What is the best footing for an eventing arena?
Eventing arenas need all-weather stability above everything else. A firm, well-drained base under a consistent two- to three-inch surface keeps flatwork precise, stadium landings cushioned, and the ring rideable within hours of heavy rain.
What eventing demands from footing
Rideable within hours of rain
Drainage and a stable base decide whether you school tomorrow or wait three days.
Works for flatwork and stadium
The same ground has to support collected work and absorb landings without being re-worked between phases.
Recovers under volume
Warm-up rings take the most abuse of any surface on the property. They have to come back level.
