Martin Collins CLOPF® Fiber
is a cost effective performance fiber to improve existing sand surfaces. Available as a stand-alone product CLOPF® fiber
can significantly enhance sand or sand/mix footings without incurring the expense
of an all-new product.
This is a fiber that assists
in building a ‘root structure’ with the sand or sand/mix, thereby providing more
stability and energy return to the limbs of the horse. Correctly maintained, the horses will work more
on top of the surface rather than “through” it. CLOPF® also has an excellent moisture retention property.
Clopf® Fiber has been in the
worldwide market place since 2000 with significant installations in the UK, Europe
and South Africa. Clopf® achieved World
Cup Status upon being installed in Leipzig for the 2011 Finals and was first introduced
into the US market in 2005.

Testimonials:
Laura Bechtolsheimer:
“A good quality surface
is hugely important when you are riding and training top class dressage horses.
We train on a Martin Collins’ surface at home, and to compete at a venue on a Martin
Collins’ surface is fantastic….”
Kathy Priest:
“Except for watering it
is less maintenance,” she raves.
“The horses go great over it and I have had no training injuries using this surface.”
Clayton Fredericks:
"Having installed our
MC Ecotrack® lunge surface we have been impressed by the security and confidence
it gives our horses. We have also added the special Clopf® fibre to our arena and
have been delighted with the improvement in stability and spring. Both Cinda and
I firmly believe that the surfaces have contributed to our success!"
