Maintaining a safe and high-quality horse riding surface requires the right arena grooming equipment. From arena drags to harrows, discover how these tools keep your arena in top condition for optimal performance and safety.
Arena Drags (Groomers)
Arena drags, commonly referred to as groomers, play a pivotal role in maintaining horse riding surfaces. These tools are designed to be attached to tractors or ATVs, making them highly effective in leveling and aerating the footing of various arena surfaces.
The tines or spikes on arena drags break up compacted materials and ensure an even distribution of the surface. Different designs cater to specific surface types; for instance, straight tines are ideal for sand arenas, while S tines work best for sandy loams or clay blends.
Our Greystone Arena Drag is an excellent example of this equipment, providing precision and ease in maintaining your arena, ensuring a smooth, safe surface for riding.
Leveling Blades
Leveling blades complement the work of arena drags by providing an even finish to the surface. These blades are crucial for filling in ruts and redistributing high spots that develop in high-traffic areas over time.
By smoothing out these imperfections, leveling blades contribute to a consistent riding experience, reducing the risk of injury for both horses and riders. Whether your arena surface is sand, clay, or a synthetic blend, leveling blades ensure that the footing remains uniform and reliable.
Rotary Tillers
Rotary tillers are essential when deeper aeration and mixing of the arena footing are required. Over time, arena surfaces can become compacted, leading to poor drainage and stability issues. Rotary tillers address these problems by loosening the material, promoting better water drainage, and ensuring the surface remains safe and stable.
These machines are particularly beneficial for arenas with geotextile or fiber additives, which require careful handling to maintain their integrity. The Greystone Arena Drag Pro offers a powerful solution, combining tilling and grooming to keep your arena in top condition.
Watering Systems
Maintaining proper moisture levels in your arena is crucial for dust control and surface stability. Watering systems, ranging from basic hoses to sophisticated sprinkler setups, help achieve this balance. By keeping the surface adequately moist, these systems prevent dust from becoming a nuisance and ensure that the footing remains compact and safe.
Some arena drags even integrate watering capabilities, allowing you to water and groom the surface simultaneously. This integration saves time and ensures that your arena stays in optimal condition, no matter the weather.
Harrows
Harrows are versatile tools that serve dual purposes in arena maintenance. They are used for both leveling and aerating the surface, making them a valuable addition to any grooming routine. Available in various sizes and configurations, harrows can be used with different vehicles, from ATVs to tractors, depending on the size of your arena.
Smaller harrows are perfect for tight spaces, while larger models tackle broader surfaces with ease. Harrows are particularly effective at breaking up compacted areas, ensuring that the footing remains loose and even across the entire arena.
