Equestrian World, by Tarter Gate Co., is proud to now offer Equestrian World Arena Footing in more than 6,000 retail stores nationwide. The arena footing is comprised of a mix of crumbled rubber, created from recycled tires. Steel is magnetically removed from the footing mix to create a safe, soft surface for both outdoor and indoor riding arenas. Equestrian World’s rubber footing saves and protects from wear and tear on horses joints, while putting an extra spring in their step.

When mixed with the correct amount of sand, Equestrian World’s Arena Footing effectively retains moisture, and has the density to prevent wind from blowing the footing out of the arena, therefore minimizing dust in both indoor and outdoor riding environments.

Whether you own dressage horses or barrel racers, no more than 2 inches of Equestrian World arena footing will ever be necessary to prepare and maintain your arena. When well maintained, crumbled rubber footing will last for many years as an effective footing system for all types of arenas.
"Arena footing was a natural addition to the Equestrian World line," said Josh Tarter, Director of Manufacturing at Tarter Gate Co. "Rubber footing is effective and innovative, and we wanted to make it convenient for our customers to purchase this state-of-the-art footing directly through more than 6,000 retail stores."
