The Project - Screen Rubber Particles from Soil on a Horse Arena Floor

Horse Arena Surface Screening Project

The private horse arena is 70'x160' and had four basic surface elements.
The base concrete, angular sand, on top of that rubber pellets and
then sprayed with soy bean oil to keep the dust down.

The rubber pellets were the problem. Over the four or so years since
they were put down, they had disintegrated into such small pieces that
they wedged into the horses hooves which had to be scraped out daily.
