ProWax
ProWax is an extremely advanced surface made from a wax instead of a petroleum jelly. This, combined with two grades of multi-washed silica sand, elastic fibres, polypropylene and polyester fibres, provide a secure but forgiving surface that will reduce repetitive strain injury.
Horses are able to travel over the surface because the synthetic fibres act as a “root structure” similiar to the best turf.

ProWax requires no watering, is dust free and requires the minimal maintenance expected from a waxed surface and is frost resistant. We manufacture ProWax ourselves, using a hot wax to produce this outstanding surface.

US Olympic rider Laura Kraut said
“I thought the footing there was outstanding. It was consistent under heavy use all week and the horses felt like they jumped well off it. It’s comparable to the best footing you can jump on. I’d be happy to jump on it all year round.” Talking about her first introduction to ProWax in Belfast at the Northern Ireland International Horse Show in 2007
