No one wants a canceled show and most will be willing to pay for an alternative place to go. Be sure to let them know about you! Is There Any Assembly Required or Is It Shipped Ready To Go? Your Equestrian Arena Raincover is shipped rolled up on a pallet, and will require off-loading the truck. A standard Dressage size arena cover of approximately 72ft x 200ft will weigh about 500 lbs., and a larger 100`x 200`cover will weigh about 750 lbs., so having equipment to off load the truck will be helpful. How Do I Install It? The pallets should be moved into the arena, where it can be unpackaged, unrolled, and stretched out over the arena. You many need several extra people for the initial installation— your excited clients or trainers, will no doubt want to help. Remember, you do this once and have a problem solved for Years to come! What About The "TarpMate Air Roller"? The TarpMate Air Roller may arrive on a separate shipment. You will need a portable leaf blower (not included) to inflate the roller tube. Once the tarp is fully stretched out on the arena, you can unpack the TarpMate Air Roller, and inflate it with a portable leaf blower. Position the roller at one end of the tarp, about 10ft from the end of the arena, so you can fold the end of the tarp over the roller, tucking in the end so that you can start rolling up the cover. Roll the cover up to the opposite end of the arena where you will want to store it during the rainy season. Secure the roller so it does not unroll on its own. How Do I Use It To Prepare For Rain? It is so easy! When you anticipate rain, you can unroll the tarp back over the arena footing, and secure with sandbags or to the perimeter arena fence posts to keep it snug and protected. Then, let the rain come— your arena is protected and going to be good and dry when the deluge is over! Is The TarpMate Air Roller Easy To Use? The TarpMate Air roller for your Covermaster Equestrian Arena Raincover System is very easy to use. After the initial set up, we recommend a minimum of two people to unroll the cover over the arena. If more people are available it will speed up the process for rolling it back up, especially if there is rain remaining on the cover after it rains. Is Covermaster Easy To Use and Store? The equestrian riding arena cover system can be stored at the end of the riding arena during the rainy season, so that it can be deployed at a moment’s notice. However, when you are anticipating weeks of great weather, the rolled up cover and TarpMate Air together, can be deflated into a long flat sausage. At this point it can be folded or rolled up, strapped and carefully be removed from the arena to a clean storage area that is not exposed to the sun. When rain is once again in the forecast, bring the system back into the arena, unfold or roll out the flat sausage, then inflate the TarpMate Air roller with the raincover on it. Once inflated, you can then position the system at the end of the arena and roll it back out as needed. What Is The Cost for a Typical Dressage Arena? Remember, this is so much more Affordable than an Indoor arena!!! Pricing is based on square footage of material required for an arena. The based width of most raincover material is 12`wide, and we fabricate the covers by heat sealing sections together. Standard width sizes on our Raincovers are fabricated in 12' increments. Finished sizes are slightly narrower due to seaming. Additional Charges will apply for non-standard widths. A typical Dressage Court is 20m x 60m, (65.6`x 197`) Therefore the closest standard size without customization would be 72`x 197`. Estimated price would be between $3000 – $5500 depending on level of Material— so much less costly than an indoor arena! A larger standard size 108`x 200`cover will be in the range of $4000 - $9000. We offer TarpMate Air Rollers in two standard sizes of 75` for about $1900, and a 95`Roller for $2200, and custom length rollers are available. Please contact Covermaster for a no-charge quotation based on your requirements. Is There A Choice Selection For The Equestrian Raincover System?

What is a Covermaster Equestrian Riding Arena Cover?

A Covermaster, Inc. Equestrian Riding Arena Cover is a large protective tarp that rolls out over an outdoor riding arena, working much like the field tarps that protect Major League baseball infields from rain. Covermaster, Inc. offers the system in three core grades — Raincover MAX™, Raincover Ultra™, and Raincover Premier™ — so a facility can match the cover weight and durability to its climate and budget. The company frames the product plainly: "A Covermaster Horse Arena Cover can be an economical alternative to building a covered riding arena at a fraction of the cost and time."

Who makes it, and why does that matter?
The covers are designed and manufactured by Covermaster®, founded in 1969 and a long-standing supplier to groundskeepers at sports fields and stadiums around the world. That stadium-turf pedigree is the reason the arena covers behave like professional baseball tarps — the same engineering that keeps a pro infield playable after a downpour is applied to keeping your footing rideable. Covermaster, Inc. supports the line worldwide from its head office, reachable Toll Free, internationally at +, and in Europe at +44 (0) 2038 685082.

How the Raincover Ultra™ keeps labor low

Raincover Ultra™ is billed by Covermaster as "the industry's strongest core raincover that's over 200 pounds lighter than other available covers," so a smaller crew can deploy and stow it before and after a storm. To move the tarp without straining staff, Covermaster pairs it with the Tarpmate AIR™ Roller (SKU: Tpmt-AR) — an inflatable roller that fills in minutes with an ordinary backpack blower and stays light enough to maneuver, dramatically cutting the time and people needed to roll an arena cover on or off.

Built for real competition arenas

This is not a hobby tarp — it is sized and built for serious venues. For the 2025 Big 12 Equestrian Championship hosted by Texas Christian University at Bear Creek Farms in Burleson, Texas, Covermaster® supplied two 125-by-300-foot sections of Raincover Ultra™ with handles spaced every 10 feet, plus two 95-foot Tarpmate AIR™ Rollers, and delivered the complete solution in just over two weeks. The covers suit dressage rings, show jumping and hunter arenas, rodeo rings, lunging circles, and Eurosizer rings alike.

Stop losing ride days to weather

Even a short rainstorm can be very disruptive to an outdoor riding arena, soaking footing and forcing cancellations of lessons, clinics, and shows. A Covermaster arena cover lets a facility pull the tarp over the surface when weather threatens and roll it back to ride almost immediately once the storm passes — protecting the footing and sublayers and keeping the calendar full. The result is "the economical solution for reducing down time caused by bad weather" without the cost or construction timeline of a fully covered indoor.

How to get a cover sized for your arena

Because every arena's dimensions and footing differ, Covermaster, Inc. quotes each cover to order rather than selling a fixed off-the-shelf size — the Tarpmate AIR™ Roller and the raincover grades are all priced via "Request Quotation." To get a no-charge quotation matched to your arena's size and requirements, contact Covermaster, Inc. at or, and the team will recommend the right Raincover MAX™, Raincover Ultra™, or Raincover Premier™ specification for your facility.
