Equi-tread Quality Crumb Rubber Arena Footings

Equi-tread Crumb Rubber Arena Footings is a clean, safe, resilient material that absorbs impact and even helps cushion rider falls. It is composed of small, irregularly shaped pieces of clean granulated rubber. Equi-tread does not deteriorate and does not need to be constantly replaced.  It will last indefinitely.

Also, crumb rubber is better than shredded rubber which tends to bind together.  Equi-tread will not bind together and stays in place. Equi-tread rubber arena footings allows the pore space in the footing to remain open: Open space lets water through the riding surface, rather than staying on top. This movement keeps the riding surface damp, thus helping in controlling the dust - which is especially important in a dry climate.  It works well in all seasons, staying cooler than sand in the summer while in the winter, it's black colour and rubber consistency will retain warmth and not freeze.  Its non-toxic properties also makes Equi-tread environmentally friendly.  It will not leach into ground water and is made entirely of recycled rubber from tires. SAFETY FIRST "Arena surfaces that are constructed using Equi-tread absorb more impact and cushion falls better than any other riding arena additive available. Equi-tread exceeds CPSC and ASTM safety guidelines for reducing the risks of injuries from unscheduled dismounts. Trainers and instructors who spend a lot of time on their feet in the arena will feel the benefits also". Equi-tread makes a difference: in a hardness study of arena surfaces, the addition of rubber was found to make the surface much more forgiving than an all sand arena. This resilient surface translates in less shock and fewer injuries to horses' tendons and joints allowing for increased training time.  Horses were found to be less fatigued after crumb rubber was added to their sand arena. Equi-tread can be used indoors or out in arenas, jumping stadiums, tracks and trails. An ideal footing should provide good traction, sufficient cushioning to absorb shock, and be non-irritating to both horse and rider.  Equi-tread rubber arena footing does all that and more. It minimizes the chances of injury to you and your horse. The elastic properties of Equi-tread cushion a horses' footfalls and minimize shock, joint stress and injured tendons. Your horse will love it!   Onsite arena consulting and design available. For more information please contact us!
