Fibres

Our aim is to deliver the best surfaces to support performance and wellbeing. With that in mind the design team at Andrews Bowen has spent years in research and development to recreate the benefits of riding on natural turf in prime condition.

As well as understanding the way horses move over the ground our pro-rider experts have looked at how the turf underneath them supports itself – and mirrored nature’s solution: with a synthetic version of the grass plant’s elastic root system. The fibres we manufacture can be added to your existing surface.

We can GUARANTEE that the fibres we use are Pre-Consumer and free of any chemicals.

Stability Fibres

Polypropylene based fibres stabilise Andrews Bowen surfaces by providing a flexible root structure to sand.
This 100% synthetic fibre blend is an ideal additive to improve existing sand-based riding surfaces.
The fibres come directly from the carpet industry. ONLY immediate PRE-CONSUMER clean, new carpet trim is used, so there is no chance that carpet gripper, nails or other potentially dangerous objects are in the blend.
Dust and other undesired materials are removed from the blend as part of the process, leaving you with the cleanest, safest and greenest equestrian surface fibres on the market.
Better still, the Synthetic Stability fibre blend will not break down or degrade, giving considerably extended life expectancy for every surface.
*For optimum performance the finished surface needs to kept moist.

Testimonials

The horses & I absolutely adore our Andrews Bowen Propell surfaces at home. Helping me to enjoy training knowing the horses are experiencing maximum comfort whilst jumping.

We all can’t recommend Andrews Bowen enough!

Chloe LeMieux

“One horse we train we were seriously considering retiring due to lameness issues as a youngster. She doesn’t have the best joints. If not for this Propell surface we wouldn’t be where we are with her now – she’s working at Medium and she’s out competing tonight at Elementary and Freestyle in the regional finals. This surface has given her – well all the horses – the right support and the bonus is it doesn’t freeze.”

Charlie & Abi Hutton

“The surface at HOYS was very consistent everywhere and the horses jumped very well off it. No complaints from me and I am full of admiration for the way a potentially very difficult process is made to look so effortless. Taking a car park to a world class arena in one day is no mean feat!”

Shane Breen

“Railed with Duralock Fencing and the Andrews Bowen Canter Track Surface, our gallop provides perfect conditions in all sorts of weather for schooling both young and older horses. The ability to allow long, steady, continuous work is particularly effective with horses who may struggle to come up the gallop and has been a significant addition to our training facilities.”

Charlie Longsdon Racing

“Somerford Park Farm has been a long established and leading equestrian venue with exceedingly high standards therefore our decision to engage Andrews Bowen as surface provider was not taken lightly as the high demand and varied use for the surface meant it had to deliver on its quality and sustainability. We are thrilled both with the surface and dealings with Andrews Bowen as a company they have been professional and understanding of the demands required of the surface.”
