Maintenance
Ebb and flow riding arenas are known for their longevity. But the key for a long-term success is a correct maintenance program. Straathof Manegebodems has the right machinery and materials to maintain and renovate your riding arena.
Our three tips for a perfect riding arena:
- The quality of a riding arena will become worse because of manure, falling leaves and branches. We therefore recommend that you remove horse manure immediately after riding or training and keep grass and weeds away from your arena.
- Make sure you are using an adequate arena drag and leveler to redistribute the uneven footing. And maybe even more important – don’t wait too long with it! Regular maintenance will give you a shorter processing time and your surface will stay in a better condition.
- To achieve the right maintenance of your riding arena you should not let the sublayer get packed. In often used riding arenas it is especially important to regularly condition the surface to the required depth and level it back to its original state.
