Dust Control System

Clean air for horses and riders

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?
