Our footing products are used in numerous arenas throughout the country, ranging from small, private farms to large-scale commercial ones. They are used by beginner and intermediate riders as well as  Olympic champions. We have the experience and the dedication to greatly improve your arena. Let us help you with your footing.

 

Philosophy

Before recommending an application, we always take into consideration your riding discipline, your existing footing, your desired changes, and your horses’ needs.

We recommend, and may perform testing on your existing footing in effort to arrive at the most accurate analysis.

Due to the fact that each application is unique, we have a variety of products, each with distinctive characteristics and purposes.

 

Arena Footings

Most Popular Additives:

Rubber - All of our rubber is clean & unused and is guaranteed to be free of metal, silicon, zinc, and other hazardous materials associated with tire rubber.  Unlike scrap tire dealers who are trying to unload mass quantities of contaminated tires, we have various blends that are created specifically for equestrians. 

  • Rubbermates - This family of granular rubber products is designed to reduce compaction, increase cush, minimize maintenance, & optimize toe penetration.  Rubbermates will soften your footing, help to break up a hard packed sand or stone dust, and minimize further packing. 
  • Rx - A flat, highly flexible rubber used to provide cush, compaction reduction, & stability. We often add this to loose sand because the flat pieces tend to overlap and knit together to improve stability and minimize shear, while still softening the arena. 

Fiber - Adding fiber to an arena cushions the footing and also increases stability.  Much like our Rx rubber, fibers tend to knit together and overlay one another, helping to create a more stable footing.  Another benefit of fiber is that small dust particles get trapped within the fabric's knit, keeping it from becoming airborne in your arena.  Furthermore, the moisture retention properties of the fibers tend to reduce the amount of watering needed. 
 

  • Eurofelt - The fiber materials of Eurofelt  increase stability, add cush, improve moisture retention, and reduce dust, making a really nice overall footing. Colors vary, mostly gray and tan.
  • Eurofelt Prime - Performance wise, our Eurofelt Prime is nearly identical to our standard Eurofelt but is available white. 

Custom blends of the above additives are available

Delivery: Most of our rubber products come in bulk, but bags can be arranged, if necessary.  Eurofelt & Eurofelt Prime are available in 850 pound bales.
