Sustainable equestrian surfaces

Sustainable equestrian surfaces are designed to be both environmentally friendly and functional for riders and horses. At Equinorm, the surface contributes to the health and performance of horses, regardless of whether it is used infrequently or extensively.

The term 'sustainable' is often used indiscriminately these days, but in this case, it is well-deserved. To date, most equestrian surfaces are made using geotextiles, and synthetic fibers. Equinorm consciously avoids these materials! Our mission is to utilize as many natural, biodegradable, and recycled materials as possible.

Sustainable and innovative

Veel paardensportbodems bevatten kunststof snippers. In het zand zorgt zo’n snipper voor demping, veerkracht en het vasthouden van water. Maar er is één groot nadeel. De kunststof snipper slijt door gebruik. Uiteindelijk krijg je daardoor bodemvreemde stoffen in je product.

Are you replacing your sandbox? That means you'll need to dispose of contaminated sand, which is harmful to the environment.

At Equinorm this is done sustainably

Equinorm operates through circular soil systems. We’ve conducted extensive research to create the best natural soils for this purpose.

Met kunststof verrijkte zandbergen, dat willen we niet meer!

Why do we make sustainable equestrian surfaces?

We started Equinorm because, over the years, we noticed increasing resistance to the installation of traditional equestrian surfaces from permit issuers, waste processors, and environmental protection organizations. Mixing sand with geotextiles and synthetic fibers contributes to environmental pollution and creates issues when it comes to processing discarded surfaces. We've also observed that discarded materials are often not disposed of according to the applicable regulations. It's clear that this can, and certainly will, lead to significant environmental damage in the future. After all, synthetic materials are non-biodegradable and will eventually end up in the soil and groundwater.

Equinorm follows its own standards and aims to provide its clients and future generations with the best and most sustainable solutions.

Equinorm is a term associated with the standards and guidelines used to ensure the quality, safety, and sustainability of equestrian facilities and other horse-related environments. It encompasses a set of criteria and best practices aimed at optimizing performance and welfare for both horses and riders, while also considering ecological and economic sustainability.

Reviews

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The quality of our riding arena was very poor. We decided to ask Equinorm for advice. The appointment was made quickly and after we had indicated our wishes, a plan of action followed soon. It also included a clear cost estimate. After we had given our approval, the new riding arena was completed within 14 days!!!! All of this took place in good consultation. We are extremely satisfied with the riding arena and no longer feel stressed when heavy rainfall is expected!

Equinom delivers excellent work at the equestrian facility “Het Kleef” in the maintenance of our indoor and outdoor arenas, lunge circles, and horse walkers. We are particularly satisfied with both the quality of the work and the reliability of the team.
Na onderhoud door Equinorm liggen de bodems er vlak, goed gedraineerd en met precies de juiste structuur voor optimaal gebruik en comfort voor de paarden van onze klanten. Ook merken we dat Equinom proactief meedenkt en snel schakelt wanneer dat nodig is. Afspraken worden nagekomen en de communicatie verloopt prettig en professioneel.
Absoluut een aanrader voor iedereen die op zoek is naar vakkundig onderhoud van rijbodems en bijbehorende voorzieningen!

I found it quite difficult to choose who would build our outdoor arena. Simply because I don’t know much about sand and everything that comes with it 😊 but I am very happy with the arena and the service from Equinorm. The arena is used a great deal and jumping takes place in it every day, yet we do not need to drag it often and the footing remains in good condition.
