Description
DANSAND® Care Fibre is our light-colored, pure silica sand mixed with fibres. At our modern production facility, we add fibers to the washed and sorted silica sand, ensuring a perfectly homogeneous product.
DANSAND® Care Fibre is sold via our Danish dealer ridebane.dk and Skibby HC. BOth have long experience in the construction of riding arenas and are capable of providing consultancy or turnkey arena construction.
DANSAND® Care Fibre is tested by STRI in Great Britain
Tests were carried out using infrared X-ray measurements to demonstrate which sand types have the lowest impact on the motion apparatus of horses in both dressage and jumping.
The high breaking strength of the silica sand prevents it from being crushed under the hooves of the horse, leaving structure and breaking strength intact.
Jumping
The tests measured kickback effect and landing back stroke to demonstrate the impact and stress on back, tendons, distal joints and hoof joints on jumps and landings.
Dressage
The tests focused on the horse’s surface contact and the impact point of the hoof in the sand. A loose surface will lead to variations in impact and consequently varying stresses on the distal and hoof joints and tendons. A surface which is too hard will limit the hoof impact point to just the surface of the shoe.
Benefits of DANSAND® Care Fibre
- Retains moisture in the surface layer
- Provides good springiness
- Based on pure natural materials (no synthetic materials used)
- Long product life
- Limits stress on the horses’ motion apparatus and load-bearing body parts
