the
latest
in
technology
and
our
20
years
of
equestrian
arena
foo:ng
experience.
Pinnacle
is
engineered
with
premium
materials
to

the
op:mum
in
shear
strength,
minimal
concussion
and
maximum
viscoelas:c
rebound.
Pinnacle
surfaces
are
formulated
from
high
quality
silica
sand
and
fibres,
and
coated
with
viscoelas:c
polymer,
to
bring
you
the
op:mum
in
shear
strength,
shock
absorp:on
and
maximum
viscoelas:c
rebound.
Pinnacle
is
laser
graded
to
a
uniform
depth
of
four
inches
over
a
carefully
graded
compacted
base.

high
quality
silica

10. Green Footings
Our
foo:ngs
are
now
available
in
a
green
shade.
This
'Green
Pinnacle'
as
we
refer
to
it
has
all
the
proper:es
of
our
high
performing
Pinnacle
foo:ng.
Addi:onally,
the
colour
resists
fading,
and
does
not
wash
out
in
rain.
Because
our
Green
Pinnacle
contains
very
pure
fibres
and
polymeric
coa:ng,
and
no
carpet
scrap
or
recycled
rubber
which
turns
the
foo:ng
black,
we
believe
we
are
the
only
company
capable
of
supplying
a
quality
green
product
that
will
remain
green
throughout
its
life.
• The
green
surface
gives
a
very
appealing
visual
result
• The
colourant
reflects
infra-‐red
radia<on
from
the
sun
and
keeps
the
foo<ng
cool
• The
coloured
surface
minimizes
glare
allowing
be/er
depth
percep<on
for
both
the
horse
and
the
rider
11. Portable Arenas
What
do
you
do
when
you
require
the
best
foo:ng,
but
only
for
a
limited
:me?
A"wood’s
Portable
Arenas
are
the
solu:on
to
this
surprisingly
common
problem.
Our
highly
acclaimed
EuroTex
foo:ng
is
laid
over
a
series
of
custom
made
mats,
and
can
be
removed
aVer
the
event
is
over.
The
foo:ng
retains
all
its
proper:es.
The
Menlo
Charity
Horse
Show
was
the
ideal
plaYorm
for
A"wood
to
demonstrate
this
technology.
The
2014
show
was
claimed
to
be
a
major
success
with
the
foo:ng
receiving
universal
praise.

12. AmeriTrack
This
complete
race
track
system
is
specifically
designed
and
formulated
for
horse
safety
and
injury
reduc:on.
AmeriTrack
is
engineered
with
a
free-‐draining
base
and
all-‐weather
cushion.
It
incorporates
a
ver:cal
drainage
system
which
eliminates
movement
of
the
cushion
to
the
rail
and
results
in
a
consistent,
no
bias
track.
Unlike
many
coated
surfaces,
AmeriTrack
is
manufactured
without
wax.
AmeriTrack
remains
stable
in
extreme
temperature
condi:ons.
During
high
temperatures,
it
will
not
melt
or
become
soV,
and
during
extreme
cold,
it
will
remain
soV
and
pliable,
rather
than
become
hard
and
bri"le.
• Dust-‐free
and
non-‐tacky
• Consistent
going
• Manufactured
from
premium
raw
materials
• Engineered
for
thoroughbred
training
and
racetrack
• Reduced
concussion

13. Additives – GGTTM
GGT’sTM
combined
Geo
felt
&
Polyester
fiber
deliver
greatly
improved
shear
strength
and
stability
over
the
surface.
Also,
aides
in
moisture
reten:on
and
concussion
reduc:on.
It
can
be
incorporated
into
new
or
exis:ng
sand
arenas.
14. Additives - EuroTex
This
new
addi:ve
from
Europe
is
truly
affordable
and
easy
to
install.
The
unique
composi:on
of
Polyester
and
rubber
fiber
is
further
enhanced
with
the
addi:on
of
Geopad
felt
and
Cleff
elas:cated
fibers
providing
lateral
and
ver:cal
binding
to
achieve
op:mum
consistency
and
cushioning.
It
can
be
incorporated
into
new
or

sand
arenas.
15. Additives – Micro Supreme
Our
own
special
poly-‐micro
fiber
is
100%
synthe:c
and
not
recycled,
meaning
that
its
proper:es
are
always
known
and
consistent.
When
added
to
sand
it
greatly
increases
the
shear
strength
of
the
sand
crea:ng
stability
and
concussion
reduc:on.
This
is
a
great
addi:ve
for
exis:ng
sand
arenas
that
may
have
had
other
tex:les
incorporated
in
the
past.
It
also
works
well
with
sand/stone-‐dust
arenas
by
providing
the
lateral
and
ver:cal
stability
for
the
horse
and
rider.
It
can
be
incorporated
into
new
or
exis:ng
sand
arenas.

“For
dressage
horses
this
foo:ng
has
the
right
amount
of
give
while
maintaining
stability.
When
you
pick
it
up
in
your
hands
it
feels
like
you're
squeezing
co"on
candy
and
when
you
relax
your
hold
it
bounces
back
in
a
three
dimensional
manner,
giving
you
the
impression
that
it
is
alive.
It
reacts
the
same
way
when
you
watch
a
hoof
land
on
it.
A
slight
depression
is
made
which
then
rebounds
back
to
its
original
form.
The
end
result
is
surprisingly
consistent
foo:ng.
What
amazed
me
the
most
was
that
at
the
end
of
each
day
my
boots
were
just
as
clean
and
shiny
as
they
were
early
in
the
morning
right
aVer
being
polished.
It
was
so
nice
not
to
have
the
usual
dust
and
sand
that
seems
to
s:ck
to
your
boots
like
glue.
