The Horse Arena Footing at the Thomas & Mack Center’s competition arena and Warm Up rings were prepared with the Platz-Max Arena Drags.
If you had been fortunate enough to make it to this event, you were able to watch our arena drags zooming around the horse arena taking sharp turns around the jumps.  The Platz-Max NL-GW Plus with the double roller for tight turns and
the Platz-Max Multi were used to build and maintain the horse arena footing during the entire event.
The Platz-Max arena drags remain the # 1 choice at Olympics and World Cups alike to prepare the optimum horse arena footing for World Champions.

About Hilo Nick

Hilo is a lifelong equestrian, having competed in jumping and dressage in Germany as well as in the US. As a compassionate rider, Hilo understands the biomechanics of the horse and has deep-seated expertise and a gifted feel for sand—the most important aspect in any footing. Because of this, Hilo hand-picks the sand for all of her FootingSolutionsUSA clients. “I LOVE sand,” she says. “You have to have the right feeling for good sand and combine it with the technical and engineering aspects. I never stop searching for even better sand blends and geotextile additives to provide friendly footing for the horses.”Hilo founded FootingSolutionsUSA in 2004 to fill a void in quality riding surfaces in the US, which at the time were behind in comparison to European riding arenas.
