What separates Attwood arena footing from ordinary sand

The heart of every Attwood Equestrian surface is polymer-coated sand blended with felt and engineered fibers. A heat-applied polymer coating bonds to each sand granule, which is what eliminates the granule-on-granule friction that creates dust in conventional arenas. Because the coating is hydrophobic, water drains straight through instead of being absorbed, so the footing stays consistent in rain, drought, and temperature swings. The result is the shock absorption and rebound a working horse needs without the daily dragging and watering an ordinary sand ring demands.

The flagship surface: Pinnacle

Pinnacle™ is Attwood's premium, professionally installed footing for indoor, covered, and outdoor arenas across dressage, jumping, therapeutic riding, and racing. It is dust-free and requires no watering, and it is installed by Attwood crews who handle base evaluation, application, and harrow training so the surface performs as designed from day one. International dressage competitor Silva Martin, who chose Pinnacle with Boyd Martin for their facility, says "The horses feel great on the Attwood footing... there's no dust which is good for me." It is the surface Attwood markets as its industry-leading formula.

A DIY option sold by the ton: AlphaTex

AlphaTex™ is Attwood's pre-mixed, dust-free footing built for riders who want to install themselves. It is formulated with polymer-coated sand mixed with felt and fiber and sold by the ton, shipping by dump truck or in roughly one-ton super sacks, with custom formulations available by discipline. Like the rest of the line it needs no water, reduces concussion while supporting rebound, and is low-maintenance once down. Contact Attwood for a delivery quote based on your location and arena size.

Footing engineered for fitness and the gallop track: Ameritrack

Ameritrack™ is an installed gallop-track and race-surface footing formulated with polymer-coated sand and fibers and engineered for training gallops and racetracks. It is built to reduce the concussion usually associated with extreme fitness work and to provide support that lowers the risk of injury during conditioning. Like Pinnacle and AlphaTex it is dust-free, water-resistant, and temperature-stable, and Attwood crews install it complete with harrow training and maintenance instruction. It suits upper-level horses across disciplines, from eventers to dressage prospects building fitness.

Complete arena construction, not just the top layer
Attwood Equestrian operates as a full arena builder. The company handles site excavation and preparation, sub-base and base installation, drainage systems, kick boards and curved kick walls, arena mats, fence installation, and additive incorporation, and it offers solutions for problematic existing arenas. Founded in 1992 by Nick Attwood and Edwin Barron, the firm introduced Equation, which it describes as the very first dust-free footing brought to the marketplace, and now serves jumping, dressage, racing, eventing, and hunter facilities worldwide. Its guiding principle: "A horse's health and soundness can be greatly affected by its daily training surface."
