- Environmentally friendly and cost-effective, these dust control solutions ensure a safer and more comfortable working or living environment for you and your horse.

Crystals absorb water and release it back into the footing over time.
What does arena footing cost and how do I choose?
Horse arena footing does not have a one-size-fit’s-all solution. Several factors affect what footing product will work best for your situation and the cost. Want to discuss the nitty-gritty details between rubber, synthetic, or fiber footing for horse arenas? We offer a complimentary phone consultation to hear about your needs, answer footing questions, and discuss options.
Shopping Tip:
To get an accurate idea of what footing will cost for you, make sure you’re comparing apples to apples. Many footing companies will advertise cost per sq ft based on 2.5” of sand. However, most arenas require 3—3.5” of sand. Also make sure you’re comparing bale weight.
