Our Equestrian Footing Materials

Mixing our rubber materials with sand is a popular solution for reducing dust in equestrian arenas. This combination offers several benefits: it protects sand from breaking down, minimizes the need for costly replacements, provides a cushioned surface to reduce horse injuries, and even helps reduce sound.

FAQs

The best type of footing depends on your specific needs, such as the discipline you practice, the climate, and the type of horses using the arena. Common options include sand, wood chips, shredded rubber, and a combination of these materials. At Sparton Enterprises, we can provide the rubber materials used in combination with these common footing options.

Regular maintenance includes dragging or harrowing the footing to keep it level, controlling moisture to reduce dust, and periodically adding or replenishing materials as they break down or compact over time.
Dust can be minimized by regularly watering the footing, using dust control additives, or incorporating materials like shredded rubber mulch mixed with sand that naturally reduce dust.

A rubber mixture, often combined with sand, provides cushioning to reduce stress on horses' joints, decreases the likelihood of injury, extends the life of the footing, and can also reduce noise levels in the arena.

The frequency of replacing or refreshing footing depends on its use and the material. High-traffic arenas may require more frequent upkeep, while well-maintained footing can last several years before needing significant replenishment.
