Location: mi		 My arena is due for new footing this summer. I have contacted my guy to come take a look to give me some prices. But I am not sure exactly what to tell him for type of footing?? Is there a grade or term for sand that is not too beachy. That will disk up nice and stay soft yet hold you up in our turns?  any help out there?

Location: mi		Well our main dirt is clay that is slick as snot when wet and hard as rock when dry. I had it done about 12 years ago. and just told him sand. It really didn't have enough hold unless there was a bit of moisture in it. Not bad just kind of fell away too much when it was dry. Was looking to give him better direction this time.........
