While attending national & regional equine events, a repetitive theme prevailed; participants, trainers, instructors, and students shared their concerns with John & Teri about the effects of dust for themselves & their horses, and with good reason. No one is immune! Fugitive dust is the leading cause of respiratory illnesses, with a comprehensive list of acronyms of zoonotic diseases & viruses that arena dust can carry into the lungs of horses & participant
Absolutely. ARENACLEAR™ is non-toxic, non-corrosive, and environmentally safe. It has been approved in California since 1971 as an agricultural mineral and has a long history of safe use around animals, people, and plants. Horses can be ridden on the treated surface immediately after application, and there’s no danger to dogs, cats, or even curious barn kids who might wander across the arena.
What Is The Difference BetweenARENACLEAR™ and “WaterFREE"
The regular ARENACLEA R™ is ideal for those who have access to water and can use it during the application and for occasional maintenance. “WaterFREE" ArenaClear™, on the other hand, is specially formulated for those who don’t have easy access to water or who simply want to eliminate watering altogether. While the initial cost for WaterFREE is higher, it offers the convenience of a truly “no-water” solution.
Note: The initial WaterFREE application in outdoor arenas lasts 12–15 months, with reapplication typically only needed once a year. Indoor applications of WaterFREE usually require just one treatment per year. Each additional yearly application will be 1/3 of the initial amount of product needed.
How isARENACLEAR™Application is simple. The product is diluted with water and applied evenly to the arena surface. In outdoor arenas, this is best done when the surface is already slightly moist to help the product penetrate evenly. Once applied, ARENACLEAR™ starts working right away to improve moisture retention and footing stability.
Can ARENACLEAR™Help With Stall ODOR Too?
Yes. Many horse owners have found that applying ARENACLEAR™ to the soil beneath stall bedding helps reduce or even eliminate ammonia odors from urine. By allowing urine to penetrate deeper into the ground instead of pooling on the surface, ARENACLEAR™ helps minimize the strong smells that can build up in enclosed areas. While the manufacturer notes that they can’t guarantee this result, they have received many positive reports from customers who’ve experienced a noticeable improvement.
Great question!! ArenaClear™ is extremely versatile. It’s effective anywhere dust is a problem—driveways, paddocks, round pens, barn aisleways with dirt floors, and even indoor training areas. The same dust-suppressing, moisture-retaining qualities that make it perfect for arenas work just as well in any high-traffic area where footing conditions matter.
One gallon of ARENACLEA R™ treats up to 10,000 square feet to a depth of 3–4 inches. This makes it a cost-effective solution for arenas of all sizes. For larger properties or facilities, multiple gallons can be purchased and applied as part of a planned footing maintenance program.
Customers across the country report immediate and lasting improvements in their arena footing. Dust levels drop dramatically, footing becomes more stable, and horses move more comfortably. Trainers often note that horses work better without the distraction of dust in their eyes and lungs, and riders appreciate the cleaner, healthier riding environment.
Is ARENACLEAR™
Our clients say it is— and if their horses could talk, we know that they would agree too!

Add in its safety, ease of use, and versatility, and it becomes clear why so many horse owners consider it an essential part of their arena maintenance plan.
The team at ARENACLEA R™ can help you determine the right product—regular or WaterFREE—for your needs, based on your arena type, climate, and water availability. They’ll guide you through the application process to make sure you get the best results.
Per TRC & Associates, Inc.: ARENACLEAR™ is the company's arena dust-and-mud control product. Distinct from sibling PastureDRY™ (outdoor mud / drainage) and StallDRY™ (equine stall moisture/ammonia):
Same TRC posture (founded 1997, equine + agricultural industries); each product targets a distinct location application.
Per TRC: dust is more than a nuisance — it's a health hazard for both horse and rider. Per the company: ARENACLEAR is designed to tackle the problem at its root. "By penetrating deep into the footing and changing the way your soil holds water, it allows moisture to be absorbed and retained up to 300% more effectively." Result: footing stays damp and stable longer, drastically cutting down on dust and improving safety/comfort.
Per TRC: watering an arena can be one of the most time-consuming chores around the barn. Per the company: by helping the soil retain moisture up to 300% more effectively, ARENACLEAR reduces watering frequency, lowers water bill, and cuts labor — paying for itself over time.
Per TRC: "Fugitive dust is the leading cause of respiratory illnesses, with a comprehensive list of acronyms of zoonotic diseases and viruses that arena dust can carry into the lungs of horses and participants."
Per the company: clean oxygen is the lifeblood of cells in animal and human bodies — without sufficient clean oxygen, both equine and rider performance suffer.
Per TRC & Associates, Inc.: working in the equine and agricultural industries since 1997. Per the company: introduced the well-known StallDRY™ product into the USA + built a nationwide distribution network for the moisture and ammonia control product. Founders John & Teri heard repeated dust concerns at national/regional equine events, leading to ARENACLEAR.
