A geotextile riding arena is a type of riding surface that incorporates geotextile, a synthetic fibre material, into the sand layer. This material improves the performance and durability of the arena, providing greater stability, shock absorption and drainage.

What is geotextile in a riding arena?
Geotextile is a non-woven or woven fabric used as an intermediate layer in the construction of riding arenas. Its main functions are:

• Improving stability
  The geotextile acts as a root structure, similar to grass, providing greater cohesion to the sand and preventing it from shifting.
• Increase shock absorption
  Helps absorb the impact of horses' footsteps, reducing joint fatigue and improving comfort for both rider and horse.
• Facilitating drainage
  Geotextile helps drain rainwater, preventing puddles and keeping the track in optimal condition.
• Reduce dust
  By improving moisture retention, dust formation is reduced, especially in dry conditions.
• Better training quality
  The consistent, shock-absorbing surface allows for safer and more effective training.
• Versatile use
  Suitable for different equestrian disciplines, such as dressage, show jumping and trail riding.
