The Future of Equestrian Footing: Recycled Rubber

Looking for an arena footing that puts both your horse and the planet first? You’ve found it. 

At ThroughCycle Rubber, we supply EquiTread Equine Surfacing a premium arena solution made entirely from end-of-life tyres.  

From improved shock absorption to excellent drainage, EquiTread is designed with both horse and rider in mind. 

Read on to discover the top four benefits that make EquiTread the ideal choice for your arena. 

Game-Changing Joint Protection  

Perhaps the most significant advantage of EquiTread Equine Surfacing footing lies in its ability to safeguard your horse’s long-term health.  

The natural shock-absorbing qualities of crumb rubber reduce the impact on joints, tendons, and ligaments, making it ideal for ageing horses, those in rehabilitation, or equine athletes under daily physical demands. 

Less concussion means a lower risk of strain and chronic injury. 

Low Dust Option 

Unlike traditional sand surfaces, which can produce fine, airborne dust, crumb rubber footing also provides a significantly cleaner riding environment.  

This dust reduction supports better respiratory health for both horse and rider, minimising allergy triggers and improving overall comfort, particularly in indoor arenas or dry, dusty climates. 

Superior Drainage & All-Weather Reliability 

Crumb rubber footing also drains quickly and more efficiently, preventing water pooling and allowing your arena to remain usable even after rain. 

 Riders enjoy safer footing with consistent grip, while stable managers benefit from fewer cancelled sessions and more predictable performance. 

Low Maintenance & Longer Lifespan 

Unlike sand or sawdust, crumb rubber doesn’t compact easily or break down over time. It requires less levelling, minimal watering, and fewer replacements — ideal for busy arenas looking to reduce upkeep without sacrificing quality.
