We currently have about 2 m3 (2.6 cubic yards) of sand stored in front of the house. There are no more uses for it around our property. Online classifieds are full of ads giving away screed sand. Apparently, many people can't get rid of it...
Disposal at the landfill is unfortunately expensive—I’ve already checked.

What did you do with your leftover screed sand?
Do you still need to work on your outdoor areas? Then you could use the sand in your garden. If you have heavy soil, mixing the sand into it could benefit many plants and would likely be appreciated for new plantings. It can also be mixed in when establishing a new lawn. Maybe a riding stable could take the sand off your hands for their riding arena or paddocks... though I’m not sure if this type of sand is suitable for that. This is just regular sand, right? Not one with any exotic additives?

It consists of rounded or angular grains; the grain size ranges from 0.07 up to 2.0 millimeters (0.003 to 0.08 inches).
Angular grains: only up to 25% used as an additive to riding sand; they abrade the hoof horn.

Screed thickness goes up to 8 millimeters (0.3 inches), for example.
The sand is better suited for garden use.
Ah, okay, then this is not suitable for the hooves.
