Modern equestrian surfaces are more than just an equestrian surface. They are high-performance surfaces which are adapted to geographical characteristics and support and take care of our animals’ welfare. The composition of equestrian arenas, paddocks and other surfaces has a significant impact on the wellbeing and safety of horse and rider.
Our ECORASTER equestrian solutions have been developed by and with professionals to turn your problem ground into a reliable and durable equestrian surface. Among our brand ambassadors is Bern Hackl from the “7P Ranch,” well-known horse whisperer and coach starring in the successful German TV series “The Horse Professionals.” He used ECORASTER to turn a challenging river bed into a stunning paddock.

The ECORASTER range is the perfect separating layer for equestrian arenas and indoor schools: it prevents the base getting mixed up with the expensive equestrian surface or aggregate. The depth of impact is reduced and the surface offers noticeably more spring. This in turn protects your horses’ joints and significantly reduces maintenance efforts.
There are numerous applications for permeable ground stabilization systems in equestrian environments – not least as horses should avoid standing in mud or sludge to prevent hoof problems, joint problems or falls. A functioning composite system and robust and compatible elements are crucial for paddocks. The same applies for open stables, round pens and horse exercisers. Our ground reinforcement systems create durable, easy to clean surfaces.
