Equestrian Arena Surfaces
A well-performing arena surface makes a real difference to both horse welfare and rider confidence. While no arena surface is entirely maintenance-free and performance can be influenced by cold and hot weather conditions, the right surface design and ongoing support can deliver consistent, reliable performance throughout the year.
Is your arena freezing and you’re unsure why? Freezing is not caused by the surface material itself but how moisture is managed within it. With the correct surface build, depth, fibre support and drainage, an arena can ride more evenly, cope better with changing weather conditions and remain comfortable to use for longer.
At Combi-Ride, we support arena owners at every stage, from supplying new arena surfaces to assessing, improving and rejuvenating existing ones. Our nationwide team provides honest and practical advice, helping you get the best possible performance from your arena without unnecessary expense.
Our Dual Stabiliser Fibre and Pro-Advanced Stabiliser systems are designed to improve stability, reduce deep or loose footing and help manage moisture more effectively. In many cases, these solutions allow us to enhance an existing surface rather than recommend a full replacement.
With over 2,000 new and rejuvenated arena surfaces supplied across the UK, we focus on long-term performance, safety and value, tailoring our approach to your arena and your budget.

Riding Arena Maintenance
Arena surfaces can change over time due to compaction, uneven depths, reduced fibre content or natural wear to the top layer. These issues can affect how an arena rides, even when the underlying surface remains sound.
That’s why Combi-Ride always begins with a thorough arena assessment. By understanding how your surface is performing and identifying the underlying causes, we can recommend targeted improvements such as re-levelling, fibre installation, depth correction or drainage enhancements.
In addition to maintenance and rejuvenation, we also supply surfaces for new arena builds. Whether you’re creating a brand-new arena or upgrading an existing base, we help you choose the right surface and fibre system for long-term performance, comfort and ease of maintenance.
Our arena stabiliser fibre systems combine high-quality pre-consumer fibres with structural support to improve stability, reduce tracking and enhance energy return. The result is a more supportive, longer-lasting riding surface that feels better for both horse and rider.
If your arena isn’t performing as it should, there may be more options available than you realise. With expert assessment and the right improvements, many arenas can be transformed and their lifespan significantly extended.
With Combi-Ride, you can expect experienced installation, clear advice and practical solutions shaped around your arena. Contact our team to discuss how we can help you improve or supply the right surface for your needs.

FAQs
-
How do I know if my arena needs replacing or just rejuvenating?
Most arenas do not need a full replacement. Problems like riding deep, poor drainage, inconsistent footing or freezing often stem from maintenance, compaction or incorrect depths, not a ruined surface. A professional assessment by Combi-Ride will identify what can be fixed cost-effectively before considering a rebuild.
-
Do Combi-Ride offer nationwide arena assessments?
Yes. Combi-Ride provides nationwide coverage across the UK, including a dedicated agent in Scotland. We assess, supply, rejuvenate and install surfaces for private yards, competition centres, racing yards and self-build projects.
-
Why is my arena riding too deep?
A deep arena is usually caused by incorrect surface depth, lack of stabilising fibre, poor levelling or compaction in the lower layers. It can also happen when too much loose top material sits above the working level. In many cases, adding fibre, redistributing the surface or correcting depths will restore firmness without needing a new surface.
-
Will adding fibre help with waterlogging or deep spots?
If the membrane and drainage stone is working correctly adding quality fibre improves structure, stability and moisture management. It supports the sand, improves drainage behaviour and helps prevent deep, loose or inconsistent areas. When matched with suitable sand, fibre is one of the most effective ways to improve problem arenas without starting again.

How can I build a new arena?
Combi-Ride supplies and works closely with some of the top arena builders in the country. We can also give help and advice with our 20-plus years of experience to help you with self-build arenas. We can supply from the membrane right up to a full sub-surface irrigation system. This means the surface copes with the changing dry climates we now experience. It makes sure your arena surface is in top condition for years to come.
