Dust Free Surfaces

Our dust-free footing comes in multiple blends, and consists of a specialized sand that is precisely blended with a select paraffin. All of our dust free surfaces are functional, high-quality footing options that can be used in both indoor and outdoor arenas.

Water Dependent Surfaces

Our water dependent footings come in many iterations. We provide a top-quality, predetermined silica-fiber blend. Additionally, when necessary we can create a custom blended footing with local masonry sand to meet individual usage and budget requirements.

Subterranean Products

We do not simply sell footing; we sell our service. We live and breathe arena surfaces, and we are horse people, too. Our strength is not only in creating footing, but knowing what works best for every individual situation, from a small lesson barn to an Olympic-level training facility.

Imagine what FootingFirst™ can do for your ride!
