Several decades of experience with equestrian surfaces, makes Nick Attwood the perfect person to talk with about producing an effective sport horse training surface. Angelea met with Nick Attwood of Attwood Equestrian Surfaces to talk about the installation of GGT, German Geo Textile, footing. GGT-Footing, a shredded textile, that stabilizes the sand particles mimicing the effect of the rooting system of turf, which has a stabilizing effect on the surrounding soil particles. GGT footing give more resilience, reduces the amount of packing and helps to hold moisture in the surface, which leads to reduced dust. The secret with GGT really is in the sand.
