What does the EZ Groomer actually do in one pass?
The EZ Groomer is a three-stage arena drag that scarifies, mixes, and levels in a single trip around the ring. Vibrating "S" tines loosen and blend the footing to a set depth, a leveling bar follows behind to fill in holes and shave down high spots, and a rear roller conditions the surface while gauging tine depth so the cut stays even. The result is the "One Pass, Once and Done" finish Mike Gibbons built the company around — mix evenly, level with no high or low spots, and leave a clean, beautiful surface.

Which footing types and arenas can it handle?
Standard EZ Groomers work on natural dirt, sand, and sand-with-synthetic blends — the surfaces found in most riding arenas, round pens, and practice pens. For all-synthetic footing, EZ Groomer offers coil tines that can be specified at purchase or retrofitted later, so the same frame keeps working as your footing evolves. Whether you ride dressage, run barrels, rope, or just school at home, the groomer is engineered to break up compacted material, redistribute it, and leave a consistent surface every pass.

How do you pick the right tractor or ATV model?
Tractor units are standard 3-point mounted and run from the EZ-4 ($1899.00) up through the EZ-12 ($3449.00), with Heavy-Duty versions adding a third row of S-tine diggers for harder ground — for example the EZ-8HD ($3099.00) or EZ-12HD ($4049.00). The standard models carry two rows of S-tines; the HD models carry three. ATV/UTV pull-behind versions use the same proven frame with extra parts so they tow off a 2" ball: the ATV-4 ($2,199.00) suits smaller pull vehicles, the ATV-5 ($2,349.00) fits average to bigger ATVs, and the ATV-6 ($2,499.00) is sized for side-by-sides.
Does it ship assembled, and how do you order? Every EZ Groomer arrives fully assembled on a pallet, ready to work — no assembly required, no bolt-up kit to fight with. The company partners with trusted freight carriers to deliver competitive rates directly to your farm.

What makes the EZ Groomer a smart value buy?
EZ Groomer's pitch is straightforward value: U.S.-built drag groomers priced below competitors, sold factory-direct, and frequently discounted (the site has promoted "$200 Off" on groomers). Because the units ship ready to run and ride low on the price scale for their size, they appeal to private barn owners and trainers who want professional, level footing without an arena-conditioning machine's price tag. As a veteran, family-run operation, the company answers the phone seven days a week and stands behind the durability of every unit.
What does an EZ Groomer arena drag groomer actually do?
An EZ Groomer is an arena drag groomer that handles the three jobs every arena needs: it mixes the footing, levels out high and low spots, and leaves a smooth, inviting surface to ride on. Vibrating "S" tines loosen and mix the footing to your set depth, a leveling bar carries dirt to fill holes, and a rear roller conditions the surface and gauges tine depth for a consistent, level finish.
Can the EZ Groomer be pulled by both a tractor and an ATV?
Yes. EZ Groomer makes Arena Drag Groomers for any standard 3-point tractor in sizes from 4 foot to 12 foot, plus ATV models in 4, 5 and 6 foot sizes. The ATV models attach to a 2" ball, so they pull behind an ATV or UTV just like a trailer.
Will an EZ Groomer work on synthetic or sand footing, not just natural dirt?
Yes. Standard tractor and ATV models perform well across natural dirt, sand, and sand-with-synthetic combinations. For synthetic footings, an EZ Groomer can be equipped with "coil tines" at the time of purchase, or retrofitted later if your footing needs change, for consistent, effective results.
Do I need to be strong or mechanically inclined to operate one?
No. Many EZ Groomer customers are professional horsewomen, and the groomers are built to be easy for smaller-framed men and women to use. They attach easily to a tractor or to a 2" ball on an ATV, adjust without special tools, and help with setup is always a phone call away.
How is the EZ Groomer built, and how much maintenance does it need?
Every EZ Groomer is made in the U.S.A. with a 100% welded, heavy-gauge steel frame and minimal moving parts, so it's simple to use and built to last a lifetime. Maintenance is minimal, and factory-direct replacement wear parts are easy to swap when needed.
Can an EZ Groomer fix an arena that has turned scrubby or overgrown?
Yes. A few months of rain, mud, or neglect can leave a riding arena looking more like an overgrown pasture. EZ Groomer is designed to prepare and restore both the base and the top surface, bringing a neglected arena back to a level, safe surface for you and your horses.
Why is EZ Groomer priced lower than competitors?
EZ Groomer is a veteran, family-owned company that sells factory-direct with no middle man, and it doesn't pay for trainer endorsements. Cutting those costs lets them keep prices well below competitors without cutting corners on value, durability, or results, with reasonable shipping rates across the country and around the world.

What is the EZ Groomer?
The EZ Groomer is a U.S.-made arena drag groomer designed to maintain and recondition horse arena footing. It is marketed as the "One Pass, ONCE and DONE" arena groomer because it scarifies, mixes, and levels footing in a single trip around the ring. It is built by EZ GROOMER, a veteran, family-owned company in Molalla, Oregon.
Who owns EZ Groomer?
EZ Groomer is owned and developed by Mike Gibbons. He describes the company as "a veteran family owned company that offers high quality, U.S. manufactured Arena Drag Groomers." The business is registered as EZ Groomer LLC in Molalla, Oregon.
How does the EZ Groomer work?
It works in three stages. Vibrating "S" tines first loosen and mix the footing to a set depth, then a leveling bar follows behind to fill holes and knock down high spots, and finally a rear roller conditions the surface while gauging the tine depth for a consistent, level finish. The goal is to mix evenly, level with no high or low spots, and leave a clean, beautiful surface in one pass.
What footing types does the EZ Groomer work on?
Standard EZ Groomers are designed for natural dirt, sand, and sand-with-synthetic blends, which covers most riding arenas and round pens. For all-synthetic footing, EZ Groomer offers coil tines that can be added at the time of purchase or retrofitted to a unit you already own. The company states its groomers are "designed for all footing types and riding styles."
What tractor models and prices does EZ Groomer offer?
Tractor models are standard 3-point mounted and run from the EZ-4 at $1899.00 up to the EZ-12 at $3449.00. In between are the EZ-5 ($2049.00), EZ-6 ($2149.00), EZ-7 ($2399.00), EZ-8 ($2499.00), EZ-9 ($2799.00), EZ-10 ($2899.00), and EZ-11 ($3,599.00). Each size also has a Heavy-Duty (HD) version at a higher price.
What is the difference between standard and HD models?
Standard EZ Groomer models have two rows of S-tines (diggers), while the HD models add a third row of S-tines. The extra row makes the HD a better choice for hard or compacted ground. Examples include the EZ-8HD at $3099.00 and the EZ-12HD at $4049.00.
Does EZ Groomer make models for ATVs and side-by-sides?
Yes. EZ Groomer offers pull-behind ATV/UTV models that use the standard 3-point frame with extra parts added so they can be towed by a 2" ball. The ATV-4 ($2,199.00) is for smaller pull vehicles, the ATV-5 ($2,349.00) suits average to bigger ATVs, and the ATV-6 ($2,499.00) is sized for side-by-sides.
Where is the EZ Groomer made?
Every EZ Groomer is designed and manufactured in the USA. The company is based at 34052 S. Dickey Prairie Rd. in Molalla, Oregon 97038, and ships units directly from the factory. EZ Groomer emphasizes that it is "Proudly American" and veteran, family-owned.
Does the EZ Groomer come assembled?
Yes. Every EZ Groomer ships fully assembled on a pallet and arrives ready to work, with no assembly required. The company partners with trusted freight carriers to deliver competitive rates directly to your farm.
How much does shipping cost?
Shipping is quoted per order based on your location. EZ Groomer says it partners with trusted freight carriers "to deliver the best rates directly to your farm," and you can request a freight quote when you contact the company. Call 503-956-8062 or email [email protected] for a delivered price.
How do I contact EZ Groomer to order?
You can reach owner Mike Gibbons by phone at 503-956-8062, with hours of Mon–Sun, 8:00 AM–8:00 PM. You can also email [email protected] or browse current models and pricing at https://www.ezgroomer.com/. The company sells factory-direct, so you order straight from the manufacturer.
Why is the EZ Groomer cheaper than competitors?
EZ Groomer sells factory-direct, with no middleman markups and no paid endorsements built into the price. As Mike Gibbons puts it, "We price our EZ Groomers well below our competitors, without cutting corners on the value, durability or amazing results." The site has also promoted discounts such as "$200 Off" on groomers.
What size EZ Groomer do I need for my arena?
Tractor models range from 4 feet up to 12 feet, so you can match the working width to your tractor and arena size. For ATVs, the ATV-4 fits smaller pull vehicles, the ATV-5 fits average to larger ATVs, and the ATV-6 is built for side-by-sides. If you groom hard or heavily compacted footing, the HD models with three rows of S-tines are recommended.
Can the EZ Groomer be used on a synthetic or fiber footing arena?
Yes. While the standard tine setup is built for dirt, sand, and sand-synthetic blends, EZ Groomer offers coil tines specifically for all-synthetic footing. The coil tines can be ordered with a new unit or retrofitted onto a groomer you already own, so the same machine adapts as your footing changes.
What kinds of arenas and disciplines is the EZ Groomer good for?
It is built for riding arenas, round pens, and practice areas across disciplines — dressage, barrel racing, roping, reining, and general schooling. Because it breaks up compacted material, redistributes it, and levels the surface, it helps maintain consistent, safe footing for both horse and rider. The company markets it as suitable for "all footing types and riding styles."
How does the rear roller help?
The rear roller conditions and firms the surface after the tines and leveling bar have done their work, leaving a finished, smooth top layer. It also gauges and controls the depth of the S-tines, which keeps the cut even across the whole arena. This is part of how the EZ Groomer achieves a level, no-high-or-low-spots result in a single pass.
Is EZ Groomer a veteran-owned business?
Yes. EZ Groomer describes itself as "a veteran, family-owned company" that is "Proudly Veteran-Owned & Family-Run." Owner Mike Gibbons developed the groomer line, and the family operation answers the phone seven days a week from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM.
