We have a school which we put in about 15 yrs ago. It's a sand pvc ( I think, those chopped up cable outer bits ) mix. It drains well but obviously over time some surface has been lost and it's starting to get very compacted, especially on the track, which quickly compacts again after raking. It also freezes at the drop of a hat and stays frozen for ages. It gets used for about an hour a day, one horse, flat work only.
One pony is a tripper at the moment and us much worse on waxed surfaces so want to avoid that.
Was thinking big rubber chunks might be good non freeze option but one horse is coloured feathered cob so don't want anything that will stain those.
Just frightened of making a costly mistake , any ideas?
I wish there was someone who would come and give independent advice but I feel any one that comes will just suggest their own surface.
