Welcome to Hippotex
Home
Since about 25 years the all-weather riding ground Hippotex is widely used as flooring material for riding fields (horse training grounds). Hippotex is a textile covering, made of woven fabric and laid in form of irregular polygons. It is therefore not susceptible to structural damage, even through extreme loads, so riding grounds or horse walkers, roundpens etc. can be used in adverse weather conditions like frost or rain showers. No floor renewal is required like with sand or chaff grounds - applying Hippotex does not lead to great consequential expenses.
Field configuration
1. Giving the foundation a 1-2% incline will eliminate any need of further drainage.
2. The basic layer is appr. 15 cm thick and consists of mineral with a grain size of 5-45 mm (limestone gravel, recycled stone or asphalt) |
Environmental compatibilityHippotex is consistent with environmental requirements, proven by an accredited test laboratory (DAP) under scientifically approved standards. All test results correspond with legal prescriptions. The product can therefore be employed on riding grounds without any restriction. |
