Money no object what surface would you choose?

[DawnF]

Further to my last post about surfaces I was wondering what surface is considered the best. I will have to decide which surface I'll be getting for my school but want to now if money was no object what surface would you have?

 

[mememe]

i would want rubber with fibre sand mixed in!

 

[dieseldog]

I would want a waxed one as you don't have to water them.

Gel track

 

[Grasshopper]

I've heard great reports about waxed.

What's a gel track?

 

[wishfulthinking]

The top of the range waxed one that equestrain surfaces do.

Can I put a specific name??? But if would definatly require huge amounts of dosh

The Martin Collins Eco-Track is brilliant indoors and out

waxed pro-track or similar, the megabucks ones.
i got quoted £60k for baseworks, £60k for surface for 23x60, 8 years ago... plus vat.
hmm, would have been nice though.

I second the ECOTrack its amazing

Martin Collins EcoTrack, without a doubt

Its all good having a 'competition' surface at home, but they aren't very good for their joints as there is no give in them.

I think for home one of the best options is rubber and fibre sand

We have Ecotrack at home and it is fantastic

I'd keep the surface i have now; rubber and fibre sand, its lovely.

We have sand / rubber mix but theres a yard near here that has rubber mesh stuff - quite weird looking but stays totally flat and constant - no deep bits anywhere. It's fab to ride on. Can't for the life of me remember what its called though - sorry!

I'd second that. I believe it's what they have at Towerlands and Hickstead

Whatever the surface is at Somerford Park on the huge outdoor, dont know what its called but we call it the carpet school because it literally has old bits of carpet in it! The horses seem to love it and its just fab to ride on
