Sportrack Pro-Fibres

Adding surface stabilising fibres to a riding arena offers significant benefits for both horse and rider. While sand provides a good foundation, it is often not sufficient on its own—particularly for jumping or intensive work—as it can become unstable, inconsistent, or excessively deep.

Sand naturally absorbs water, which can cause the surface to loosen and create a “deep ride,” where the horse moves through the footing rather than on top of it. By incorporating synthetic stabilising fibres, the sand is reinforced, creating a more supportive and consistent surface that enables the horse to perform safely and efficiently.

These fibres are manufactured from durable, environmentally approved synthetic materials and are mixed directly into the sand. They improve drainage while retaining the right level of moisture, helping to maintain a firm, reliable surface in all weather conditions. By forming an advanced “root structure” within the sand, the fibres enhance stability, reduce surface movement, and minimise the risk of injury.

A well-stabilised arena not only improves performance but also increases rider confidence, as horses feel more secure and balanced on a consistent surface. For dedicated riders, this allows for effective, year-round training—even during colder or frosty conditions.

Sportrack offers an environmentally friendly solution with its Pro-Fibres, designed to meet a range of arena requirements and specifications.
