Would any of those who have a training arena please provide some feedback with regard to best material for the floor?
It will be 40 by 80 and will be under construction mid May.
The contractor is not familiar with miniature horses and suggested base of a 3 inches of stone chips and stone dust and three inches of sand on top of the base.
I said three inches of sand would likely be too deep for drving.
Another suggestion was just the base of crushed stone and topped with stone dust, which after time will harden like the material on a race track.
We also saw a product advertised which is shredded rubber.
