In dealing with horses responsibly, their
health is your main concern. The old
English saying: ‘No hoof, no horse’
sums it up – legs and hooves are the most
precious parts of a horse and need to be
protected.
Whether a horse is involved in sports or
recreation, the flooring that it moves on
every day is most important. Longterm
stress due to improper flooring can lead
to serious harm and injuries.
While a surface that is too firm stresses
the joints, a floor that is too soft puts a
strain on the tendons. Wet and heavy
surfaces can cause thrush, and dusty ones
are bad for the lungs of the horse and
rider.

4. Riding Arena Design
ProEquus® offers the right flooring system
for all requirements.
Based on the experience of international
equestrian sports, permanent riding arenas are
always built using a 3-layer system.
FOOTING Layer
Separating Layer
Sub-base Layer
The use of a separating layer allows for major
material and cost savings regarding the footing
and sub-base layers.
Also, a thinner, high grade footing layer
significantly reduces maintenance.

5. Footing Layers
ProEquus® offers the right footing layer for every
discipline. Various types of high grade silica sand,
geotextile shreds and fibres as well as eco-friendly
additives to prevent freezing and accumulation of
dust are blended to create stable yet elastic
footing layers with maximum grip.
Requiring little maintenance, they continue to
provide good drainage and produce minimal dust.

6. Separating Layers
Grid and Mat Systems
A range of synthetic riding mats is used as a
separating layer between the footing and
sub-base layers. With their sophisticated
structures, perfect elasticity and
permeability, these mats
provide durability, stability
and improved grip.

grids are connected with a bonding-plug system,

kinds of events.

7. Riding Arena Maintenance
Indoor and Outdoor Irrigation Systems
Irrigation systems made in Germany ensure an
even humidification in order to maintain optimal
firmness of the ground. Due to decreased
trituration of the sand, they extend the life span
of the footing layer considerably.

10. Rubber and PVC for Stables
Rubber and PVC floors for use in stables are
superior to wood or concrete flooring. They are
urine resistant, hygienic, wear- free and feel
very similar to natural ground. Unlike wood or
concrete, these floors do not trap ammonia, thus

reducing unpleasant odors. The horse enjoys
a no-slip, heat-insulating, shock and soundabsorbent floor. Joints and hooves are protected;
the risk of injury is minimized.
Stable Mats
Reduced amounts of litter mean
less work, less dust, and an
improved stable climate.
Stable Mat
„ES27“
Seamless Rubber Flooring
This flooring consists of natural
rubber, EPDM rubber granulate and
hardener. It is seamless, impervious, elastic,
hygienic, shock and sound-absorbent, making it
ideal for stable aisles, stalls and trailers.
Impact Protection Mats
Perfectly suited for minimizing stress and risk of
injury in stalls and trailers.
Drainage Mats and H-Block Paving
Optimal for stable aisles and, due to their
permeability also perfect for wash areas.

11. Horse Solariums
Apart from their positive effect on
the immune system, these
solariums are mainly used to
quickly warm up and relax
muscles and tendons
before a riding session.
