AlphaTex footing is installed by Attwood installers: AlphaTex is formulated for each arena individually and the footing is formulated for the discipline and needs of the horse and rider. Once all of the details have been determined and contract signed, Attwood Equestrian will arrive to do the work of installing AlphaTex footing in your arena. Once the arena looks perfect and the site is clean, the Crew Members will be on their way. A harrow lesson is part of the installation process as well. Attwood will make sure you have the best harrow, it is set up correctly, and demonstrate the best practices for maintenance.
Bases: AlphaTex footing can be installed on an indoor or covered compacted aggregate/stone base. For an outdoor arena, Attwood Equestrian recommends and can install a free draining base.
Attwood Equestrian can build outdoor arenas from the ground up. We are skilled at determining arena location, site excavation and arena sub-base prep, outdoor and indoor bases, and footing. Our outdoor bases include containment and vertical drainage. We can also work with contractors on site for best results.
“There simply are not enough good things I can say about our new AlphaTex footing! Not only is it low maintenance, it provides the best training service for our high performance, developing young horses, and clients. This easy to care for footing takes a huge burden off my shoulders with so many other things needing my attention on the farm. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for providing such a product of the highest excellence and a team to back it up!”
– Jordan LaPlaca, FEI dressage competitor and trainer at Maverick Hill Dressage
