🐴✨ Why we chose limestone for our arena surface ✨🐴
A great arena surface can make such a difference to both horse and rider — which is why we chose limestone for our riding arena. 🤍
🌿 The benefits we love: • Excellent drainage, helping keep the arena usable in a range of weather conditions
• Provides a firm, supportive base for horses
• Less prone to becoming deep and boggy than some sand surfaces
• Helps provide consistent footing when properly maintained
• Low dust when managed and watered correctly
• Durable and long-lasting with regular maintenance
• Creates a stable, even surface that is great for everyday schooling and jumping
Of course, every arena surface has its pros and cons, and the quality of the installation, drainage, moisture levels and ongoing maintenance are just as important as the material itself.
🐎 Good footing = happy horses, confident riders and better training!

We have added two new jumps to the arena...watch this space 👀
We aren't dragging a paddock harrow or gate around on our arena.
We have invested in an arena groomer which is designed specifically for the job.
The tynes disturb the top at whatever depth we set it to and then the blade re levels it behind.
Using the correct equipment ensures a safe and effective surface to ride on!
It is so so satisfying to watch 👀🙌
Plenty of rain lastnight and early this morning so a good test for the arena surface to see how it will stand up to winter
I purposely did not harrow yesterday to see what effect it had on it in terms of draining as hoof prints can act like little buckets and fill with water to slow draining and cause unstable surface...
There are a few lower areas by the look after the final level but even with a bit of water in those areas and in the hoof prints it is absolutely rideable right now 🙌
We still have a few things we want to be testing over the next week or so but so far its looking pretty dam good 💕
Final level and spread has been done!
Getting close now 🫶💕
