HORSE ARENA FOOTING
First, a little background on the Paxton Arena in Yorba Linda, CA. The City of Yorba Linda built and donated an arena so that we could hold horse shows and bring our horses there to ride because we have a lot of horses residing in Yorba Linda.(Over 3000) It is a nice facility and it is used by a lot of horse people.

Someone brought up the subject at a City Council meeting that the arena could use more sand to improve the footing. Before the city spends any more of our Equestrian funds on sand for the Paxton Arena someone please learn something about arena footing. At the last horse show held there the footing looked great to us the way it is.
The only discipline that needs really deep footing is for cutters and reiners. Deep footing is unsafe for the other disciplines. It figures that the guy who asked for the sand is the only cutter/reiner that rides in the Paxton Arena. And there are no clues there? DUH. Would somebody please get on the Internet and read about horse arena footing?
Your comments please?
