STATE EQUESTRIAN CENTRE - NEWS
11/04/2019
SEC INDOOR ARENA SURFACE TOP UP
The Indoor arena received a top up last week due to the arena surface depth reducing over the past years to a level that was close to exposing the limestone base.
The top up involved the addition of 40mm of sand and 6 bales of Soiltex fibre. The arena was first levelled to ensure the original surface was evenly spread, then the sand was added to a depth of 40mm and levelled followed by spreading the Soiltex fibre.
Adding the fibre required mixing of the surface with a “Harley rake” as the fibre initially wants to clump together. The mixing has the effect of loosening the surface, once the fibre had been mixed it required several days of harrowing with tynes to ensure an even distribution of the fibre again tending to loosen the surface.
Now that the fibre and sand are mixed evenly we are in the process of watering and rolling the surface more heavily to increase the compaction to a level greater that we had previously. This will ensure the Indoor has a consistent riding surface.
