ArenaKleen Dust Control Report
There are an
infinite number of equestrian footing materials and combinations of
materials for riding rings. Wood products, crumb rubber, finely shredded
leather,
stone, dust, sand, etc have all been used and are currently being used.
The common
denominator is that they all break down. They
all start out well but the
pounding of hooves
quickly
pulverizes them to create dust.
Dust is not just a nuisance or unsightly it is dangerous.
The US Dept of Labor has
some staggering statistics about the ill effects of dust and respiratory
illness caused by
it. Dust related diseases are incurable. These dust-induced diseases
affect not only
the riders but any spectators, and the horses as well. A horse uses 30
times more air when working or
performing than when at rest. This makes dust control critical in equine
areas.
While there are many types of dust, all dust is the result
of material becoming so finely
pulverized or broken down that it is light enough to become airborne
and inhaled. The easiest way to solve the problem is with the
addition of
liquid to weigh down the particles and prevent them from floating. While
many
products may work for a short time most “wear out” quickly requiring
reapplication,
which at the very least may happen at an inconvenient time so it doesn’t
get done
when needed most. ArenaKleen saves the day in this respect because once
enough of
the product is in the soil it remains and does not wear out.
Once committed to using ArenaKleen you will never apply
water to your riding ring
again. The advantages of no water are many; consistent footing, no
chlorides to dry
out the horse’s hooves, damage tack, or corrode equipment, no frozen
ground during
winter months, and no soft spots or mud.
Summary
ArenaKleen is probably the best
overall arena conditioner/dust
control product available. Over the long term it becomes very cost
effective because
eventually very little “touch-up” is needed and then not very often.
Realize that rings
need time to equilibrate or settle. The first few weeks may be incredible
and then a
little bit of dust begins to break out as the fines from underneath are
churned up from the
impact of hooves. Maintenance doses of ArenaKleen will
take care of
it and gradually less and less will be required as all of the footing to
depth becomes
treated.
Because ArenaKleen never dries up, never evaporates, never
hardens, and does not
wash away with rain it is ideal in outdoor riding rings as well. Even
dusty parking
areas can benefit from treatment.
Over 80% of all “soundness” related injuries are a
result of poor arenas - Alan Donnell, D.V.M.
ArenaKleen improves the riding surface of the arena by
reducing soil compaction.
Compared to adding rubber or synthetic materials to your arena, ArenaKleen
is very
cost effective.
