I highly recommend this company . Colin and his team are very helpful and professional. I wanted a surface that would provide stability , not ride deep , something that I could jump on , even lunge on . After many conversations with Colin I took his advice and had the combi ride dual stabiliser and added some of their pro stabiliser fibre as well . The result has been fantastic and better than I could have imagined . I now have a wonderful surface that has now knitted together and rides like turf , the horses stay on top of the surface , giving a secure and confident ride . The surface has been

I had a sand and Combi-ride dual stabiliser surface put in 9 years ago and have been very pleased with its performance. I contacted Combi-ride this summer for their advice on upgrading the surface as it was no longer riding as well as it used to. They did a free site visit and discussed the options with me. I opted for a top up with Combo pro sand and fibre mix. They levelled my existing arena and topped up with the premix. I am delighted with the manner in which the work has been done and the site was left very tidy. The surface rides really well being consistent throughout the arena with a

I highly recommend Combi-ride, they recently installed their Pro advanced fibre additive to my existing arena and it has totally transformed the surface, it has given it alot more stability. I am so pleased it is lovely to ride on for both flatwork and jumping, my horses seem to really like it aswell.The team at Combi-ride were a pleasure to deal with from start to finish and their attention to detail when installing the fibre surface was excellent.

We've had our surface for 12 years, it is used by several horses daily and has only needed one top up in that time. It is consistent to ride on whatever the time of year. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Combi-Ride and the after sales service has been fantastic. Very helpful and knowledgeable people to deal with.
