Safe, predictable footing for every rider.

Therapeutic riding and equine-assisted therapy programs serve some of the most vulnerable populations in the equestrian world. Riders with physical disabilities, cognitive challenges, PTSD, and developmental disorders depend on a completely predictable, safe arena surface — because even minor inconsistencies that an experienced rider would barely notice can create dangerous situations for participants with limited balance, coordination, or reaction time.

Beyond rider safety, therapeutic programs have unique demands that standard footing providers rarely consider. Side-walkers and therapists walk alongside horses for hours — they need a surface that's comfortable and stable on foot. Mounting areas must accommodate wheelchairs and mobility devices. And therapy horses, who work long hours at slow gaits, need joint-friendly footing that reduces the cumulative stress of repetitive, low-speed work.

Performance Footing has worked with PATH International centers and therapeutic riding programs across the country. We understand the safety-first requirements, the budget constraints of grant-funded programs, and the documentation needs that come with institutional and nonprofit operations.
