Arena surface

[nuttychestnut]

Just wondering if anyone could help, how do you decide if an arena surface is too hard to be safe to ride on?

Many thanks,

Anyone?

I'll give you a bump - I do wonder about the quality of our surface, gets harrowed regularly but the surface is ancient.

Thanks!

I just have no idea how to tell. When you look at grass at least you can tell, but with a surface some hardly move when walked on.

Mine is quite firm but softens up a bit when ridden on. I'd rather have it a teeny bit firm than too soft as too soft can result in tendon injuries.
