Sand Analysis & Testing

Are you experiencing issues with your current arena riding surface? Some of these issues are able to be addressed and rectified by simply sending us a sample of your current riding surface material.

Our in-house team will run analysis on your material to determine its viability based upon extensive data we have collected over the years from a wide variety of surfaces and sand types. Our reports will analyze the distribution sizes of the sand particles as well as the sand shape to determine the overall suitability of your current arena surface.

Our data collection examines the elements of cushion, firmness, grip, responsiveness, and consistency as informed by our extensive work with the FEI. Many footing issues can be addressed by simply introducing an arena additive such as geotextile or fiber material, or even additional sands.

The reports we generate will give accurate data that will allow our footing experts to provide you with the best advice on how best to proceed with the re-development or replacement of your existing footing to meet your performance needs and budget needs.

Testimonials

The arena that ESI just built for us in NY used to be a traditional sand/stone mix. The ESI team came in and totally re-graded and rebuilt the arena, putting all new footing in. Now we are really enjoying the arena, I think it is fabulous and I’m pretty sure it is going to last with very low maintenance for a really long period of time.

McLain Ward, 2 Time Olympic Champion

As a course designer safety for horses and riders is always first, this arena is not slippery and we can really build exciting turns. This is amazing here; this footing is perfect. I have seen rings around the world all my life and this may be number 1.

Olaf Petersen, World-renowned course designer

What I’m seeing done here at Wellington’s WEF [by ESI] is fairly amazing. I’ve always believed that the Wellington facility should be to the United States what Aachen is to Germany and Spruce Meadows is to Canada–the calling card of our sport

Ian Millar, Eight-time Olympian
