Protex Horse Arena Footing - River Grove Farm with Adrienne Lyle

 

ProTex™ Arena Footing – is our private label brand of textile footing designed for light use arenas. We have formulated ProTex for the budget minded arena owner that wants the benefits of a textile footing but is constrained by budget. Protex is manufactured for us by the GGT factory and is made from the same high quality felt and fiber materials. It is cut slightly smaller and has 10% fiber content. Use it for dressage rings and pleasure rings. ProTex offers excellent impact absorption, high traction and stability to support and protect your horses hooves and legs, all this at an affordable price. The GGT textile and fiber found in ProTex™ are made from new, not recycled, materials. This product is safe, non-toxic and non-allergenic and will not effect humans or animals. When comparing other textile products to ours. Be aware that many competing products from other competitors may come from post consumer waste, i.e. carpet fiber, upholstery, and urban waste products. These waste products may contain mold, bacteria and residue that may be harmful to you and your horse. Premier Equestrian only distributes GGT Footing textile products that are made from new polyester material. This assures that you are getting a clean non-toxic, non-allergenic material.

*Please Note: Premier Equestrian can guide you to find a footing solution suitable for you and your budget. However, unless you are contracting our consulting services, choosing the correct sand and mixing the product is your responsibility. Results can and will vary depending on what material is available in your area. If you choose to perform your own installation, which many people do, Premier Equestrian can not be and is not responsible or liable for your installation.  See tab: Recommended Sand or click here for sand quality and types of sand to determine if textile footing is right for you. Sand Note: All our footings are designed to be mixed with sand. There are, however, significant variations in sand in each area. Not all sands are appropriate to use as footing for your equestrian arena. There are many factors you should consider in determining the appropriate sand, including, without limitation, your riding style, the number of horses using the ring and the duration of such ring use, watering capability for the ring, the status of any current existing footing materials, seasonal weather conditions, and whether you ride on an indoor or outdoor horse arena. Combining textile and fibers with the correct type and depth of sand is required in order to build a safe arena surface. Please choose properly sized arena sand based on your proposed use.
