5 things you need to know about our equestrian surfaces
We believe that natural surfaces are better for the horse, better for the trainer, and better for the environment.
Why would you put a valuable (or even just a much-loved) horse to work on recycled synthetic material that comes from who-knows-where and contains heaven-knows-what which, when airborne, can be absorbed by both the horse and rider?Why, moreover, would anyone want to pollute the ground and rural environment in which we are lucky enough to live and work, with material that can come from recycling facilities half way round the world?And why would you leave yourself with a landfill headache and an exorbitant disposal cost when you don’t need to?Common sense says that for the wonderful creatures we work with, for the surroundings in which we work, and for the bottom line of our businesses, natural is best.
We remove the dust and make our surfaces bark-free.
Since their businesses depend upon it we think that the racing and polo professionals we supply know rather more than most about the lung capacity of the horse.That being said, we have learnt enough in the decades we’ve been doing this to know that dust and equine fitness just don’t go together. That’s why we make sure that dust is removed before it leaves us, and, since the bark is removed far earlier in the process, you won’t find any of that in there either.Why does that matter? Because bark produces dust when dry, holds water which freezes in Winter, and attacks and breaks down the core training surface thus reducing its lifespan.
We don’t use any recycled material.
Quite simply, the health and fitness of the horse is too important to run the risk of surface contamination or potential airborne synthetic dust. So, our equestrian surfaces are guaranteed fresh, virgin material with no risk of these. Also remember that with our surface you will face no exorbitant landfill costs.
We only use British materials.
Our bark-free woodfibre has been produced to the correct particle size in a controlled environment so knits together beautifully to form the right kind of shock absorbent training surfaces for racehorses, polo ponies and top flight eventers, producing peak fitness. Whether you’re after speed, stamina or agility, we have the right solution with different woodfibre grades to help you create the perfect training regime. Our specially chosen wood species is also naturally durable and will take the repeated pounding associated with intense training giving years of service. This means a longer-lasting surface with fewer top-ups and money saving guaranteed. The in-built qualities and cost saving of the surface aside, we’re proud of the fact that we only use British material. It makes for a more environmentally friendly product with fewer lorry miles travelled before, during and after production. That has to be good news for everyone.
We are chosen by the most respected equestrian professionals in the UK – and have been for decades.
You wouldn’t expect us to list them here but the fact is we supply the top flight trainers you most respect for their professionalism and for their results. Why do they choose Ransfords?The merits of our products aside, the things they also value are our commitment to excellence in our own field and standards of service that are second-to-none.
