Our 20 mm limestone blend has proved particularly suitable for use on take-off & landings on cross country courses, incorporating steps and water complexes throughout the country.
We even supplied this material to the London Olympics 2012, for use on the course in the Equestrian 3 day events. The favoured product used by a number of course builders has led us to supply a number of BE events including Norton Disney, Lincoln, Belton, Oasby, Shelford, Prestwold, Osberton, to name but a few.
We regularly supply to Cross Country Courses both new & re-furbished, Equestrian venues for both schooling and competition, and for use in Hunt Jumps, Team Chases, & water complexes in many parts of the country, but particularly in around Leicestershire, Rutland, Nottinghamshire & Cambridgeshire.
o sites for apps, events, services and products.
Our limestone is particularly suitable for use in gateways & tracks. Available in various sizes of clean aggregate & down to dust, It is a soft limestone, more suitable as it is less likely to puncture or damage an animals hooves.
Used at the correct time of year, it can re-establish a firm footing in susceptible areas such as gateways & field shelters.
Our 20 mm down Limestone is widely used in and around Leicestershire for cattle paths between adjoining fields. Laid & rolled it can provide a network of footpaths, providing a firm but animal friendly alternative to continued wear to existing grass areas which will inevitably turn to mud in the wetter months.
Locally sourced Limestone particles used widely in the Agricultural Sector as a natural fertilizer. Used at certain times in the Farming calendar to maximise crop production.
Available in Bulk loads only.
Coarse Sand used for cattle bedding as an alternative to straw.
Available in Bulk & Small Quantities
Coarse Silica Sand can be used for a variety of uses in Equestrian, Agricultural & General Construction use.
There are no hard and fast rules on how to build a manége, and every Contractor will have their favoured method of construction and aggregates to use. One major influencing factor will be the geographics, and availability of locally sourced materials thereby reducing the overall cost. We supply a wide range of locally sourced aggregates to local groundworkers used in the construction of Equestrian Manéges . The diagram below is a “guide,” to show the various components that can make up an Equestrian Manege. We can supply options for all the aggregate components required from Limestone to Granite for the base drainage materials, plus gravels for drainage, and top soil and bark mulch for landscaping.
There are many different surface dressings available, and choice of surface used is very much down to personal preference, bearing in mind the intended level of use of the school, maintenance and budget. Whilst we supply a Silica Fill Sand for a variety of uses, we recommend the products of Mansfield Sand Co, similarly locally based, as they have a wide range of available options and can best advise directly.
