Reliable Equestrian

Flooring Systems Product Overview 2009/2010

In dealing with horses responsibly, their health is your main concern. The old English saying: ‘No hoof, no horse’ sums it up – legs and hooves are the most precious parts of a horse and need to be protected.

Whether a horse is involved in sports or recreation, the flooring that it moves on every day is most important. Longterm stress due to improper flooring can lead to serious harm and injuries.

While a surface that is too firm stresses the joints, a floor that is too soft puts a strain on the tendons. Wet and heavy surfaces can cause thrush, and dusty ones are bad for the lungs of the horse and rider.

Drawing from years of experience in this

area, ProEquus® provides customized solutions for perfect equestrian flooring systems.

ProEquus® is your partner for the construction and renovation of riding arenas as well as stables, open stables and paddocks, providing professional consulting and custom concepts.

Riding Arena Design

ProEquus® offers the right flooring system

for all requirements.

Based on the experience of international

equestrian sports, permanent riding arenas are

always built using a 3-layer system.

The use of a separating layer allows for major

material and cost savings regarding the footing

and sub-base layers.

Also, a thinner, high grade footing layer

significantly reduces maintenance.

Sub-bASE Layer

Special fibresto improve shearing resistance and grip

Fleece shreds for optimum elasticity and moisture absorption

High quality silica sands for a low-dust ground with good grip

ProEquus® offers the right footing layer for every

discipline. Various types of high grade silica sand,

geotextile shreds and fibres as well as eco-friendly

additives to prevent freezing and accumulation of

dust are blended to create stable yet elastic

footing layers with maximum grip.

Requiring little maintenance, they continue to

provide good drainage and produce minimal dust.

Good performance in all weather conditions!

Eco-friendly Additives

to Stabilize the Footing Layer

According to an independent expert’s report, the

ProEquus® selection of additives is extremely eco-

friendly and completely safe for the health of the

horse and rider.

Grid and Mat Systems

A range of synthetic riding mats is used as a

separating layer between the footing and

sub-base layers. With their sophisticated

structures, perfect elasticity and

permeability, these mats

provide durability, stability

and improved grip.

EcoRaster® Riding Mat

Suitable for all disciplines of equestrian sports:

Jumping, Dressage and Western. The honeycomb

grids are connected with a bonding-plug system,

filled with gravel and covered with the footing

layer.

OT 40 Water Retaining Mat

This mat is suitable for Jumping and Dressage.

Due to its structure it can retain and slowly

release moisture – an important advantage during

summer and in warm climates.

WE 40 Western and Event Mat

Perfect for Western Reining and, due to its

tongue-and-groove assembly, also suitable for all

kinds of events.

Indoor and Outdoor Irrigation Systems

Irrigation systems made in Germany ensure an

even humidification in order to maintain optimal

firmness of the ground. Due to decreased

trituration of the sand, they extend the life span

of the footing layer considerably.

• Raintrain Plus (Bus system)

• Nozzle Jet Irrigation

• Outdoor Arena Irrigation

Track and Riding Arena Conditioners

ProEquus® offers track and riding arena

conditioners of various types that loosen,

homogenize and level footing layers, removing

humps and holes in the process.

The range includes models for all-sand arenas

and sand/fleece shred arenas as well as models

with watering systems.

Vinyl Fences

ProEquus®-fences are made from high-quality

materials. They are durable, stable and look

perfect for years.

Posts and rails are made from NEW PVC which

is extremely resistant to deformation, fractures

and splintering due to its wall thickness. The vinyl

parts are weatherproof, tapes and straps are UV-

resistant.

The manufacturers grant a 20-year rot-resistance

guarantee. Yearly maintenance like exchanging

posts and painting is unnecessary. Plug joint,

screw joint and clip joint systems make

assembly a breeze.

All models are available in white

Optional: paddock and pasture

fencing fencing in natural gray

Mobile Fences: „RoFlex System“

Simple fencing systems for tournaments and

events. Posts are made from high-quality

aluminium profiles with cone ends made from

refined metal for easy setup.

The integrated paddock tapes are extendable

and UV- resistant. Power is supplied by

integrated high-performance battery packs that

can also be recharged via an automobile

charger outlet.

EcoRaster®

E50 or EH40

Open stable and paddock flooring should

be dry, firm and provide good grip.

stabilizing bonding-plug system require a

minimum of sub-base, and assembly

is very simple.

Top quality ground condition can be retained

long-term with minimal maintenance.

A clean solution!

Rubber and PVC for Stables

Rubber and PVC floors for use in stables are

superior to wood or concrete flooring. They are

urine resistant, hygienic, wear- free and feel

very similar to natural ground. Unlike wood or

concrete, these floors do not trap ammonia, thus

reducing unpleasant odors. The horse enjoys

a no-slip, heat-insulating, shock and sound-

absorbent floor. Joints and hooves are protected;

the risk of injury is minimized.

Stable Mats

Reduced amounts of litter mean

less work, less dust, and an

improved stable climate.

Seamless Rubber Flooring

This flooring consists of natural

rubber, EPDM rubber granulate and

hardener. It is seamless, impervious, elastic,

hygienic, shock and sound-absorbent, making it

ideal for stable aisles, stalls and trailers.

Impact Protection Mats

Perfectly suited for minimizing stress and risk of

injury in stalls and trailers.

Drainage Mats and H-Block Paving

Optimal for stable aisles and, due to their

permeability also perfect for wash areas.

Summerwind„LIGHT“

Summerwind„DELuXE“

Apart from their positive effect on

the immune system, these

solariums are mainly used to

quickly warm up and relax

muscles and tendons

before a riding session.

They can also be used to

dry the horse afterwards.

In combination with colour therapy, these systems

can also accelerate the healing of wounds.
