surface materials, our Premium Silica Sand stands as the unrivalled choice. Characterised by its fine sub-angular grains, this sand offers superior drainage and enhanced compaction, vital for any top-tier horse arena. These angular grains interlock to create a surface that strikes a balance between firmness for stability and suppleness for joint and tendon protection. Washed and graded to eliminate impurities, Premium Silica Sand epitomises quality, ensuring a safe and dependable surface for equestrian excellence. Pre-mixed Fibre Sand (with Premium Silica Sand) Opting for Pre-Mixed Fibre Sand for your arena or track brings numerous benefits straight to your doorstep. Firstly, you can bypass the inconvenience and expense of on-site mixing with heavy machinery, reducing the risk of damaging sensitive underlayers. Additionally, pre-mixed fibre sand offers consistent blending throughout, unlike self-mixing, where the quality may only reach the top layers. Keeping it adequately moist is the key to maximising performance, a straightforward approach that ensures your surface is primed for action with minimal hassle.
