At Professional Rubber Surfaces, we provide a range of equestrian rubber surface options.

Our superior equestrian rubber chippings are made from recycled tyres, to create a safe and durable all-weather surface for both horse, and rider.

Adding rubber chippings to your horse arena not only makes it usable all year round, even in freezing temperatures, it will also prevent your sand school from drying out in the drier months.

Another benefit of rubber chippings for your horse is that they will absorb impact, minimising the risk of leg concussion in your horse and providing a springy ride.

What Lee Says about Professional Rubber Surfaces
“I feel very honoured to be a sponsored rider of Professional Rubber Surfaces. Not only have they supplied me a wonderful surface, to train my current and future competition horses on, they have supported me throughout the build of my first arena at home, and this support has been invaluable. They have been very knowledgeable, not only about deciding the final surface, but also the quality of silica sand, and the importance of the drainage. The arena rides just like perfect spring grass, which is the ideal way of going for competition horses.”

Reasonably speedy delivery of 24 bags, mainly grey. Easy to carry the bags around. Easy to spread it out. Very good product. Covered one terrace in our garden with it. Recommended.

Slight delay with stock on the coloured chippings I ordered, but once sorted delivered quickly and without any bother. Really happy with the quality and colour for the 20mm chippings. A few small wires found while laying it, but the kids have been playing on it barefoot for a few weeks now (not recommended by the supplier, but kids will do what kids will do) and nobody's got a wire in their foot yet 🙂 I used 100mm deep to give a nice soft landing under the monkey bars then 50mm deep elsewhere, giving a nice tidy finish to the kids play area. As a bonus, the cats have shown no interest in using it as a toilet.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are equestrian rubber chippings?

Equestrian rubber is an inexpensive surface material, suitable for various uses including; outdoor riding arenas, training gallops, canter tracks and horse walkers. It provides a high quality, non-toxic, durable equestrian arena footing at cost-effective prices across the UK. 

It is made from automotive tyres, and is manufactured by passing them through a specialised granulator, and then screened.

The rubber is shredded at 20mm to create a coarse grade of chipping.

Our 20mm Equestrian Rubber Chippings are made using only the best shredding equipment available, our rubber goes through several rigorous processes, including 2 powerful overband magnets. This is to ensure that 99.9% of the wire is removed, producing a superb end product. 

What are the benefits of equestrian rubber chippings?

There are many benefits to using equestrian rubber chippings, these include:

  • Minimising leg concussion risk by offering a level of protection for feet and tendons
