I've had carpet fibre mixed in with my sharp sand arena for a few months now and it is working really well. It came from Brennan Keogh at Equicon (unfortunate company name, but he was really helpful and the fibre is very good quality!).
I've been rolling it about once per week (it doesn't get heavy use), using the big farm roller. My thoughts are to have some sort of smaller roller/harrow combo that could be pulled by a 4x4 so I don't have to rely on a tractor being available.
I wondered how others with this mix look after it?
 
We initially used Arena mate harrow and we have reverted to a gate too.

We recommend that fibre schools need power harrowing to remix the fibre into the school and rolling.
During the dry weather the fibre will come to the surface so power harow in when good rain has fallen.
