Hi, my wife & mum have horses, they mainly do dressage.
I used to ride myself, hunted a couple of times (could hardly walk next day) but allergic to them, and gettng worse by the day, can't go near them now and i'm getting a little worried about it.
My business is also based around horses, if you need any help on all weather riding surfaces just give me a shout or visit my website www.peartarenas.com we'll be more than happy to help! _________________ 2011 3.0l Hilux Invincible

Went to have a look at a house yesterday that also happens to have a 20m x 40m Menage with an all weather surface as we're not into horses is there a second hand market for this stuff at all? Apparently it cost £20k to be built. _________________ Phil

Depends on what surace, how old and how much there is, woodchip - no, sand/rubber or a premixed surface, possably only if a good quality sand has been used, there are only a handfull of quarrys in the uk that produce a sand good enough for a menage. _________________ 2011 3.0l Hilux Invincible

Its sand and rubber, its only about two years old if that and was very good quality as its used at the moment for a business. The owner is a horse psychologist/horse whisperer and also does a lot of work with handicapped children/kids with ADHD etc _________________ Phil

Sounds a saleable surface, would suit a DIY'er. Would be no good for us as we have to guarantee our arenas and can only use new materials. (unless customer requests it)
To give you a rough idea the sand new could cost you £3000 (a lot depend's on haulage) and the rubber £1500 (depends how much has been used)
20k seems a little steep for a 40x20 two years ago, however materials have rocketed since (thanks to the goverments aggrigate tax & fuel costs). _________________ 2011 3.0l Hilux Invincible

That included all the fencing and putting in proper drainage underneath, its been chucking down up here and it was dry as a bone when we saw it as it drains instantly. I'm guessing they also needed to level the land as its on a slope. As we don't have horses and are unlikely to the wife reckons we should turf it and make it into a tennis court and boules pitch! _________________ Phil

We've got two, The Midget, 15hh Arab X Welsh Cob 17 going on 4 this is him at the end of a two day 40 miler last spring.
and Danny, retired show horse, pure bred Arab 15.2hh 11yo - thug!
As some may have spotted, both horses do endurance, the young lad on Midget is the 15yo son of a friend who got fed up with Pony Club. Quite ironic given that my missus is now the local DC! _________________ If all else fails just nod, smile and say "Yes Dear"

Thank you, they think they're lovely too. All horses have a bit of Arab in them - it resides in the vacuum where their brain usualy lives. Your girl is nice, even if some of these philistines think she looks like a milk producing bovine, bet they wouldn't say that to her face! (one thing "Oh and she don't argue or act childish" - you sure shes a mare? ) _________________ If all else fails just nod, smile and say "Yes Dear"

yes am quite sure she is a mare, she just a rare one. might be the fact that dentist said she has gelding teeth, where her wolf teeth are suppose to be.
she is a sweetie and have had her since she was 3, she will be 12 in april, she with me for life. |

I suppose the thing with vet's and horses teeth is similar to vet's and horses feet - don't let them near unless absolutely necessary, leave it to the Dentist/Farrier or they'll (the Vet) just make a mess. _________________ If all else fails just nod, smile and say "Yes Dear"
