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:
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 best ménage surface depends on the exact arena and how it will be used. You need to consider usage, discipline, location, drainage, and maintenance requirements. However, for competitions, a comp-track surface is often favoured.
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.
Yes. We are able to either replace an entire ménage surface or provide refurbishment and improvements (which is a more cost-effective option).
Yes. If a ménage is too deep, it can affect the way the horses ride and may mean higher maintenance.
Waxed ménage surfaces offer better drying resistance and will usually require less maintenance. Non-waxed surfaces can be cheaper but may require more maintenance.
There are too many factors that affect longevity to give an accurate answer to this. There is no fixed lifespan, as usage, construction, materials used, and maintenance all affect how long it lasts. To make a ménage surface stand the test of time, proper maintenance and choosing the appropriate surface help immensely.
If you want to know the best ménage surface for your discipline, let us know how you will use the arena, how frequently it will be used, and whether it’s indoors or outdoors. We can then help you compare the different surface options available.
