Who Are The People At Arenaclear™ ?

TRC & Associates, Inc., makers of Arenaclear™ has worked in the Equine & Agricultural industries since 1997. They introduced the well-known "StallDry” product, into the USA & built a nationwide distribution network for the moisture & ammonia control product, improving the health of animals & humans alike.

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

You and Your Horse Need Clean, Dust-Free Air To Breathe!

Arenaclear™ understands clean oxygen is the lifeblood of cells in animals & humans bodies; without sufficient clear & clean oxygen, both equine & riders’ performances & their results suffer.Horses are often tasked with providing their best performance or skill & need an abundance of clean oxygen to achieve them; humans do, too. It is up to horse owners, trainers and breeders to ensure that their horses get good hay, clean water and clean AIR to breathe!

Why Use Arenaclear™ For Your Arenas?

If you’ve ever coughed your way through a riding lesson or watched dust clouds billow behind your horse’s hooves, you know that dust is more than a nuisance—it’s a health hazard for both horse and rider. 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. That means your footing stays damp and stable longer, drastically cutting down on dust and improving the overall safety and comfort of your riding surface.

How Does Arenaclear™ Save You Money?

Watering an arena can be one of the most time-consuming chores around the barn—not to mention the strain on your water bill. With Arenaclear™, you can reduce watering needs by 50–70%. Less watering means less labor, less wear and tear on equipment, and more time in the saddle instead of behind a hose. Many owners find that a single application lasts for a year or more, making it one of the most cost-effective improvements you can make to your arena.

Is Arena Clear™ Safe For Horses and The Environment?

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 Between

Arenaclear™ and “WaterFREE"

Arenaclear™?

The regular Arenaclear™ 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 is Arenaclear™

Applied?

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.

Where Else Can Arenaclear™ Be Used?

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.

How Much Coverage Can I Expect Per Gallon?

One gallon of Arenaclear™ 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.

What Kind Of Results Do Most People Have?

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™

Worth It?

Our clients say it is— and if their horses could talk, we know that they would agree too! When you factor in the savings in water, labor, and equipment wear, along with the improved health and performance of your horses, Arenaclear™ quickly pays for itself. 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.

How Do I Get Started?

The team at Arenaclear™ 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.

What exactly is Arenaclear™?

Arenaclear™ is a concentrated liquid, hydrophilic natural soil conditioner that permeates arena footing and paddock soil to dramatically increase how much water the ground absorbs and holds. Rather than spraying the surface and watching it evaporate by midday, the product works deep in the profile so footing stays moist longer. The result is a riding surface that controls airborne dust at its source while delivering consistent cushion and rebound for the horse. It is sold as a long-lasting dust-control solution, with a single application providing 12+ months of performance.

Who makes Arenaclear™ and PastureDRY™?

The products are made by TRC Associates, Inc. of Medina, Ohio, a family-run company that has worked in the Equine and Agricultural industries since 1997. TRC Associates is the team that originally introduced the well-known StallDRY product into the USA and built a nationwide distribution network for moisture and ammonia control, improving the health of animals and humans alike. That same expertise in managing moisture in barns and paddocks led directly to the Arenaclear™ line of arena, pasture, and footing conditioners.

What is Arenaclear™ made from and is it safe?

Arenaclear™ is built around an agricultural mineral that is non-toxic and described as environmentally and ecologically safe to use. The company states the product is suitable for facilities used by horses, dogs, and people, so there is no need to keep animals off the surface after treatment the way some chemical dust suppressants require. The mineral chemistry is what allows treated soil to retain up to 300% more moisture, combining and bonding fine dust particles into larger, water-laden particles that simply cannot become airborne.

How does one gallon cover an arena and cut watering?

One gallon of Arenaclear™ treats up to 10,000 square feet to a 3-to-4-inch depth, the working zone where hooves move the footing. Because the conditioner holds water deeper and longer, owners can reduce watering by as much as 50% once the application is completed, with the company citing real-world savings of 50–70% in water, time, and labor. Less dragging the hose, less time chasing dust before every ride, and a more stable surface in both wet and dry seasons.

Who is Arenaclear™ built for?

The line serves a wide range of riders and facilities: outdoor and indoor horse arenas, paddocks, dirt roads, athletic fields, and even ATV trails. Boarding barns, lesson programs, and private owners use it to protect equine and human respiratory health. As Luke Brock of Morehead State University put it, "After applying Arenaclear™ we never had a single problem with air quality... I highly recommend Arenaclear™," while owner Dianne of Southern Illinois reported that since switching, "the horses are having fewer abscesses... the texture has improved."

What is ARENACLEAR and what does it do?

ARENACLEAR is a concentrated liquid, hydrophilic natural soil conditioner that permeates arena and paddock footing to increase how much water the soil absorbs and retains. By holding moisture deeper and longer, it controls airborne dust at its source and improves footing stability. It is marketed as nothing being MORE EFFECTIVE at controlling Dust or Mud than ARENACLEAR.

Who makes ARENACLEAR?

ARENACLEAR is made by TRC Associates, Inc., based at 1088 Brandywine Drive, Medina, OH 44256. The company has worked in the Equine and Agricultural industries since 1997 and originally introduced the well-known StallDRY product into the USA, building a nationwide distribution network for moisture and ammonia control.

How is ARENACLEAR connected to StallDRY?

TRC Associates is the company that brought StallDRY to the U.S. market and built its nationwide distribution for moisture and ammonia control in stalls and barns. That same expertise in managing moisture for the health of animals and humans led the company to develop the ARENACLEAR line of arena and pasture conditioners. Both share TRC's focus on safe, mineral-based moisture management.

How much area does one gallon of ARENACLEAR cover?

One gallon of ARENACLEAR treats up to 10,000 square feet to a depth of 3 to 4 inches, which is the working zone where hooves move the footing. Coverage can vary with footing type and how deeply you want the product to penetrate. A gallon is priced at $299.99 with free shipping on gallon-size orders.

How much water can ARENACLEAR save?

TRC Associates states that ARENACLEAR can reduce watering by as much as 50% once the application is completed, and cites real-world water reductions of 50 to 70%. Because the conditioner lets soil hold up to 300% more moisture and retain it deeper and longer, you spend far less time and labor dragging hoses and re-wetting the surface before each ride.

Is ARENACLEAR safe for horses, dogs, and people?

Yes. ARENACLEAR is built around a non-toxic agricultural mineral the company describes as environmentally and ecologically safe to use. It is stated to be suitable for facilities used by horses, dogs, and people, so animals do not need to be kept off the surface the way some chemical dust suppressants require.

How long does one application of ARENACLEAR last?

According to the product information, a single application of ARENACLEAR provides long-lasting dust control of 12 or more months. Longevity depends on use intensity, weather, and footing maintenance such as regular dragging, but the deep-penetrating mineral chemistry is designed to keep working through the seasons rather than washing or evaporating away quickly.

How does ARENACLEAR control dust at the source?

Instead of just wetting the top layer, ARENACLEAR permeates the footing and bonds fine dust particles together into larger, water-laden particles that are too heavy to become airborne. By improving the soil's water-holding capacity deep in the profile, it keeps the surface conditioned and the air clear. This addresses dust at its source rather than masking it with constant watering.

What surfaces and uses is ARENACLEAR good for?

ARENACLEAR is used on outdoor and indoor horse arenas, paddocks, dirt roads, athletic fields, and ATV trails. It is popular with boarding barns, lesson programs, universities, and private owners who want consistent footing and clean air. Morehead State University's Luke Brock reported never having a single air-quality problem after applying it.

What does ARENACLEAR cost and how is it shipped?

ARENACLEAR is priced at $299.99 per gallon with free shipping on gallon-size orders, and it ships via FedEx. The company also offers related products including PastureDRY (from $99.99), The PERMEATOR ($349.99), and HONEY'S Soil Conditioner (from $59.99) through its online shop.

What is PastureDRY and how is it different from ARENACLEAR?

PastureDRY is TRC Associates' mud-eliminator product, an agricultural mineral designed to reduce excess moisture and transform soggy, slippery ground into stable, dry footing. While ARENACLEAR is focused on dust control and moisture retention in riding arenas, PastureDRY targets the opposite problem of too much mud in dry lots and pastures. One customer in Richland, TX reported it 'worked a miracle on our dry lot and muddy pasture.'

Does ARENACLEAR improve footing quality for the horse?

Yes. By holding moisture in the footing, ARENACLEAR creates water-laden particles that provide cushion and rebound underfoot, giving a more consistent, supportive surface. Owners report improved texture and better footing for both horses and riders. One long-term user noted that since switching to ARENACLEAR their horses have had fewer abscesses and the surface texture improved.

How do I contact ARENACLEAR / TRC Associates to order?

You can reach the company at its office line (330) 388-3197, toll free at (877) 880-3878 (also listed as 877-880-DUST), or in Canada at (519) 847-5748. The mailing address is 1088 Brandywine Drive, Medina, OH 44256, and orders can be placed through the online shop at shop.arenaclear.com.

Is ARENACLEAR a chemical or a natural product?

ARENACLEAR is described as a natural, mineral-based soil conditioner rather than a synthetic chemical suppressant. It is a hydrophilic mineral that works by improving the soil's natural ability to absorb and hold water. The company emphasizes that it is non-toxic and environmentally and ecologically safe.

Will ARENACLEAR work in both wet and dry climates?

ARENACLEAR's job is moisture management, so it helps in dry climates by retaining the water you apply far longer, and the broader product family addresses wet conditions through PastureDRY for mud. For an arena specifically, the conditioner keeps footing from drying out and dusting up between waterings, which is especially valuable in arid regions and during dry summer months.

Are there other products in the ARENACLEAR family?

Yes. Beyond ARENACLEAR dust control, TRC Associates offers PastureDRY (from $99.99) for muddy paddocks and pastures, The PERMEATOR ($349.99), and HONEY'S Soil Conditioner (from $59.99). Together the line covers the full range of equine footing challenges, from dust in the arena to mud in the dry lot.

What do customers say about ARENACLEAR?

Reviews are strongly positive. Paula Cinti said 'this product works great for us in our riding arena... it improves the footing for our horses and humans,' and Luke Brock of Morehead State University said he highly recommends it after seeing no air-quality problems. One reviewer, Jeanelle, cautioned that you must apply it correctly for best results but called it 'worth every penny' and said she would buy again.
