Straathof Arena Footing
Every equestrian knows the importance of a high quality footing environment. A surface that is too hard, deep, soft or inconsistent may lead to unnecessary injury risks and reduce the performance of both horse and rider.
A “perfect” surface should offer resistance to allow a push-off without the horse sinking too deeply and at the same time has to be firm enough to provide a good grip. It has to remain moisturized and cannot be too slippery, dusty or sharp to horse hooves. In addition the surface needs to be freeze-resistant and of course easy to maintain.
An ebb and flow riding arena can create a stable surface for a year- round use. This system will allow you to control the ebb and flow of water to your arena, creating constant and perfect moisture. Moreover, this environmentally friendly solution is made of 100% natural materials which will reduce any disposal costs to a minimum.
