Project in the spotlight
The Acres Dressage
"We have been using our new riding arena now for several years and I can’t tell you how satisfied we are with the watering system as well as the footing (HSPG High Score Performance Ground). The moisture level is perfect and it is very easy to adjust. Summers in California are hot and dry but the footing stays perfect every day."
Jan Ebeling
Olympian & champion dressage trainer
Made from
top-quality foam
Our performance pad is made of closed-cell crosslinked polyethylene foams (XPE) that were originally produced for a different purpose in various industries where quality and product performance is key. Schmitz Foam Products combines these foams into a shock pad that delivers a safe and comfortable surface for combined sports use.
Regulates the moisture content of the sand layer
The open structure of our performance pad enhances the typically used high and low tide arena systems.
Increased safety for the horse and its rider
Due to the system’s sand consistency the safety of the horse can be guaranteed. On top of that our pad provides significantly improved fall protection compared to traditional systems, keeping its rider comfortable and safe.
Easy to install
Our performance pad for equestrian sports is available in rolls and interlocking puzzle-shaped sheets and are easy to install. It doesn’t require special skills or equipment and is independent of weather conditions.
Excellent water management capabilities
By adding the performance pad, excellent water management can be guaranteed. After heavy rainfall the arena dries up faster than traditional arena systems. Read more about this excellent base for horse riding arena's on the Horse Competence Center's website.
