Happy New Year from the Springride Team


Arena Solutions for the New Year:



The following article addresses the most common Arena problems: The solutions are simpler and less costly than you might think:

Arena not draining well and lacking Spring.

Summer is coming, and perhaps your arena is looking a little sorry for itself. It's time to do something about it. If your sand is ok but just a little tired the answer may lie in the simple step of adding a sand improver. Springride C2 16mm springs to mind as the ideal solution to this problem. Add approximately one tonne per 60sqm and rotovate in. Alternatively just lay and leave your horses to do the rotovating.

This will improve the sand composition, aid drainage and add a little bounce. Once rotovated in, roll daily until the surface is nicely settled. That's it, a cheap yet extremely effective way to liven up your arena without spending a fortune.

Sand draining well but needs added spring

So your arena looks OK and drainage is good but it’s riding rather dead. First prepare your sand by levelling and rolling, then lay 25mm Chip on top at a rate of one tonne per 40sqm. Springride produce a premium chip, tried and tested for over 12 years.
 
There are some great reviews available to read here>
 
Springride comes in bags, so you can position them evenly on your arena, split or tip the bags and spread to an even depth. Take extra care to ensure the sand is completely level, you don’t want to lay the rubber in tracks or pits. Once laying is complete, level and roll daily until settled. You won’t be able to believe the huge improvement to your arena and
your equines performance!.

Deep riding Sand:

This is one of the most common problems and generally occurs as a result of over engineered drainage and/or the wrong sand. You should source a fine to medium, angular silica sand and lay to a depth of 100mm if topping with a rubber surface. However, if you already have deep riding sand then luckily there is a solution:
 
Springride designed a new and unique surface 5 years ago  Springride Shredtex -  We tested over a period of 18 months before marketing. It has become very popular and is proven to stabilise and significantly improve deep riding sand. 

Email info@springride.com or phone on 0845 6021524.
 
It works because the specifically shaped unique composition of rubber backed textile, anchors into the top sand layer to create a stable surface, whilst also reducing kick back, banking, tracking and of course maintenance.
 
Springride Shredtex works well for all equine training but is particularly ideal for dressage arena’s. Prepare your sand by levelling and compacting with a vibrating roller.
Position the bags evenly on the sand, one bag per 50sqm. It is best to lay by hand using forks to ensure sand remains as undisturbed as possible AND to ensure an even depth. Roll as often as possible over the next few weeks to help the Shredtex stabilise your sand.

Indoor School - dry and dusty

This is a very common problem with indoor schools, even with a sprinkler system in place the problem can continue. Prepare your sand by levelling and rolling, it is also helpful to thoroughly wet the sand prior to laying a top dressing. We always recommended Springride Shredtex for indoor arenas.  Here’s why it works. It’s produced from a specific blend of rubber and textiles designed to anchor into the sand whilst also retaining moisture, you should lay it on a 75-100mm sand base and roll as often as possible in the first few weeks. You’ll be amazed at the difference. Shredtex can also be used outdoors.

The Springride Team hope all of our readers, customers and potential customers, well actually we hope 'everyone' has had a Happy and peaceful Christmas.  :-)

We're back filling bags (not stockings) with our wonderful Rubber Surfaces.  We know they're wonderful because with our Equestrian background and after more than 25 years in the business we know what our customers need from their Riding Arena's, Walkers, Round pens, Gallops or even just turn out areas.

We don't cold call and we don't hard sell, what we do do is ensure we give the best advice for each individual customers' needs.  For example, if you have a very compacted sand school, then we know you should add our C2 economy mix to the sand, rotovate in and roll before laying a top covering.  This will aid drainage, prevent compaction and improve general sand condition.  

We also know that if you have a very loose 'round grain' sand, then the very best option is to add our Shredtex or Flat-track as a top surface.  These products stay on top, and by not mixing into the sand really help stabilise it, allowing you to once again experience an all weather, truly 'ride on' surface.

Of course you may have a pretty good sand which rides quite well but is in need of a bit more spring, then we would advise our Premium Chip, this is a lovely product for all equine disciplines. The larger pieces stay on top whilst the smaller pieces blend with the sand ensuring good drainage whilst providing the ideal 'all weather' riding surface.

The most important thing, is that all of Springrides' products have been thoroughly tried and tested over many, many years.  We don't undertake massive advertising campaigns, full pages in the Equine magazines, but rely heavily on recommendations from our existing customers, and that's why it's even more important to produce and supply what our customer needs.

Call us on 0845 6021524 or email info@springride.com and we'll do our best to advise the best products not just for you but more importantly, what's best for your horse.

NEW FROM SPRINGRIDE SURFACES LTD

Spring-flock, Fibre surfacing






Unique Equestrian grade fibre and rubber mix manufactured by Springride

Our specially selected fibres are cut and processed in such a way to splay out the fibre strands and enhance their ability to overlap one another in the finished surface, the ends of the fibres hook to each other in order to support weight and provide grip.

These specially processed fibres are also mixed with a blend of three types of rubber flakes, crumbs and granules to help provide spring.
Our unique fibre and rubber mix is perfect for all equestrian disciplines, and can be used to help improve problem surfaces, such as deep or loose sand etc.

This specially enhanced fibre surface material is easy to add to an existing surface, and is very cost effective.
Once mixed and blended into your sand on site, the newly enhanced surface will provide a sure footing, with a cushioned going and good support.

In addition, further Springride rubber can be added during or after installation for areas that are prone to very low winter temperatures, to help prevent freezing.

Spring-flock fibre surfacing is unique, it’s long lasting and will not break down.
The specially selected materials are processed to produce great results, and last a life time.    




·    Specially selected materials
·        Delivered in bales
·        Free from metal from source
·        Easy to handle
·        Easy to lay
·        Great results

Thought we had to share this lovely little convo from Facebook:

Monday, May 13, 2013

We know how much people like our Springride Surfaces! But it still is lovely to get emails like this:

Thank you Julie from Llandovery for this lovely email.

comments : Hi everyone. I had my springride chips delivered towards the end of last year and finally got them spread before christmas. 
During the bad weather, the thermometer in our open barn read minus 20 but my school didn't freeze. Much thanks to Carmarthen Sand and 
Gravel for their advice on preparing the base for the school but also thanks to your company as the surface is great for all my horses and my friends horses and ponies. The children feel secure in the school and are enjoying themselves. 
We love SPRINGRIDE.

Springride on Facebook

It certainly can seem confusing with so many different surfaces available, however it is best to purchase rubber from an established company such as Springride, this is because many businesses have started up in recent years, but have no equestrian background, you may end up with a supply of rubber which is very dusty and may not be as free of steel as you would like. We come from an equestrian background and have been producing riding surfaces for 20 years so have an excellent customer base and track record.  We use three machines, advanced technology and a thorough quality checking system to produce our surfaces and ensure they are 99.9999% wire free.  


We are ready for your order and can deliver on a day to suit you.  Call for a competitive quote on 0845 602 15 24

A note from Stella:

"It does not freeze not even last night when temperatures dropped to below -10. I was out jumping a 1.10m course at 8 am this morning. It must be the only outdoor school for miles that is not frozen. All my friends have been using it this week. Its a super surface to jump on too and does not need leveling ever."
