The Mansfield Sand Equestrian Silica Sand is a sub angular sand which is produced at our state-of-the-art hydro classification plant at Two Oaks Quarry which creates a clean, free draining fine grade sand.
A pure sand surface will ride deep and unstable (especially during dry periods) causing the horse to work through the sand rather than on top of it, therefore the Equestrian Silica Sand is not intended or recommended for use alone, however it is ideally suited for onsite incorporation of a fibre stabilising product which will provide structure and stability to the sand.
The fibre stabilised Equestrian Silica Sand provides an excellent riding surface which is free draining with very sure footing.
