When I read this, I thought "corral surface" meant the horse pen --  
where the horse spends most of it's time (assuming there is no  
pasture).   I board, so the "corral" or "pen" is a 24 x 24 pipe corral.

FYI - our pens are build on a plain dirt base.   Folks who want to pay  
for it can have sand delivered and spread for them.  Sand can be a  
pain, however.  I have rubber mats, and have to keep them swept.   
Otherwise, the horse is picking hay out of the sand tracked onto the  
mats, which isn't too terribly desireable....
