A little goes a long way, when using Noviun fiber footing. Unlike geotextile and fiber additives made from plastics and synthetics, a fraction of the weight of Noviun is recommended to produce superior results.
Use our arena footing calculator to provide you with estimated volumes and costs, based on your unique riding discipline and levels. As with all footing additives, there is no exact measurement that works for everyone, but we provide an ideal starting point and opt to select more based on your unique feedback desired.
Give us a few minutes to calculate this and we will email you within 5 minutes.

Reduce your water and carbon footprint with plastic-free footing that's good for your horses and our environment with plant-based Noviun. This performance fiber footing is an all-natural blend of fibers and elastomers designed to reinvigorate sand arenas and tracks to world-class riding surfaces, by providing superior traction and grip with natural absorption and cushioning.
The first industry solution to decrease concussion and increase water absorption better than conventional synthetic geotextiles and fibers like European or German geotextiles, while eliminating microplastic contamination from your footing and surrounding air and watershed.
Noviun is compatible with a wide range of sand and environments and differs from man-made alternatives as the natural fibers act like a root structure, binding to your sand.
Once Noviun™ Fiber Footing is installed, riders have described the following benefits:
Natural Absorption
and Cushioning
Indoor or Outdoor Usage
High Water
Retention
Dust Reduction
Dust Reduction
Premier Cushioning and Stability
All- Weather Compatible
Plastic can be found in many footing additives. The goal when developing Noviun, was to displace the hundreds of thousands of pounds of plastic in arenas while increasing the performance and ensuring longevity compared to current plastic-based solutions. To make the first sustainable footing solution for arenas and horse racetracks.
Industry fibers are made of polypropylene or other man-made synthetics like those used to make carpet. These waste textiles, carpets or even virgin textiles have been found to provide structure to the sand, yet come at a high environmental cost. A typical 100 x 200 foot arena would use about 15,000 pounds of this plastic fiber which is equivalent to almost 500 thousand water bottles worth of plastic.
When adding plastic textiles to your footing, the plastic degrades into micro and nano plastic environmental pollution. After each rain or irrigation, it would cause an estimated 14 billion of these microplastic fibers to be shed into the surrounding ground and watershed. Thanks to the research and testing with NFW on natural fiber welding and industry arena expertise of long-time arena builder and consultant, Dan Carr, Noviun has now taken the market from geotextile and fiber based footing alternatives to allow for a green footing option.
Noviun™ Fiber arrives on pallets. If you do not have machinery to unload pallets from a truck, we require our convenient lift gate service that will lower and place the pallets conveniently nearby.
Add BaseCore™, to control erosion and
drainage of your soils.
Add Geotextile fabric that is strong, puncture
and UV resistant, and allows water flow
Starting at$139.00
We offer geotextile fabric that is strong, puncture and UV resistant, and allows water flow. These features help to prevent weeds, mildew, freezing and thawing resistance and rot. Nonwoven geotextiles mean that a stronger foundation can be made with fewer materials.
Like our BaseCore™ geocells, geotextile fabric stabilizes the ground by spreading loads over a larger area. By being lighter, less expensive, and thinner than layers of gravel, it makes financial and environmental sense to use this around your barn, stables and arenas.

You can use different footing products together to create a stable, long-lasting surface that will provide multiple benefits to your riding arena or roadways.
Our experts can discuss all the footing options and help you determine the best product and quantity for your specific arena and budget.
Noviun can be easily installed without the need for outside help. It can be done one of three ways. 1.) use a manure spreader (fastest) 2.) pitch fork throwing 3.) put in tractor bucket and shake out then even it out a bit by hand. You can then simply rake it in, drag it in, or use a harrow.
Depending on the method used, it takes about 3 hours to install a full-size dressage arena and 6 hours to install a 40,000 sqft arena
It doesn't add physical depth to your current footing, yet acts as a root-like structure grabbing onto the sand and absorbing moisture.
No not at all…so technically, sand doesn’t attach to ggt that’s why it rises to the top and noviun attaches itself to the sand which will ultimately reduce water
No special drags are required like those required for GGT or carpet based footing additives. We recommend the use of our Arena Dragster, the EquiGroomer, or the preferred double-roller based Synergy
Jennifer Benoit-Wellington –
To say that I am particular about the footing for my dressage horses is an understatement! I always loved GGT footing and as a Grand Prix rider and trainer as well as a licensed “S” dressage judge, I am very familiar with the other products on the market. When I learned about Nuvian footing, I was quite skeptical about the science behind its binding technology and wondered if it was just another “green” product that wouldn’t perform well enough to be competitive. I am beyond thrilled with the results we have experienced at my training facility! My FEI level horses feel like they are on a trampoline. My clients say it’s like riding on a cushion. The horses are more consistently connected and moving with elasticity! Do yourself and your horses a great service and get Nuvian footing!

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to

Ordered a few rolls for a new round pen. Thick stuff and works great. I appreciated all the ideas from the performance footing staff in this rebuild.
