EUnetHorse – Technical Sheet – CC08 – Wood Fibre Arena Surfaces to Reduce Irrigation Needs
Using wood sticks footing alternative for equestrian arenas to limit irrigation.
or
Detail description
The quality of today’s equestrian surfaces, which are mostly made up of sand, is determined by water. Using wood shavings as a working surface can significantly reduce or even eliminate the need for watering. This material can be used to create comfortable surfaces that require little maintenance, and it is a sustainable, environmentally friendly alternative.
It reduces dependence on drinking water and improves overall water management on farms, particularly during periods of drought.
