We’re well into March which means spring is here. We can smell the easter chocolate and we can hear the rain clouds of April building. With the transition of seasons comes a new found strength that every equestrian understands only too well, when the thought of drier fields seems so close yet so far and of course, the sudden urge to spring clean every aspect of our lives… horses included. Enter… legal carpet fibre surface for your arenas, turnout pens, lunge pens and gallops.

We know it’s a tough topic for some at the minute. The subject of waste carpet being removed from the equestrian industry was a huge one. One that led to a great deal of ambiguity and confusion for many; not helped by a large of press that created more questions than answers. 

Thankfully, here at Foley’s Equestrian Surfaces, we’re always happy to clarify exactly what the legislation means and how Foley’s Equestrian Surfaces provide legal carpet fibre surface for your every equestrian need. 

Legal Carpet Fibre Surface For Equestrian Arenas

Not ALL carpet fibre surface has been banned. That’s without a doubt a great place to start. Waste carpet in equestrian surfaces has definitely been banned and that took effect from January 1st 2024. However our virgin carpet fibre here at Foley’s Equestrian Surfaces is most definitely still perfect legal. Why? Because we adhere to strict guidelines, use ‘virgin’ carpet fibre that’s made for the purpose in which it’s used and work closely with the environmental agency to ensure we’re within the guidelines and legislation laid out.

What does this mean for you? It means that if you’re looking for legal carpet fibre surface for your arena, your lunge pen, your turnout paddock or even your gallops, Foley’s Equestrian Surfaces is the company to look to.

Not only do we provide legal carpet fibre surface but our surfaces are used up and down the country for a multitude of disciplines thanks to their incredible qualities…

Legal Carpet Fibre Surface That Won’t Freeze

Our legal carpet fibre surface, whether it’s our eco-sport mix or our premium eco-excel, resists frost at some seriously low temperatures; something that’s very much needed here in the UK. Our surfaces are still perfectly rideable at minus 12, minus 13 and below. How do we know? We’ve tried and tested multiple times. Not only this but we continue to work with our ambassadors to create content during some very cold conditions, seeing consistently that our surfaces hold up under a great deal of icy temperatures. 

Legal Carpet Fibre Surface That Aids Drainage

Here in the UK, rain is our favourite form of precipitation. It feels never-ending, so to have an equestrian surface that aids drainage is something of a must-have and that’s exactly what we provide. If you have the right base for your arena with the correct level of drainage built in, the last thing you want is a surface that fights against that. Our surfaces all aid with drainage, once again helping you enjoy an arena or a lunge pen that’s useable all year round. 

Legal Carpet Fibre Surface For All Disciplines

From dressage to showjumping, private arenas to busy livery yards, huge racing yards with multiple horses in training to small equestrian facilities with individual all-year round turnout pens, our surfaces are ideal for a multitude of uses and disciplines. But don’t just take our word for it. Head to our socials now to see how our current clients are making the most of our surfaces.
