Horse Arena Footing & Installation in Canada
Premium Arena Surfaces for Canada’s Equestrian Community
At Performance Footing, we regularly supply Canada’s top equestrians with our arena footing solutions. In Canada’s diverse regions, arena footing needs vary greatly—from the rainy conditions of British Columbia, the freeze-thaw cycles of Alberta and Manitoba, to the dust and dryness of Saskatchewan and Ontario’s summer months. Riders and facility owners require low-maintenance footing solutions that can adapt to seasonal changes while providing consistent traction, cushioning, and dust control without excessive watering or intensive upkeep.
At Performance Footing, we specialize in waterless, natural and innovative additives for footing. Solutions designed to minimize dust, enhance stability, and improve moisture retention—without relying on constant irrigation. Our advanced footing blends include:
- Arena Green – A sustainable, water-free solution that keeps your surface firm yet cushioned, eliminating the need for daily watering.
- Noviun Natural Fibers – Plant-based fibers designed to bind with the footing, reducing compaction and promoting elasticity in all seasons.
- EcoStride, Levitare, and FoamFooting Additives – Soft rubber-based materials that integrate seamlessly with the footing to enhance shock absorption and prevent surface hardening in extreme cold.
We work with riders, trainers, and equestrian facility managers across Canada, from high-performance hunter and jumper arenas in Calgary and Toronto to private stables in Nova Scotia and Vancouver, ensuring that footing stays safe, stable, and resilient year-round.

Common Challenges Canadian Arenas Face
Equestrian facilities must contend with seasonal changes, varying moisture levels, and high-impact riding disciplines such as show jumping, dressage, reining, and more. If you have an indoor, covered or outdoor each requires its own considerations. This combined with the availability of local quality sands may also drive your selection to the proper additive or arena footing solution. Without the right footing solutions, arenas can suffer from:
- Dust Control Without Watering – Traditional footing quickly dries out, leading to airborne dust that affects visibility and respiratory health. Waterless footing solutions help retain surface integrity without constant irrigation, ensuring consistent riding conditions.
- Freeze-Thaw Resistance – Harsh winters can cause footing to harden excessively, while thawing in spring loosens and destabilizes the surface. Additives like FoamFooting and Levitare enhance elasticity, preventing the surface from becoming too compacted in winter or too loose in spring.
- Drainage & Mud Management – Heavy rainfall can oversaturate arenas, leading to unstable footing and pooling water. Advanced solutions like Arena Green create a firm, moisture-balanced surface that remains rideable even in wet conditions.
- Compaction from Heavy Use – Arenas used for high-impact training and frequent riding sessions often suffer from surface hardening, reducing shock absorption and comfort for both horse and rider. Fibers and rubber additives integrate into the footing to improve cushioning, elasticity, and long-term stability with minimal maintenance.
At Performance Footing, we provide high-quality, low-maintenance footing options that keep arenas safe and functional in every season, reducing water dependence and long-term maintenance costs.
Advanced Arena Footing Solutions for Canada
1. Arena Green – A Proven Water-Free Footing Solution
Arena Green is a high-performance, water-free solution designed to:
- Reduce the need for frequent watering, saving time and resources.
- Maintain consistent traction and stability, regardless of temperature changes.
- Create a naturally firm yet cushioned surface, reducing joint strain on horses.
Arena Green is perfect for indoor and outdoor riding arenas, helping equestrians minimize maintenance while ensuring a safe, dust-free riding surface year-round.
2. Fiber Additives – Keeping Footing Springy and Resilient
Fibers work by binding with the footing to:
- Prevent compaction and surface hardening, especially in cold winter months.
- Enhance surface elasticity, ensuring better hoof support and impact absorption.
- Improve stability in the surface.
3. Soft Rubber Additives – Cushioning & Impact Reduction
EcoStride, Levitare, and FoamFooting are soft rubber-based additives designed to:
- Improve footing flexibility, keeping it soft and supportive in all temperatures.
- Absorb shock to reduce stress on horses’ joints and tendons.
- Retain moisture naturally, reducing the need for artificial watering.
- Bind with existing footing to prevent surface erosion and excessive dust.
Whether your arena is in the colder regions of Alberta and Manitoba, the rain-heavy climate of British Columbia, or the dry summers of Saskatchewan and Ontario, these innovative additives help create a long-lasting, high-performance footing system that minimizes maintenance and maximizes comfort.
