Riding arena maintenance solutions

“Clouds of Dust” are for Movies, Not Your Riding Arenas

Riding arena dust control eliminates problems ranging from compromised equine and human health to reduced visibility to complaints about dust from nearby communities to deterioration of arena bases. Those relying exclusively on water for riding-arena maintenance know that supplies can be scarce and prohibitive and that ongoing watering requires considerable manpower. Further, PM10 and PM2.5 emissions are dangerous to both health and safety, and the absence of effective arena dust control can negatively affect business.

A closer look at the health factor
It is an acknowledged fact that horses require 3000 percent more oxygen while training and competing than when they are at rest, an oxygen level they are unable to reach where riding arena dust control is poor. Insidiously, dust particles emitted at indoor arenas, outdoor riding areas, round pens, walkers and stable aisle ways infiltrate a horse’s respiratory system. This potentially leads to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, heaves, and other health-and performance-related health issues for horses. When riding arena maintenance is sub-standard, the health of riders and spectators subject to asthma and breathing problems is also jeopardized.
