A well-designed arena surface is the foundation of every safe, comfortable ride. At INTO THE WEST INDOOR ARENA we use OTTO Perforated Mat, a purpose-built footing that balances cushioning, traction and stability, absorbing up to 40 % of the force caused by the striking hoof, protecting horses’ musculoskeletal system.

Proper moisture retention and uniform depth prevent holes and uneven wear, lowering the risk of slips, trips and overreach injuries.

Superior drainage keeps the surface reliable in wet weather and slows dust for healthier lungs in both horse and rider.

A specially designed system of traction-knobs of different lengths on the upper side of the OTTO Perforated Mat guarantees a secure surface preventing horses from slipping – a priceless advantage during sharp bends and turns.

Regular maintenance—harrowing, levelling and top-dressing—preserves performance and prolongs the life of the footing.

In short, the right surface protects your horse’s welfare, boosts confidence and helps every ride feel better from warm-up to cool-down.
