Sportrack Synthetic Surfaces is a leading manufacturer of all weather synthetic surfaces. Our range of equestrian surfaces have been carefully developed over a period of 25 years and we are constantly striving to ensure we can be competitive on price whilst still retaining the excellence for which these surfaces have become renowned.

Surface options range from pre mixed wax coated surfaces to synthetic surface additives that appeal to all budgets and disciplines.

Our specialist blended synthetic riding surfaces are designed to emulate natural turf, only using pure synthetic fibres which will not rot, break down or loose strength.

All of our surfaces only contain pre-consumer shredded fibre and will never use post-consumer carpet fibres.

Our range of surfaces cover all aspects of the market and each equestrian discipline is catered for, whether you are a hobby or professional rider.

The components of our surfaces are a combination of synthetic fibre materials carefully processed to the correct lengths and mixed with a blend of high grade equestrian sand to guarantee the consistency of the final product. The addition of the wax binding means no watering and reduced maintenance requirements.

Suitable for all disciplines, especially the very demanding training gallops and lunging areas – a sample of our projects can be seen here.

 Chapelstone Equestrian Construction design, manufacture and install stables and arenas to a very high standard throughout the south of England. Much of our business comes to us via word of mouth recommendation. Our customers tell us they are impressed with our attention to detail, the quality of our materials and craftsmanship, and the finishing touches that make their installations beautiful, workable and most importantly, safe environments for their horses and themselves. In addition to the stables we also construct other timber outbuildings, such as field shelters, hay barns, tack rooms, dog kennels and runs, garden rooms, washdown areas and more. Arenas are planned and constructed with meticulous attention to detail – the base, the drainage and the use of the correct materials must be right before the surface goes down. We know that there can be no shortcuts on this element of the build. We can provide you with sand and fibre surfaces and sand and rubber. We also supply arena rakes designed by us to keep your surface well maintained for years to come. “The arena you put in seven years ago still rides fantastic even through the summer months…” Anna We have our own in house craftsmen to manufacture and erect timber buildings to the specification you have requested. We also have our own team of groundworkers, who have years of experience in installing arenas and laying bases for stables and other buildings. We also provide fencing, driveways, parking and turning areas. In fact, just about anything you may need to complete your dream equestrian yard. “If you want a yard built to your own specifications I would recommend speaking to Chapelstone for a bespoke service…”  Cathy Evans (BHSII) Our ‘tagline’ is Run by Horse People for Horse People. Many of the staff at Chapelstone own or have previously owned horses, or ride regularly and are immersed in the equestrian lifestyle. This love of equines coupled with our construction knowledge means we have a real understanding of how important your horses are to you, and know what it takes to make the layout of an equestrian facility flow perfectly. We have been in business for fifteen years, and have built huge commercial yards and small, private stables. Some of our customers have taken advantage of our design and planning department and have handed the entire project over to us and have enjoyed a full turnkey service. Other customers have simply wanted a stable base laid, or asked for a field shelter, or have wanted an existing arena re-surfaced. Chapelstone are also your first stop for ThirstyBed bedding, SolarMate solar equestrian lighting and Hotline electric fencing and stable mats. We can also install solariums, horse walkers, showers, arena & stable solar lighting and watering systems. Whatever you are looking for, contact us at Chapelstone for an informal chat.

Carpet Reclaim was started in late 2018 after illness left me unable to continue working on the railways, the vision was to produce and supply quality fibres for equestrian surfaces. As time has gone on the original concept has been refined and with the addition of a brand-new shredder, we can now produce synthetic carpet fibre shred in a variety of sizes to suit any requirement form sub 30mm to 100mm.

All our fibre is hand sorted fully synthetic and is graded by colour from light to dark, we do not build arena’s so we only offer basic advice but have a good relationship with a reputable arena construction company who we are happy to refer people to.
