Soil Moist
Horse Arena Dust Control with Soil Moist Arena Conditioner
Soil Moist granular (2-4mm) can also be used as an amendment/conditioner for equestrian riding arenas, both indoor and outdoor arenas. It is a safe, non-toxic chemical that will reduce watering by approximately 50%** and control dust.
The granular is worked into the soil at a depth of 3-5 inches, depending on the footing, at rates specified on our technical sheet, form # 150. Good initial soaking is required to insure that both the soil and the polymer absorb water. Watering routines should be normal for 5 to 7 days. Reductions and watering rates can then be established. From the initial soaking, the polymer will soften and swell. As the soil starts to dry, the polymer will release its water reservoir back to the surrounding area. As an added benefit, the continuous expansion and contraction of the polymer reduces soil compaction.
Benefits:
• Reduces arena watering by approximately 50%**
• Controls dust – by keeping the arena moisture level higher
• Adds bounce to the riding surface
• Lasts several seasons in the soil**
• Cost effective
• Non-irritating to the horse
• Environmentally friendly

Premier Equestrian
What Exactly Is Arena Footing? Premier Equestrian has a Simple Explanation
Horse arena footing is a critical aspect of equestrian health and performance that is often overlooked. Proper footing can make all the difference in terms of comfort, safety, and performance of both horse and rider. Unfortunately, many arenas are constructed with inadequate footing, which can lead to injuries, lameness, and poor performance.
Arena footing refers to the surface that the horse moves on. Footing quality affects the horse’s balance, stability, and movement. The footing should be firm enough to support the horse’s weight, but also soft enough to absorb impact and prevent injuries. The ideal footing will also provide good traction, which helps the horse maintain balance and reduces the risk of slips and falls.
Inadequate footing can cause a range of health issues, including soreness, strain, and even serious injuries. It can also lead to poor performance, as the horse struggles to maintain balance and move effectively. This can be frustrating for both the horse and rider and can ultimately lead to a decrease in motivation and enjoyment.
Investing in high-quality arena footing is essential for the health and performance of horses in equestrian sports. While it may require an upfront investment, the long-term benefits of a properly constructed arena are well worth it. Horse owners can prioritize the safety and wellbeing of their animals by ensuring that their arenas are constructed with high-quality footing that provides the necessary support, cushioning, and traction for optimal performance.
