Finally some proper research on the best type of surface for arenas.... The Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI) has published the world’s most extensive study into the effect of arena surfaces on the orthopedic health of sport horses in the seven disciplines and in racing. The white paper brings together the latest data and published scientific papers on arena and turf surfaces, and the effects these have on horses in training and in competition. It includes advice on the key properties of footing and the effects of footing on horses’ physiological and biomechanical responses along with information on the optimal composition, construction, and maintenance of arenas for maximizing equine performance while minimizing injury risk.
