You have heard it said that the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.This maxim holds true for horses as well as for people. Whether your journey includes hunting, jumping, eventing, barrel racing, or dressage, it is a journey that you and your horse will undertake together.

Just as you look out for the care of your own feet by wearing a sturdy set of boots, so you must also look out for your horse's feet by ensuring that he trains on a quality surface. 

Footings

Just as you look out for the care of your own feet by wearing a sturdy set of boots, so you must also look out for your horse's feet by ensuring that he trains on a quality surface. 

"No hoof, no horse" may be a saying better known within the horse world, but it's another maxim that holds true. Injuries and infections such as abscesses, thrush, or laminitis can spell disaster for even the healthiest horse and should be taken very seriously. Because healthy hooves are of supreme importance, you must not only pay attention to daily hoof care (such as consistent cleaning, trimming, and shoeing), but you also must ensure that the surfaces on which you and your horses train aids in maintaining good overall hoof health. 

While providing high-quality footing at affordable rates, we here at East-West Arena Construction have built a proven track record as experts in the field of equestrian construction. We offer affordable arena footings for arenas of any size, with full customization an option.
