OTTO-ArenaTex riding fiber sand
OTTO-ArenaTex fibre riding sand: Science in every grain of sand for the perfect arena
Not all sand is the same! OTTO-ArenaTex is a premium top layer of ground, the result of decades of research in our own sand laboratory. This unique blend of broken sand and special textile fiber (OTTO GeoTextile) solves the main challenges of every arena: longevity, drainage and safety.
Water will never be a problem again. OTTO-ArenaTex is completely permeable and clay-free, so rain runs off immediately and puddles and mud are a thing of the past. At the same time, the textile fiber cleverly stores up to 6 liters of water per m², keeping the sand optimally moist and reducing your watering costs by up to 50%.
Your horse will feel the difference. The balance of round and sharp grains gives him a secure grip even on the steepest turns, while gently caring for the hoof. The elasticity of the fiber absorbs impact and returns energy, reducing leg strain and improving performance.
It's a long-term, cost-effective solution that Olympians and local riding schools love. Combined with OTTO-PerforatedMat™, you create the most professional system, and with simple daily maintenance, OTTO-ArenaTex will serve you for decades – just like it has served Billy Twomey for over 10 years.

Basic composition
A mixture of spoiled sand (up to 99.9% SiO2) and textile fiber OTTO GeoTextil .
Key advantage
A scientifically developed, optimal blend that provides superior long-term stability, drainage and elasticity. Suitable for everything from the Olympics to local schools.
Main functions
1. Exceptional longevity : Hard broken sand and robust fiber do not wear out.
2. Perfect drainage : No clay. Excess water drains away quickly, preventing puddles and mud.
3. Moisture retention : The textile fiber stores up to 6 l/m² of water (up to 10 l/m² with OTTO-PerforatedMat™), reducing the need for watering.
4. Secure support and hoof protection : The balance of round and sharp grains provides stability and prevents hoof wear.
5. Elasticity : The textile fiber gives the surface "springiness", returning energy to the horse (even better with OTTO-PerforatedMat™).Specifications
