The perfect riding experience starts with the construction of the right arena. However, to keep your surface in optimal condition for the best possible performances, regular and bespoke maintenance is in order. A thorough and regular maintenance program elongates the service life of your arena, preventing expensive repairs.
The frequency and the type of maintenance depends on the climate, the selected footing, the degree of use and the type of equestrian sport you practise. From meticulous inspections and skilful repairs of ruts or holes to improvement of the top soil and drainage – our experienced professionals will make sure that your riding surface is always in the best possible condition.
