Top:
One-time use only footing »
a. Local sand, typically a porous mineral type,
b. Sand depth typically 2" to 4" depth (depending upon the riding discipline or type of competition)
b. which sand becomes intermingled with the base layer (below),
c. at the end of the use, this sand must be hauled away for
Top:
Re-usable, portable footing »
Multiple, interchangeable footing may be applied.
    These might include:
a. Rounded washed sand for Western Equitation, rodeos, roping & reining competitions or shows, etc.
b.  
Base:
One-time use only
base  »
a. clay, typically 4" to 5" depth: leveled, graded and compacted.
b.
Base:
Re-usable, portable  base »
ProEquus® WE40™ or OT40™
structural perforated mat system.












[That's it, sorry if you were expecting more.]
Summary:
The (above) typical riding arena (i) subsoil, base, (ii) drainage and (iii) separating layer design/construction requiress:
a. trainloads of drain rock and gravel and clay,
b. thousands of square feet of geocloths,
c. dozens to hundreds of hours of heavy construction equipment,
d. dozens to hundreds of hours of skilled construction equipment operators labor,
e. for outdoor arenas - additional external runoff management structures, such as French drains, sheetwater diversion trenching, infiltration or water retention structures, etc.
 = all money misspent, long before the top footing (equine performance) layer is even addressed.
Summary:
The ProEquus arena systems
replace all of the typical arena
design/construction elements.

Additional features & benefits:
Not Included


(any addional arena design base/drainage or footing layer enhancements are" extra")
Additional features & benefits:
The ProEquus sytems also provides additional features which are not supported by conventional arena designs:
a. enhanced moisture retention features,
b. enhanced footing traction features for various riding styles,
c. enhanced elasticity + resiliency (to promote horse-healthy footing)
d. prevention of sand compaction (to prevent "dead spots" or over-compacted sand)
