RedRox supplies a wide range of high-quality aggregates for equestrian use, carefully selected for performance, durability, and animal welfare.

With nationwide delivery available across England, Scotland and Wales, and expert advice on construction methods and layering, we can support both commercial equestrian centres and private stables. 


Where Aggregates Are Used in Equestrian Construction:


Riding Arenas & Ménages

Our arena base materials provide excellent drainage, stability, and shock absorption. 

Ideal build-ups include: 

  • Sub-base: MOT Type 1 or Type 3 
  • Drainage layer: Washed 20mm stone or clean angular gravel 
  • Surface layer: Silica sand, fibre blends, or rubber crumb (sourced separately if needed) 

Gallops & Canter Tracks

Durable, well-draining aggregates designed to withstand high-impact training environments. 

Often constructed with a deep sand or blended surface over a compacted, free-draining base. 

Paddocks & Turnouts

Aggregates are used to improve footing in high-traffic or wet areas to prevent poaching and mud build-up. 

Applications include: 

  • Crushed limestone or scalpings 
  • Self-binding gravel 
  • Drainage stone with geotextile membrane layers 

Stable & Yard Bases

Hard-wearing aggregates ensure long-term stability and proper drainage under stable blocks, barns, and yards. 

MOT Type 1, Type 3, or well-compacted hardcore is typically used beneath concrete or rubber matting.
