Thinking About Adding Fibre to Your Rubber Riding Arena?

Adding fibre to an existing rubber arena surface can be a great way to improve performance, stability and ride quality. Fibre helps bind the surface together, creating a more consistent footing that offers enhanced support for both horse and rider.

Benefits of adding fibre include:

✅ Improved surface stability and reduced movement

✅ Better moisture retention during dry weather

✅ Enhanced cushioning and shock absorption

✅ Reduced kickback and surface displacement

✅ More consistent performance throughout the year

The success of any fibre addition depends on the condition and depth of your existing surface, as well as selecting the right fibre blend for your discipline and usage. Whether you use your arena for dressage, show jumping, eventing or everyday schooling, the correct surface balance is essential for achieving the best results.

At Chart Riding Arenas, we can assess your current arena and advise whether adding fibre is the right option for your surface. Our experienced team can help rejuvenate existing arenas and ensure they continue to perform at their best for years to come.

If your arena is riding deep, becoming loose in dry conditions or simply isn't performing as well as it once did, adding fibre could be the solution.

The Importance of Quality Fencing Around Your Riding Arena

When investing in a riding arena, the fencing is just as important as the surface itself. Well-designed arena fencing provides safety, defines the riding space and creates a professional finish that complements your equestrian facility.

At Chart Riding Arenas, we supply and install high-quality arena fencing that is built to withstand daily use while maintaining its appearance for years to come. Whether you're creating a private training arena, a competition venue or a lunge pen, the right fencing helps ensure both horse and rider can work safely and confidently.

Our arena fencing is designed with durability and practicality in mind. Strong timber construction, secure fixing methods and careful installation all contribute to a long-lasting fence that can cope with the demands of busy equestrian environments.

Beyond safety, arena fencing plays a key role in the overall appearance of your facility. A professionally installed fence creates a smart, finished look that enhances the value and functionality of your equestrian property.

As part of our complete arena construction service, we can advise on the most suitable fencing options for your project, ensuring your arena is tailored to your specific needs and budget.

Whether you're planning a new riding arena, upgrading existing fencing or creating a dedicated training space, Chart Riding Arenas can help bring your vision to life.

Creating the Perfect Riding Arena: Why Drainage Matters!

A successful riding arena starts long before the surface is laid. While the choice of riding surface is important, effective drainage both inside and outside the arena is what truly determines how well it performs throughout the year. At Chart Riding Arenas, we understand that a well-drained arena provides a safer, more consistent riding experience while protecting your investment for years to come.

The foundation of every quality arena begins with the ground beneath it. Internal drainage systems are designed to remove excess water quickly and efficiently from the arena base. Without proper drainage, water can become trapped within the surface, leading to deep, uneven footing, reduced performance and increased maintenance requirements. A carefully engineered drainage network ensures that water moves away from the riding surface, helping to maintain consistent conditions in all seasons.

However, drainage within the arena is only part of the solution. External drainage is equally important and is often overlooked. Rainwater flowing from surrounding land, roofs, tracks or nearby fields can quickly overwhelm an arena if it has nowhere to go. By incorporating perimeter drains, ditches, swales and appropriate landscaping, water is diverted away from the arena before it can cause problems.

At Chart Riding Arenas, every project begins with a thorough assessment of the site. We consider soil conditions, ground levels, natural water flow and the surrounding environment to create a drainage system tailored to each location. This ensures the arena remains usable throughout the year, even during periods of heavy rainfall.

The result is an arena that rides consistently, requires less maintenance and provides excellent performance for both horse and rider. Whether you are building a private training arena or a large competition facility, investing in proper drainage from the outset is one of the most important decisions you can make.

A great riding arena isn't just about the surface you see — it's about the drainage system working beneath and around it, ensuring reliable performance every day of the year. 🧡

🌟 New Installation at Lancing College…

A leaky pipe system in a riding arena is an underground irrigation system designed to keep the arena surface at the right moisture level. It uses perforated pipes buried beneath the surface, allowing water to slowly seep out (“leak”) evenly across the arena.

Benefits include:
Reduces dust – especially important in dry weather.
Keeps surface consistency – helps maintain even footing for horses.

Less watering needed on top – can be more efficient than sprinklers.

Improves riding conditions – avoids overly dry or uneven patches.

Can protect the surface – helps preserve expensive arena materials.

For outdoor arenas, the system is often installed alongside drainage, because good drainage removes excess water while the leaky pipe adds controlled moisture when needed. Together they help maintain a more stable surface year-round.
