Dust can be a big problem in equestrian arenas. Not only is it unpleasant, but it can be very unhealthy for rider and horse alike to constantly be breathing in dust. Several studies have reported that equestrian workers exposed to dust are more likely to develop chronic bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma and other conditions. Horses exposed to chronically dusty conditions can develop allergies, chronic coughs, reduced performance, and of course heaves.

Dust in arenas is potentially hazardous to both equestrians and horses. How to keep dust down in arena surfaces should be a concern of all equestrian facilities. University equestrian team facilities and horse show venues should be aware of the respiratory health hazards from dust, especially when an audience is present. Exposure from arena dust can cause bronchitis, lung disease, Farmer’s lung, asthma and other respiratory conditions. Visitors to the facility who suffer from respiratory problems are especially susceptible to adverse reactions to arena dust. Dust is especially harmful for equestrian trainers and instructors who spend several hours each day in the arena.
