Premier Equestrian Introduces SandAid   Salt Lake City, UT (March 6, 2014) - To promote the best possible performance and safety for horses, good equestrians consider all factors that contribute to their rides; starting from the ground up. Premier Equestrian—a Utah-based company that manufactures and distributes dressage arenas, arena footing, and hundreds of other equine-related products—knows that success in the ring depends on everything from the rider on the horse’s back to the grains of sand beneath the horse’s feet. Premier Equestrian’s new product, SandAid, is a horse arena stabilizer meant to make all types of arena sand as effective and safe as possible for horse and rider teams.

SandAid improves the structure and sturdiness of the sand grains in an arena with the a special blend of Nylon and Polyester fibers. What makes SandAid unique is that it will mix with every type of sand.  Many footing additives will only perform with certain types of sand.  SandAid is a great solution for existing arenas that need an upgrade, but don’t possess ideal sand.  SandAid mixes into arena sand and will help prevent the arena from drying out. One of the great components of SandAid is it’s Nylon component.  Nylon will absorb water then release it back into the footing as it dries out.  This will greatly reduce the need to water arenas.  SandAid can stabilize loose and rolling sand particles as well as add cushioning properties to the footing. Premier Equestrian sees this product as an excellent way for people to improve their arena’s footing without having to deal with the cost and hassle of completely replacing it. SandAid is gentle on hooves, so it’s great for barefoot horses. It also helps prevent horses from slipping or from suffering too harsh of an impact when their hooves meet the ground. Using this product helps reduce dust in the ring, and it will work with any type of sand.  Premier Equestrian proudly advertises SandAid as “Made in America”, as is nearly every product they offer. Premier Equestrian recognizes that arena footing is most effectively used when it is tailored to the needs of a particular arena. The traffic that an arena experiences and the main function of an arena are just two of the factors used to determine what type of footing is most suitable. Premier Equestrian offers free sand analyses so riders can become more informed about the properties of their footing and how it can be improved. Since the company’s beginning in early 2000, Premier Equestrian has risen to a leading position in the industry of equine arenas, footing, and related products. The related products include dressage arenas, dressage letters, training obstacles, horse jumps, riding apparel, books, and DVDs. Premier Equestrian products such as footing and dressage arenas have appeared in the 2010 World Equestrian Games, the Del Mar National Horse Show, and the World Dressage Masters.
