Horse Arena Dust Control Services & Solutions
Horse Arena Dust Control
Controlling dust is a common problem for indoor and outdoor horse arenas. When horses move around the arena they kick dust into the air, which can harm both horses and humans. It can lead to lung and eye issues, as well as adding extra hours of labor to your work day.
Having a strategic horse arena dust abatement program in place can help protect the health and well-being of horses, riders, employees, spectators, and equipment. The Gasaway Company, utilizes over 43 years of experience to create customized horse arena dust control solutions throughout Illinois and the Midwest. One of our employees who is an avid rider, uses our services at their horse arenas.

Controlling Horse Arena Dust
Most Stable Managers spray dusty arenas with water to control the dust. That does not work because water only lasts for a short period of time. This method wastes time with repeated man hours and wasting water. Other Barn Managers buy bags of calcium chloride or salt and add them to the footing. What they do not realize is that calcium starts out as a liquid. It costs more to dry and bag it, making it a much more expensive option. If Barn Managers do not put the right ratio down, it will not control the dust.
How Can Dust Be Managed In My Horse Arena?
Each horse arena will require different options to manage dust effectively. The type of footing, local weather conditions, and how often the arena is used are factors that need to be carefully considered. The Gasaway Company can provide recommendations on the best program for your arena(s), such as base stabilizations and dust control applications. Our team will work with you to prepare the surfaces and footings for dust control suppressant applications. We will use our proprietary science-based suppressants that quickly bind with footings and base soil, resulting in less dust and a safer environment for everyone.

Benefits Of Dust Control
It is essential to choose the best dust control products for your horse arena footing to achieve the best level of protection. Some products and methods may offer short-term benefits, but they require constant re-application, leading to additional maintenance costs and more labor. Our science-based formula offers outstanding dust control and longer-lasting protection with fewer applications. Other benefits of our dust control programs include:
Improving Health & Safety
Inferior suppression products can reduce the lifetime of the footing. Dust means the footing you paid for is blowing away, out barn doors and windows. Keeping the footing in place saves money and time. The right products hold the arena footing together and keep it in place. Minimizing your maintenance and replacement costs.
Increased Life of Footing
Less dust in the area is highly desirable from a health and safety perspective. Air quality is significantly improved, resulting in more pleasant riding conditions and decreasing the likelihood of riders and the horse developing any respiratory problems. The improved visibility also helps to protect riders, instructors, and horses from potential accidents.
Why Horse Arenas Need Dust Control?
No matter what footing you choose, you can be left with a dust storm as the horses move around the arena if it isn’t properly treated. All that dust is unpleasant for horses, riders, employees, spectators, and neighboring commercial and residential properties. In horse arenas with poor dust control programs, the dust can create several health and safety issues. The reduced level of visibility in the arena can increase the likelihood of accidents. At the same time, the large volume of particles in the air can lead to respiratory problems for both horses and humans.
