Bit of a strange question but I only have access to an arena across the road to ride my horse in. It's a lovely arena except that it is on a dealer's yard and he doesn't rake/flatten it out at all. There used to be a woman on our yard who had a mini tractor who used to do it but she has left now and the school is getting in a mess (the dealer rides his horses in there very irregularly).
Today my mare tripped and ended up on her knees and me nearly headbutting her neck (this is the second time this has happened) because the surface is so deep and uneven now.
I don't have any access to a tractor and the dealer isn't interested in sorting it, so I was wondering if anyone has any handy tips on how to sort this myself, as I really don't feel it is safe to canter in at the moment? Short of getting a garden rake I don't have a clue!!!
