Our arena sand products have been in the market for over three years. We now have three grades of sand for horse arena surfaces with slightly different properties.

There are a number of factors to consider when selecting the correct sand for a horse arena surface. Almost every arena design and local environment is different and factors such as base construction, drainage system, site location and rainfall criteria should all be taken into consideration when choosing a surface material.

We can supply three grades of sand that will meet most requirements.

EQ1 – A clean white fine sand. This sand grade was originally developed for customers wanting a product similar to grades used in European arenas. This grade can be used with or without other footing materials and is normally applied at around 80 mm in depth. Has good drainage capability with hydraulic conductivity of 500 mm/hr.

EQ2 – A coarser white sand suitable for mixing with other footing materials and all round applications.  Has less than 5% shell content and excellent hydraulic conductivity of 652 mm/hr. Is normally applied at 75-100 mm in depth.

EQ3 – A mix of sand particles and crushed shell. Can be used “neat’ or can be mixed with other footing materials. The hydraulic conductivity of this product is 1,200 mm/hr. Normal application is at 75 - 100 mm depth.

Particle shape, cleanliness and durability - All EQ sand’s have been screened and washed and are free of clay and silt particles. Our products are entirely free of pumice and the particle shape is classified as angular to sub angular.
