Flexi ride surface

[algeredge]

Does anyone have the contact number for Spring-Tek who manufacturer Flexi ride? I have tried the number on their web site but it is unobtainable. I have had a sample and quote from equestrian direct, but I saw an old post on here saying that you could save about 30% by going direct to the manufacturer. Any replies about the number or Flexi ride surface would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance x

TRY Alruba Rubber, it's called fibre and shred mix (or something like that), it's exactly the same as flexi ride...

Thanks Martlin, but not sure it is the same stuff. My friend has Alruba and it rides quite deep and just seems to be rubber that you put down with sand. Flexi ride is foam and rubber recycled from car seats and carpet and keeps the moisture in the sand better than plain rubber. Still on the hunt for the manufacturer then!............

Alruba does all sorts of different surfaces, I've had samples of both and they are pretty much the same

Oh, OK great, I'll see what they've got. Thanks for your help x

At work have one Flexi ride one alruba and one turf float. Personaly the Flexi ride is my favourite but all are nice surfaces and would be happy with any of them.

Please don't make the mistake of blaming the rubber/fibre for a surface riding deep. 9 times out of 10 it is because of the quality of sand used.

Thanks for your help, but still no nearer to getting in touch with Flexi-ride! I guess I will have to ask equestrian direct, but I'd imagine they wont be too happy to give me the manufacturer details as it might cut them out of the deal!
