Ride Better. Train Harder. Protect your horse.
Discover arena footing engineered for peak performance and long-term health.
Why Add Footing Additives?
Superior shock absorption – geo‑textile fibers blend with sand to create a springy yet supportive surface, easing concussion on joints, tendons and ligaments for horse and rider.
Dust Control – with the right moisture level, fibers hold water far longer than just sand, keeping airborne particles down and airways clear.
Reliable traction & stability – additives bind loose grains and prevent deep divots or slick spots so every stride feels more consistent.
Lower upkeep costs – fewer watering cycles and less frequent dragging, mean more time in the saddle and less time on maintenance.
Benefits You’ll Feel Every Ride
Healthier horses – fewer soft‑tissue injuries and faster post‑work recovery.
Confident riders – a predictable surface encourages bold schooling and correct biomechanics.
Professional presentation – a clean, dust‑free arena elevates your facility image for clients, boarders and show officials.
Peace of mind – engineered additives are non‑organic, so they won’t mold or rot even in wet climates.
What Can Footing Additives Do?
Locks in moisture for days, not hours → fewer hoses, sprinklers and water‑truck runs.
Even, resilient footing that resists compaction yet won’t dig out; ideal for dressage, jumping and rehabilitation work.
All‑weather performance – drains fast in heavy rain but stays hydrated in dry spells, keeping the arena ride‑ready year‑round.
Extended sand life – fibers slow breakdown and wind loss, stretching every load of footing further.
Know the Limitations: What Footing Additives Can’t Do
Not a base repair: Additives can’t stabilize a shifting, poorly graded base; fix the base construction before adding fibers to improve arena performance.
Sand matters: An arena that rides deep or loose because of poor sand gradation or shape may need correction before fibers can be added.
Maintenance required: Routine watering and dragging are still required; additives reduce frequency but will not eliminate essential upkeep tasks.
Fix drainage: Poor drainage or a flat base can cause puddling; additives can’t create runoff channels or fix infrastructure.
Top‑ups are inevitable: Fibers degrade under traffic and weather; plan periodic top‑ups to maintain cushion and performance levels.
