Equestrian Rubber Surfacing
Safer Surfacing Equestrian rubber
Having invested significant time and effort in creating your ideal equestrian arena, you will want to make sure you have a perfect riding surface.
The traditional arena or menage topping can be silica sand, which initially looks good and rides well, but after heavy use or prolonged periods of rain, you may find it riding too deep, with the creation of ruts and pits.
This is where our recycled equestrian rubber surface truly comes into its own. Used as a top up material specifically for arenas and menages, Safer Surfacing equestrian rubber is an ideal solution.

Safer Surfacing manufactures the equestrian tyre rubber by recycling end-of-life vehicle tyres. We use a shredding and granulating process to produce an 8-20mm chip. Our rubber chippings are 99% wire free and make an ideal riding surface.
This product is dense and is, therefore, robust. The product also contains some fibre and fines, which help with the material structure.
Our equestrian tyre rubber is available in the following options:
- 600kg bulk bag
