The Importance of Good Arena Footing

Soundness and performance are the main focus on most discussions of riding surfaces.
Ever since people started using riding arenas when working with their horses they were experimenting with the large variety of materials for the use of footing.

Today`s findings from scientific research on equestrian footings can be combined with specialists` practical experiences to produce a sound and good surface. Still, advice on the construction of riding arena surfaces has been based on experience and personal opinion. Experience and know-how is important to create a good riding surface, maintenance and moisture content is key to performance of any riding ring.
