SUSTAINABILITY FOR RIDING SURFACES
The quality of every riding surface depends on its maintenance and irrigation. Given the scarcity of water in many parts of the world, water conservation is a constant topic. In agriculture, drip irrigation is used. ArenaWet brings the advantages of drip irrigation to equestrian sports.
Water savings of up to 70% compared to conventional irrigation methods can be achieved with ArenaWet. ArenaWet combines irrigation with a separation layer and still allows for drainage.
Irrigation with ArenaWet ensures an evenly moist top layer and reduces dust formation. Installation in the arena, indoor riding arena, paddock or gallop track is simple. After programming the control system, irrigation is fully automatic and riding can take place at any time.
ECONOMIC EFFICIENCY AND ECOLOGICAL RESPONSIBILITY
STEP 1
SOFT ODER CLASSIC?
The system is simple and can be installed in both existing and new riding surfaces.
The mats are water-permeable and enable drainage.
CLASSIC
A separation layer made of PVC mat is very popular and prevents the mixing of layers. Combined with drip tubing, it merges irrigation and the separation layer.
SOFT
A separation layer made of PU foam in combination with drip irrigation – all for the rebound effect. Rebound refers to the elasticity of the surface, enabling it to return to its original form and return energy after absorbing the horse’s weight.

SUB-BASE
Sub-base and base layer
1. Remove topsoil
2. Create the base layer/stabilisation
Suitable materials include mineral mixture 0/32 frost protection, 0/32 recycling, 0/45 recycling
Adequate load-bearing capacity must be ensured
3. Water-permeable layer (relevant for outdoor arenas)
Suitable materials include 5/32 or similar
Plan for a slope of 0.5% to a maximum of 1.5% to drain rainfall
TOP LAYER/SAND
- Select riding sand based on intended use with or without additives like ArenaGrip
- Ensure the sand’s capillary capacity
- Top layer at least 10-12 cm in a settled state
- Regular maintenance, moisture monitoring
- Regular levelling using a laser

REFERENCES
In the first year of its creation, events in the fields of show jumping, dressage and driving were successfully held.
Water consumption was lower than we expected, based on comparable systems we visited during the consultation phase. The entire 4600 m²phase besucht haben. Die gesamte Fläche des 4600 m² arena is irrigated evenly and with the desired intensity at all times.
The adjustment of irrigation intensity – whether for tournaments or everyday use – works perfectly.
For us, the fact that the arena can still be used during the (automated) irrigation phases was very important, since the system operator is only present periodically.
Thank you for the excellent cooperation.

FAQ
What is the difference between ArenaWet and the ebb and flow system?
ArenaWet is a combination of a separation layer with integrated irrigation using drip tubing. The top layer is irrigated directly and can be finely tuned to ideal water needs.
Does the drip tubing clog over time?
No, drip tubing has been used in agriculture for many years. It has an integrated membrane that securely closes the drip hole and prevents backflow.
How much water is needed?
Every riding surface must be irrigated to prevent dust formation. Depending on the chosen riding sand and weather conditions, water requirements vary. A few minutes a day are sufficient to keep the top layer moist. Seasonal adjustments can be easily made with the control system.
