Studies
have shown that...
concussion,
surface shift, excessive shear and poor support are major causes
of bone stress, tendon strain and joint ‘wear and tear’ in
horses exercising on arena and track surfaces. A material that absorbs
shock and jarring, while resisting shift and allowing optimum resilience,
is a major advantage in providing a safe, all-weather and supportive
working surface to reduce limb injuries and risk of breakdown in
exercising horses. The physical properties and versatility of the fl aked
rubber material meet these requirements."
