Equine Surfacing Ltd

Ménage Surfacing

All horse riding arenas require the right kind of ménage surfacing for safe, stable, consistent footing. Of course, the exact type of ménage surfacing you need depends on several factors, including the type of riding and discipline, how frequently it will be used, weather conditions, and budget. Fortunately, we have a wide range of pre-mixed ménage surfaces for all types of facilities, so you are sure to find what you need, whether building a new arena or improving an existing one.

Which Ménage Surface is Right for You?

It is important to figure out what kind of ménage surface you need, as it can differ significantly. After all, a private equestrian area used a handful of times a month won’t need the same type of surface as a busy yard used daily, or one that hosts competitions.

There are several main ménage surface types to choose from, including All-Track, Pro-Track, Comp-Track, and Pro-Grade surfaces. When choosing, the biggest factors to consider include:

Prepared ménage riding arena surface
How often the ménage gets used
The type of riding and discipline
Site conditions
Ground conditions
Maintenance requirements
Whether it’s indoors or outdoors
Level of performance needed
Your budget

Solutions for New Builds and Existing Arenas

Ménage for New Arenas or Refurbishments

Another factor to consider is whether you’re purchasing ménage surfacing for a brand-new riding arena or for a refurbishment.

If building a new ménage, your surfacing options are completely open, so it’s crucial to choose the right one. We can supply the appropriate pre-mixed surface to meet your needs.

If you already have a ménage but it’s ageing, it doesn’t need to be completely rebuilt. Our team can carry out refurbishment projects that involve adding surface treatments and top-ups to existing arenas, leading to a far better surface performance. This option is usually most cost-effective, too.

Answers to Common Ménage Surfacing Questions

Ménage Surfacing FAQs

A ménage surface is a surface installed over a horse riding arena. It’s specifically designed to provide good footing for horses and riders to train and exercise safely.

The cost varies significantly depending on the size of the arena, depth, and exact ménage surface required. For an accurate quote, get in touch and let us know your requirements.
