Horse Arena Footing by Discipline
Every discipline demands a different ArenaSpec™ spec. We tune the balance of FIBR, FLEX, and LOCK to match.

Dressage
A surface that responds uniformly — consistent depth, predictable grip, and even moisture behavior. Fibr and Lock ratios are tuned for rhythm and cadence.
- Uniform depth across the entire arena for balanced movement
- Predictable grip that supports collected and extended gaits
- Moisture-balanced surface that rides the same corner to corner

Hunter / Jumper
Reliable footing for takeoff and landing. Flex provides impact absorption while Fibr keeps the surface stable between rounds.
- Consistent take-off and landing zones that don't cup out
- Impact absorption to reduce concussion on joints
- Stable surface between fences with minimal displacement

Eventing
Cross-discipline demands from flatwork to stadium. Lock helps maintain performance across phases and weather conditions.
- Performs across flatwork, stadium, and warm-up conditions
- All-weather reliability from drainage to dust control
- Quick recovery after heavy use during multi-day events

Reining
Precise balance between grip and slide for stops, spins, and rollbacks. Lock manages dust while Fibr controls lateral shear.
- Controlled slide distance for safe, consistent stops
- Dust suppression for indoor and outdoor arenas
- Surface resets quickly between runs without deep grooming

Barrel Racing
High-speed turns demand reliable grip without excessive depth. Fibr provides structural stability under lateral force at speed.
- Reliable traction at speed through tight turns
- Prevents cupping and ruts around barrel pockets
- Firm, fast surface that doesn't slow the horse down

Western Performance
Quick transitions between grip and slide with effective dust management. The blend balances Fibr structure with Lock moisture control.
- Smooth transitions between grip and release for versatility
- Effective dust control for indoor arenas
- Low-maintenance surface that holds up under daily use

Polo / Sport Horse
Fast-paced play requires excellent drainage and consistent traction at speed. Lock ensures even moisture management across the surface.
- Fast drainage for play in variable weather
- Consistent traction at high speed across the field
- Surface recovers quickly from divots and heavy traffic

Driving
Carriages and carts need a firmer, more stable surface. Higher Fibr ratios provide consistent depth and reliable traction for wheels and hooves.
- Firm, supportive base that prevents wheels from sinking
- Consistent depth across the arena for safe turns
- Reliable surface for both hooves and carriage wheels

Lesson / Multi-Use
High-traffic arenas serving multiple disciplines. A balanced blend of all three components delivers forgiving, durable footing with minimal re-grooming.
- Holds up under heavy daily traffic from mixed use
- Forgiving surface that works for all skill levels
- Minimal re-grooming needed between sessions

Racing
Flat track and training surfaces demand consistent, fast footing with excellent drainage and low concussion. Fibr provides structural integrity at speed while Lock manages moisture for all-weather reliability.
- Firm, fast surface that supports full-speed galloping
- Excellent drainage for all-weather training and racing
- Concussion-reducing composition to protect limbs under high-speed impact

Dog Agility
High-speed turns, hard landings, and constant paw traffic demand a surface with reliable grip, consistent cushion, and all-weather drainage — engineered for canine athletes.
- Reliable traction at speed through tight turns and contacts
- Joint-friendly cushion that absorbs repeated impact
- Fast drainage for year-round training and competition
