We use masonry sand in all indoor arenas, it is a fine grit and softer sand. We use a concrete sand on all outdoor arenas which is slightly more course and more resistant to wind loss. All our sand is cleaned and washed from the pit. Proper footing on your arena surface improves drainage, performance, comfort, compaction, and reduces fatigue.
