In comparison to riding arenas with either grass, sand or wood chip surfaces, conditions are far better on both rainy days and on days with temperatures below freezing. And on hot, dry days, dust nuisance is far less.
A top layer of recycled crumb rubber provides a resilient, shock-absorbing surface, offering less strain to joints and tendons and reducing hoof wear. And should the rider fall off, a softer landing is ensured on the elastic rubber layer.
