FAQ
Arena maintenance FAQ
Why do I need a drag?
Regardless of the makeup of your footing, over time it will become uneven and the materials will become unevenly distributed. Your riding arena footing will become depressed in the areas where the horses run and jump more frequently. At best, this uneven footing can cause your horse to underperform. At worst, it can cause serious injury and discomfort. With a drag, you can easily evenly distribute the materials, as well as dislodge materials that have bonded together.
How often should I drag my arena?
It depends on how many horses use the arena. If there is just one horse using it, dragging every 2–3 days should adequately redistribute and level the footing. However, the more horses that use it, the more often you will need to drag. Once a day works for most arenas, but heavily used arenas may need dragging multiple times daily. The important thing is to keep the arena surface as level as possible.
How do I know when I should drag my arena?
One of the most important aspects of dragging is timing it right. It is much better to drag more than necessary. Ruts can easily form, and the deeper they become the harder they are to fix. As soon as you notice any depressions — whether by sight or by walking on your arena — you should drag. Consistently dragging your arena will increase its lifetime and improve the experience for horses and riders.
Which drag is best for my arena?
The right drag depends on your footing type, arena size, and tow vehicle. Sandy footing works well with any model, but harder-pack or mixed surfaces benefit from the Arena Rake, Equi Groomer, or Arena Max with depth control systems. Contact us and we'll match the right groomer to your setup.
