Why choose an Ebb and Flow arena?

The perfect arena footing needs to not be either too firm or too soft. Only by finding the ideal balance can a riding arena optimally support the joints and tendons of horses. An optimum surface can be achieved by choosing an expertly constructed arena with the right sand and a reliable system for controlling the moisture content of the sand.
Traditionally, riders looking for quality have a choice between an equestrian arena with sprinkler system or a surface with an Ebb and Flow system. At Equi-P, we have specialized in Ebb and Flow systems for many years. We are 100% convinced that these riding arenas are the most attractive in terms of price and quality. Moreover, we have a very solid, unique system that we have completely perfected over the years.

How does an Ebb and Flow arena work?

An Ebb and Flow system differs from a traditional arena with sprinklers in that the surface moisture is regulated using an underground drainage system. Excess water is drained into a well and circulated throughout the arena when it is too dry. During extremely dry periods the arena can also be moistened by topping up the Ebb and Flow system with additional water.

A good Ebb and Flow riding surface combines high-quality materials with professional installation and technology. After all, it is the sum of many parts:

• A waterproof foil
• A drainage circuit
• An Ebb and Flow system
• Drainage sand
• A top layer (sand or mix of sand with geotextile)
• Finishing materials (coping stone, fence, etc.)
