EcoFibre Equestrian Surfaces

A natural-fibre footing additive that transforms plain sand into a professional riding surface, cushioned, stable, low-dust and dramatically less thirsty. Your horses will tell you first.

Why EcoFibre

What your arena gains.

Kinder to legs & joints

Fibre creates a sprung, cushioned structure within the sand that softens every landing, protecting tendons, ligaments and joints through years of work.

Grip & lateral stability

Interlocking fibres hold each footfall steady, so horses push, turn and collect with confidence, no slipping, no shearing.

Waters far less

The fibre acts like a reservoir, holding moisture inside the surface. Consistent footing for longer, with a fraction of the watering.

Dust under control

Bound particles stay on the ground instead of in the air, healthier for horses, riders, grooms and everyone around the arena.

Lasts season after season

Fibre resists compaction and migration, so year three still rides like year one, protecting your investment in the whole arena.

100% natural

Plant fibre with zero microplastics. Nothing synthetic sheds into your soil or your horses' environment, ever.

How it works

Fibre + your sand = a surface system.

Loose sand shifts, deepens and dusts. Blended with EcoFibre, it behaves like an engineered surface: the fibres knit through the sand, adding structure, spring and moisture retention.

  • Works with new arenas and upgrades existing sand arenas, often no rebuild needed.
  • Blend is matched to your sand type and discipline, cushion for jumping, stability for dressage, resilience for busy schooling yards.
  • Professionally incorporated with minimal downtime for your yard.
  • Simple upkeep: routine grooming and light watering keeps it performing.
Technical specifications: recommended blend ratios, application depth and coverage per bale are confirmed per project after a site assessment. (Client to supply standard spec figures for this section.)
Good to know

EcoFibre questions, answered.

Can EcoFibre be added to my existing arena?

In most cases, yes. If your base and drainage are sound and your sand is suitable, EcoFibre is blended directly into your existing surface. We confirm suitability during the site assessment.

Which disciplines is it suitable for?

All of them. The blend is tuned to what you ride: show jumpers typically want more cushion and rebound, dressage riders want stability and consistency, and busy schooling yards want durability. One product, tailored ratios.

How much less watering can I expect?

Meaningfully less, the fibre holds moisture inside the surface rather than letting it evaporate off the top. Actual savings depend on your climate, sand and usage; we will give you an honest estimate for your specific arena.

How long does installation take?

Most arenas are blended and ready to ride within days, not weeks. We plan installation around your yard's schedule to keep downtime minimal.
