EHG Arena Surfacing

Riding Arena Footing

If you are having a horse farm or planning for one, then riding arenas are a must. If you are thinking of an indoor or an outdoor arena, then also you should know the fundamentals of riding arena footing. This is needed because the horses had to be exercised and schooled. For any type of horse training, a dedicated riding arena had to be prepared. The horse riding arena could be a simple outdoor ring done on a shoestring budget or a perfectly designed and laid out competition quality riding arena costing a fair amount. The riding arena footing should reduce compaction and at the same time control dust.

Usually, two types of floorings are used for the best riding arena footings. The first one is a porous floor category, which would have a foundation of sand or a mixture of sand and gravel underlying the top flooring. This porous foundation would help the water and the urine to drain into the ground at the bottom. Riding arena footing with water proof materials had to be designed with an inclination towards one side that leads to a drain, so that the urine and water do not stagnate in the arena surface. However, even these water-impervious floorings generally have a few inches of sand & gravel as the underlying foundation.

The hoser riding mats that are prepared from hundred per cent elastic PVC materials are ideal materials for riding arena footing. The combination of innoReittex and the German hoser mat system had been appreciated and demanded by discerning arena owners. These systems not only minimize shock and concussion for the horses even during hard training sessions but also have built-in facilities for complete water drainage.
