The Ebb and Flow Arena Watering System

The solution to an ideal riding surface from Germany: An arena footing system with integrated irrigation and drainage. This German engineered invention creates the premier all-weather riding arena.

While nature delivers high and low tide to the beach, you can regulate the ebb and flow of water to your arena, creating continuous, perfect moisture at every inch. This subterranean irrigation system has a high drainage capability – during rainfall, the excess rain water is simply removed thru the sub-system!

We offer professional planning from start to finish for Ebb and Flow arena systems and the HIT Active Aqua underground watering system throughout the United States.

How it Works

This arena watering system can be built on any impermeable soil or other difficult terrain, even close to hill sides!

The Ebb and Flow system combines the arena base and footing in one and ensures an optimum and even moisture condition from below. Plus, large amounts of water from heavy rainfalls is easily pumped off through the system. Unreliable overhead sprinklers and over-watering with water trucks are a thing of the past!

A specially welded liner establishes a watertight basin on which the moisture exchange system is installed. Special drainage pipes are laid out and then connected to sensors and a pump, which regulates the optimum moisture level underneath the riding surface automatically. Then, the arena watering system is covered with 13 inches of capillary silica sand and FSGeoTEX geotextile arena footing. The footing is given constant, basic moisture and elasticity by the capillary effect of the sand.

Features of the Ebb and Flow Horse Arena Watering System

The Ebb and Flow Horse Arena Watering System has proven to be the best all-weather arena surface in the world, providing:

Consistent stability of the footing, very much like riding on the beach during low tide

High elasticity of the top footing

Even moisture at every inch

High drainage capability – during rainfall the excess rain water will be removed/conserved through the system

Optimum shear strength

Combination of arena base and footing in one

Ability to be set up on difficult and impermeable grounds
