The Problem... Competition and training places extraordinary demands on your horse's
respiratory system. Insufficient oxygen is a controllable factor limiting
performance. It can undermine performance longevity and limit your horse's true
athletic potential, not to mention the unhealthy and dangerous impact that dust
has on human health and well-being. Dust also causes housekeeping problems and
consumes time.
The Answer... Arena Rx® is the revolutionary new dust control agent which
eliminates human related health risks and enables equine athletes to attain peak
health and performance by eliminating airborne dust. Arena Rx® is designed
specifically for use in horse arenas, tracks, round pens, walkers, stable aisle
ways and other areas where horses train, work, exercise and perform. Arena Rx®
is made from a patented process and is a safe, colorless, odorless,
biodegradable, highly refined, synthetic, organic fluid, proven to be non-toxic
to humans, animals, marine life and plants. Arena Rx® can be used both indoors
and outdoors and does not freeze in cold weather climates. Your arena is able to
be used immediately after application.
How it Works... Arena Rx® coats and loads every individual footing particle
through a process of adsorption and absorption. The net result is footing that
doesn’t stick together, compact and form “globs”. The initial application is
designed to penetrate and treat all footing material. Subsequent light
maintenance applications are required when the footing begins to break down or
if new material is added. Because Arena Rx® has an accumulative effect on arena
footing materials, it’s easy to maintain control levels with the light
maintenance applications.
The Health & Performance
Factors... Athletic
performance places extra demands on your horse’s respiratory system.
Insufficient amounts of oxygen may be the most important factor limiting equine
performance. Also, heavy burdens of dust can decrease the ability of cells to
fight infectious agents such as bacteria by overloading the lung’s primary
defense mechanisms. A horse in a dusty environment will therefore be more prone
to respiratory caused performance problems and infection than a horse in a
cleaner environment. Proactively controlling dust to maintain peak performance
and health is a priority today in both equine and human medicine.
Watering, the most common dust control method, provides only temporary
control and worse, it works to create dust. Watering also needs to be done
continually in order to keep arena dust under control. Whenever the footing
dries out, the dust typically is worse than it was originally.
A Clean Air Policy... A pro-active approach to airborne dust addresses immediate
health issues to you, your client’s, boarder’s, everyone’s horses, and your
neighbors. It is increasingly difficult to overlook what it must be like when a
continual wall of dust invades a neighbor’s home. Arena Rx® produces a
healthier, cleaner, safer environment all around. A “good neighbor” health
policy goes a long way towards keeping clients, boarders and neighbors
happy.
What’s It Worth To You?... Horses require 3000% more oxygen while training and
competing than while at rest. When you compare the cost, there’s no question
Arena Rx® is far more cost efficient in the long run. By being pro-active, your
horse will maintain his health and enjoy peak performance as well. Just how
valuable is a dust free arena to you?
