Abstract

Disclosed are surfacing materials formed from a suitable angular or sub-angular base sand mixture that is coated with a polymer or polymer / oil blend and then combined with short fibers to produce the final surfacing composition. The polymers and polymer / oil blends are selected to reduce temperature dependent viscosity variations in the surfacing materials, thereby providing a more consistent ''going'' for horses or other livestock being worked on these surfacing materials. Also disclosed are methods of manufacturing such surfacing compositions and methods of using such surfacing compositions in constructing riding venues including, for example, arenas and tracks.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to formulations, preparations and uses of surfacing materials that provide increased compliance and resilience to reduce the likelihood of injury to riders and their horses during equestrian activities. It is contemplated that these equestrian surfacing materials are particularly suitable as ground coverings / flooring materials for a wide range of equestrian activities and sports, particularly for horse training as well as for racetracks, equestrian arenas, round pens and walks. horse machine. It is further contemplated that these equestrian surfacing materials are suitable for use in training, thoroughbred racing, show jumping, dressage, English pleasure riding, and cowboy riding. Background technique [0002] There is currently no general solution to making a perfect arena surface or surfacing material, but general goals include providing a surface that provides cushioning to reduce impact on the horse's legs and reduce ...
