About Fibrewax™
Fibrewax™ is a high performing, wax-coated riding surface that has been specifically designed for multipurpose use. Combining washed silica sand, Daytec™ stabilising fibre and equestrian grade wax, this general-purpose footing provides both horse and rider with excellent levels of support and stability.
Coated with an equestrian grade wax, Fibrewax™ is fully synthetic, dust-free and requires only minimal maintenance and no additional irrigation system to keep it performing at its best. Whilst Fibrewax™ is an ideal surface for outdoor riding arenas, we recommend Fibrewax™ Plus for those who require an indoor footing; with a higher wax percentage, this riding surface will give you extra stability in the dry conditions of an indoor school.
Elements of Fibrewax™
Every element of Fibrewax™ has been carefully sourced to ensure you receive a safe, durable and high performing equestrian surface.
Washed Silica Sand
Our high-quality silica sand is fully screened and industrially washed. The sub-angular shaped grains of sand help to create a highly stable riding surface, whilst its low clay and silt content reduces dust and facilitates effective drainage.
Daytec™ Stabilising Fibre
Manufactured from post-production materials, our unique blend of eco-friendly stabilising fibre is guaranteed not to breakdown or degrade over time. Daytec™ is fully synthetic, provides high levels of support and helps to create a firm yet supple surface.
Equestrian Wax
Our equestrian grade wax helps to bind all the materials of Fibrewax™ together – eliminating dust, reducing kick-back and helping to prevent material separation during dry conditions.
Testimonials
Georgina Maywood, Essex
“The Fibrewax™ has a really cushioning feel and is a great shock absorber.”
Jane Robins, East Sussex
“We are so pleased with the finished school surface!”
Surface Characteristics:
Firmness
Surfaces should be firm enough to support the movement of the horse, whilst remaining soft enough to aid shock absorption – minimising concussion to bones and joints.
Cushioning
A cushioning surface will distribute shock forces effectively, whilst still providing enough resistance under the hoof – allowing the horse to balance and move into the rollover phase.
Responsiveness
A responsive arena surface will return energy back to the horse at the same rate that it was applied – reducing the need for the horse to use its own energy to generate momentum.
Grip
Surfaces should provide enough grip to the horse to prevent slipping, but also allow the hoof to slide slightly upon landing – this helps to prevent jarring and absorbs shock.
