Equestrian Arena Base Systems
The footing base and sub-base create a consistent and solid foundation for the footing layer in riding arenas, round pens, turnouts, and paddocks. Premier Equestrian offers a variety of arena base construction techniques and services, depending on your needs and budget.
Types of Horse Arena Base Systems
These arena base options can be used for any discipline in indoor and outdoor arenas. They provide drainage and mud control and prevent erosion. Shop our base products for a system that matches your budget and specific riding arena base needs.
Arion Ebb & Flow Arena
Automated arena watering and drainage
The Arion Ebb and Flow is an underground water system. It provides consistent hydration from below and pumps water out during heavy rainfall.
OTTO Sport Arena Mats
Stability, longevity, drainage & water storage
The best horse arena base material around, this mat system provides stability, cushion, rebound, and fast drainage.
Free Draining Base
Excellent drainage with separation of layers
A geotextile cloth separates the base layer from footing. Water percolates vertically for fast drainage.
Compacted Stone Base
Economical, moderate drainage, durable
The base is sloped or crowned so water can run to an edge and be drained away.
