Rubber Foot
In order not to put a dirt floor in your bathroom, there are some issues you should consider when deciding what type of conditions for its use in the pen every year. Too often do not give this enough thought, or tend to go to the cheapest option, only to have to rebuild or pay for our choice of many occasions in the future. Remember that your foot is riding the cushion layer. It absorbed the impact and help protect your horse against injury.
The cheapest and easiest grass, it is natural or dirt. Even if it has the advantage to be a physical basis, it also comes with many disadvantages. The grass can be easily damaged and the final peeled and packaged, especially in heavy use. The dirt is compacted to use and can create hard, "concrete-type layer may cause injury legs of his horse. Neither of these two surfaces is adapted to wet climates or use during or after a rain.
The sand is a very good choice for your foot feathered year-round. It provides a large cushion and well drained, which can be used in humid climates.
Another option is smart Lumber and other wood products. Wood adds organic matter to your foot which helps maintain its elasticity. The disadvantage Wood is that if you put too much moisture (either through rain or inadequate runoff) can be tricky and decompose rapidly in putrefaction. In addition, if the wood is too dry, too breaks down and becomes sawdust.
Parts of recycled rubber and "rubber bands" is also a good option. Rubber to break the hardness of natural resources and ensure greater uptake of soil water. The rubber has its drawbacks because it can float in heavy rain or strong winds.
The best option is usually a combination of materials. Many times you need a thick layer to help the water flow and distribution, a thinner layer for drainage and compaction (preventing your layer cushion of filtering into the ground), and a layer of cushion to help provide natural conditions and reduce the hardness of the ground.
Three system layer consisting of coarse rock, fine and a combination of crushed rubber and sand is one of these systems often seen. Each layer brings its own properties, and you are sure of an excellent drainage for year round use.
Before starting his pen around the foot is best to plan in advance. What will the round pen is used? What is the climate in your particular region? How hard or soft ground is its nature?
Remember, the physical structure of the ride is only part of the equation. Base adequate and drainage is also important that the pen around. The absence adequate basis for the system can predict now the wound of his horse, and costly reconstruction later.
