"Martin Collins, less expensive than you might think"
Clopf® is arguably the best “binding†fibre on the market. As well as being a key component of our waxed products, adding the fibre into an existing sand surface will aid stability, provide more “cushion†and energy return to the horse. With correct maintenance a horse will work more “on top†of the surface rather than “into†it. It also has excellent moisture retaining qualities which should reduce the amount of watering in long dry spells. However, as with any surface that is not wax coated, it is susceptible to cold weather. At just £810 (plus haulage & VAT) for a sand and rubber 40m x 20m arena, it really is a professional product you can afford.
