Improve your farm management by reducing dust, control mud, and enhance riding conditions while protecting your horses and promoting sustainability.
An enduring challenge in equine and agricultural environments is managing dust, moisture, and overall air quality. These issues impact not only the performance of animals but also the respiratory health of riders, trainers, and anyone spending substantial time in barns or arenas. Enter ARENACLEAR and PastureDRY—two innovative solutions transforming how arenas, barns, and pastures are maintained, benefiting equestrians, farm owners, and their animals.
The Origin of ARENACLEAR
ARENACLEAR was developed as a response to increasing demands for dust control in the equine world. Entrepreneurs found that dust, especially in enclosed spaces like barns and indoor arenas, created ongoing issues. Riders reported difficulties breathing, and horses exhibited respiratory distress due to high concentrations of particulate matter in the air.
What makes ARENACLEAR exceptional is its ability to tackle these problems by working at a structural level. Originally designed for agricultural land restoration, ARENACLEAR changes the chemical structure of dust particles. The product binds dust into granular clusters, reducing the airborne particulate matter that contributes to poor air quality. Rather than simply masking the issue with short-term solutions like water sprinkling, Arena Clear provides a sustainable option that reduces both dust levels and water consumption over time.
John Clark, owner of ARENACLEAR said, the product itself is one of the most unique products in the equine industry and also in the agricultural industry.” He explained the impact by sharing, “Ohio State’s Equestrian Center was watering twice a day, six to seven days a week. When they applied Arenaclear to their arena, and went down to twice a week. That’s a pretty good testimonial.”
Benefits of ARENACLEAR for Horse Arenas
1. Dust Control for Indoor and Outdoor Arenas:
A vital function of ARENACLEAR is its ability to keep dust levels in check in both indoor and outdoor arenas. By treating the arena footing with ARENACLEAR, water usage is reduced significantly while creating a safer and healthier environment for horses and riders. This is especially beneficial for equestrian centers in dry or dusty climates.
2. Water Conservation:
For arenas relying on constant watering to suppress dust, ARENACLEAR offers a more efficient alternative. It enhances soil’s ability to retain moisture, reducing the frequency of watering by up to 50-80%. Customers report using the product to extend water penetration depth by 2 to 3 times, cutting down significantly on both time and resources spent maintaining arena footing. This shift not only conserves valuable water resources but also reduces costs associated with arena maintenance.
3. Respiratory Health Benefits:
The health impacts of airborne dust are serious for both humans and animals. Horses exposed to dusty arenas are prone to respiratory issues, while riders and trainers often complain of coughing and irritation. ARENACLEAR mitigates these risks by almost entirely eliminating dust in treated areas. Anecdotal evidence from long-time users highlights fewer respiratory-related illnesses in horses and improved conditions for riders, who no longer leave arenas coated in fine dust.
4. Cleaner Barn and Tack Rooms:
Beyond the arena, dusty conditions can affect the cleanliness of tack rooms, stalls, and any other areas near untreated footing. ARENACLEAR drastically reduces the accumulation of dust on saddles, tack, and other equipment, helping barns maintain professional, clean environments.
A Proven Solution in Pasture Management
While ARENACLEAR addresses the specific needs of equestrian spaces, PastureDRY focuses on rehabilitating agricultural land and pastures. Initially created for Central California farmers dealing with chemically contaminated soil, PastureDRY not only neutralizes soil pH but also restores it to a state optimal for plant growth. Additionally, it prevents mud by improving soil structure and drainage, ensuring pastures stay drier and safer for grazing animals.
This dual-purpose solution enhances crop yields, provides safer environments for livestock, and reduces the risk of mud-related issues. The product’s impressive results stem from its ability to tackle common soil problems, such as contamination from fertilizers, long-term alkalinity or acidity, and poor drainage. By restoring the soil to a neutral pH and improving sustainability, PastureDRY helps farmers achieve better growth outcomes while maintaining healthier land.
The Environmental and Health Impact
An additional benefit of using ARENACLEAR and PastureDRY is their contribution to environmental sustainability. Water conservation is rapidly becoming an essential priority, particularly in western states and regions facing water scarcity. By reducing the frequency of watering, both products promote responsible resource usage.
From a health perspective, dust suppression is about more than comfort; it’s about reducing the risk of serious respiratory complications. Prolonged exposure to dust can lead to conditions like asthma, emphysema, and COPD in humans and horses alike. By investing in products like ARENACLEAR, farm owners take a proactive step toward improving the well-being of everyone on their property.
Why ARENACLEAR Stands Out
Compared to traditional dust control methods like sprinkler systems and continual watering, ARENACLEAR offers a long-lasting, efficient solution. Traditional methods require daily upkeep and often fail to address the root causes of dust buildup. ARENACLEAR, however, targets the issue at its source, improving soil conditions and creating long-term stability in footing while minimizing water use.
The versatility of ARENACLEAR also makes it suitable for both indoor and outdoor arenas. Horse owners and farm managers no longer have to choose between methods that are less effective outdoors or solutions that don’t optimize performance for enclosed spaces.
Transforming Equestrian Spaces
For equestrians, farm owners, and agriculture professionals, ARENACLEAR and PastureDRY represent more than just functional products. They are tools that enhance safety, sustainability, and performance across a variety of settings. From the household arena to large-scale agricultural farmland, the benefits speak for themselves.
Whether you’re looking to keep the dust down in your barn, extend the life of your arena footing, or manage muddy pastures more effectively, it’s clear that ARENACLEAR and PastureDRY are game-changing solutions. By incorporating these products, you can protect your horses, improve conditions for riders, and take one more step toward sustainable farm management.
