All-Weather Surfaces for Horses

This is a comprehensive and invaluable guide to the provision of all-weather surfaces for horses which covers the choice of site, drainage, construction, materials and maintenance, and includes a chapter on common causes of failure and how to correct them. New developments of major significance are: a patented arena base system which has been installed as part of the provision of an arena for a well-known dressage rider, and the continuing development of a patented turf reinforcement system, which has now been introduced at many venues, including Smith's Lawn polo grounds. The book covers surfaces for : *Outdoor Maneges *Indoor Schools *Lungeing Rings *Competition Arenas *Take-offs and Landings for Cross-country *Gallops and Racecourses *Reinforced Turf Innovations
