| Abstract | Introduction Sand is the key footing component of most horse-riding arenas. In this respect, fundamental knowledge of sand specifications is essential for a deeper understanding of the mechanical properties of equestrian surfaces. Sand is a complex material comprising variable fractions of sand grains with a distinct mineralogy and pore space filled with air and water. The relative fractions of these components greatly influence the mechanical properties of the arena surface and thus distinguish good from bad arena sands. In this context, sand shape, size, sorting and mineralogy plays an important role. |
