OTTO Perforated Mat

OTTO Sport Base Mats are made of resilient material that is specially designed for equestrian sports. They are used in equestrian arenas and round pens, underneath the top layer to provide maximum drainage, water conservation, concussion mitigation and stability for horse and rider.

Each mat is 46″ x 33.5″ (1 sq meter or 10.7 sq ft) and weighs approximately 38.6 lbs.

Maximum Drainage

Water Conservation

OTTO Sport Arena Base Mats absorb up to 40% of the energy caused by the foot fall and return energy back to the horse.

Locking Rings

01

Drainage holes double as locking rings to prevent mat shifting, creating a separation between footing and the substance.

02

Reservoirs hold water, releasing it back into the footing to maintain even hydration.

03

Traction Knobs of varied heights prevent the horse from slipping while allowing some hoof movement.

04

Locking Rings lock mats into the surface due to their conic shape. This prevents shifting and stones can't travel up into the footing.

BASE MATS FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Reliable and Quick Drainage

Farewell to puddles and closed arenas

Water puddles are annoying and dangerous. OTTO Sport Base Mats are designed to drain excess water quickly. Combined with a suitable sub-base and top layer, 252 holes in each mat provide fast drainage, making muddy arenas and round pens a thing of the past.

The layer under the mats creates a pathway for high-volume vertical drainage. Traditional arena bases are designed for water to flow over them (horizontal drainage) and can be slow. OTTO Sport Base Mats allow water to flow through quickly.

Water Storage

Keeps footing moist and money in your pocket

A system of water cups on the top side of the arena mats hold enough water to consistently supply the footing with moisture for an extended period of time.

Each mat holds up to one gallon of water. That equals 1,200 gallons for a standard 20m x 60m dressage court! The entire surface maintains even hydration for a more consistent footing.

Concussion Absorption

Protect Your Horse’s Tendons and Joints

Bent_OTTO PerforatedMat

Concussion absorption

Horses apply a considerable amount of force to the surface, especially when jumping.

OTTO Sport Arena Base Mats absorb more than 40% of the force applied on the surface (Based on a scientific study by the German Association for Technical Inspection). This means that the surface absorbs a large part of the force instead of traveling back into the horses’ legs, straining joints, tendons and ligaments.

Rebound

Return the energy

In addition to shock absorption, an ideal riding surface returns a part of the applied force. This helps horses conserve and recycle energy as they aren’t working against the surface.

OTTO Perforated Mat

Due to the ideal density of the recycled PVC material used to produce the OTTO Sport Base Mats, the mat not only absorbs a large part of the force applied on it, but it also provides the horses’ legs with the optimal amount of rebound.

Skid Resistance

​Lean back and relax … or rather lean sideways

Horses accelerating and making sharp turns need especially good grip and must not slip.

A system of high and low traction-knobs maximize stability in the footing and prevents horses from slipping – a clear advantage during sharp turns. OTTO Sport Arena Mats provide enough grip while allowing some movement of the hoof, minimizing concussion and hyper-flexion of tendons and ligaments during each phase of movement.

Clean Separation of Layers

Everything stays where it is supposed to – including the Mat itself

Separationoflayers

OTTO Sport Base Mats create a clean and durable separation between sub-base (in most cases crushed stone) and footing (sand/textile blend).

Conic-shaped locking rings on the bottom side of the mats secure them into the sub-base to prevent shifting and creating a durable separation layer to prevent base stones from traveling up into the footing.

Otto Sport Paddock Mats

Interlocking Mats Expansion Gaps vs. Expansion Gaps
Any material tends to expand when warming and contract when cooling. For large areas like paddocks or equestrian arenas, even a slight expansion has a great impact, such as waves in the surface. Systems that interlock or install edge-to-edge will bulge out when warming. Sand can trickle down in the emerging cavities, forcing the mat up and dislodging it from its initial position.

OTTO Sport Base Mats are installed with an expansion gap between each mat. During strong temperature changes, the mats can expand and shrink without affecting neighboring mats. Along with the locking rings and weight holding them in place, sand cannot get under the mats, eliminating bulging and shifting of the surface.

Receiving Your Delivery


This page contains crucial information for proper delivery of your items!

Sundance Dressage Arenas:

For ultimate shipping protection, your new Sundance Arena is boxed and banded to a pallet. The rail pallet is almost 14 ft long. Due to the length, your assistance is required to offload the boxes. Assistance includes providing offloading equipment (a forklift, farm equipment with offloading capability, or pallet jack) or multi-person assistance.

If you do not have equipment, use heavy duty wire cutters or snips to cut the banding and offload the boxes by hand. It is your responsibility to discard the pallet afterwards. Please note: offloading will require 2 people, as the driver may or may not help with unloading. It is up to their discretion.

FOR ALL DELIVERIES

Before the Driver Leaves:

1. Count your boxes against the delivery receipt
