Equiterr: All-Weather Arena Surface + Your Chance to Win 4 VIP Tickets to Sydney World Cups

Published on Tuesday, March 22, 2011 in General

Are you tired of not being able to ride due to a boggy arena?  Sick of horses standing in muddy yards?  Then Equiterr all-weather arena surfacing is the perfect solution for you!

Equiterr is a new generation in all weather arena surfaces. Tested under European weather conditions, Equiterr offers a durable and long lasting equine exercise surface.

Elite Dressage competitor, Brett Parbery (pictured right) is very impressed with Equiterr, saying, “I’ve seen the Equiterr panelling used extensively throughout Europe and it’s fantastic to now have it available for Arena surfaces here in Australia!  It’s not only great for creating all-weather surfaces but also provides a very even surface for riding in general.”

“The Equiterr can be used all over the property, I’m looking forward to putting it into my day yards to eliminate the problem I have with water pooling in them, creating muddy yards.  The Equiterr will give the horses a well-drained, much drier surface, and the best thing is that the grass can still grow through the panels!”

As Brett mentions Equiterr is not only suitable for arenas, but also muddy yards, round yards, around gates and water troughs.

  • EquiTerr has proven its qualities in top European stables over many years. It is now available in Australia.
  • EquiTerr is a permanently elastic floor panel, specially developed to create a stable and non-skidding surface for riding and exercise areas of all types.
  • An arena created using EquiTerr can be ridden on in all weather, even during periods of sustained rain.
  • The EquiTerr panel separates the substructure from the top layer, taking the impact of the hooves and allowing water drainage. By doing so EquiTerr stabilizes the substructure and prevents it from mixing with the top surface sand/ rubber.
  • EquiTerr can minimise the cost of sand/ rubber needed as a top layer for your arena.
  • Once laid, EquiTerr surfaces require modest expenditure on maintenance.

FEATURES:

  • Elastic and durable base;
  • Permanently water-permeable base reduces water pooling the surface;
  • Reduces the need for a thick sand/ rubber top layer;
  • Prevents the arena substructure and the sand upper mixing;
  • Resistant to weathering;
  • Absorbent to the impact of hooves;
  • Can be laid easily and quickly; and
  • Long term solution that reduces on-going expenditure on maintenance.

I think this competition is cool! I also think they should offer free airfares in this competition so winners in New Zealand can book a flight to Australia to see Sydney World Cups!
