“…The GSP, ITD and RPS have proven to all be sensitive to this effect. The RPS has been addressed in previous work with weaker results [22]. In this paper a sensitivity is shown to the triple interaction of drainage package, moisture content and geotextile addition.…”

“…Shear, the horizontal component of the load on the surface, is in one direction during the first and second impact and then reverses during breakover of the hoof as the surface supports propulsion [12]. Shear resistance affects the extent to which the hoof will slide back and forth or rotate on landing, turning, pushing off, passage, pirouette, or in a sudden brake [21,22]. Longitudinal traction affects the sliding of the hoof in the horizontal plane when braking in a linear movement.…”

Quantitative measurements of performance parameters have the potential to increase consistency and enhance performance of the surfaces as well as to contribute to the safety of horses and riders. This study investigates how factors known to influence the performance of the surface, incorporation of a drainage package, control of the moisture control, and introduction of a geotextile reinforcement, affect quantitative measurements of arena materials. The measurements are made by using affordable lightweight testing tools which are readily available or easily constructed. Sixteen boxes with arena materials at a consistent depth were tested with the Going Stick (GS), both penetration resistance and shear, the impact test device (ITD), and the rotational peak shear device (RPS). Volumetric moisture content (VMC %) was also tested with time–domain reflectometry (TDR). Results obtained using GS, RPS, ITD, and TDR indicate that the presence of the drainage package, moisture content, and geotextile addition were detected. Alterations due to combinations of treatments could also be detected by GS, ITD, and TDR. While the testing showed some limitations of these devices, the potential exists to utilize them for quality control of new installations as well as for the monitoring of maintenance of the surfaces.
