Solutions by NEAFIM
Low volume irrigation systems, typically found in Landscape and Turf, Agriculture or Greenhouse and Nursery applications, have earned a reputable name for their convenience, efficiency, speed of plant growth, and ease of maintenance. But, the benefits of Netafim systems are no longer limited to these industries as Vern Ward, owner of Ward’s Peruvian Pasos in Walnut Creek, California has discovered. Ward uses an overhead system with Netafim SpinNet sprinklers to control dust and footing conditions in his indoor riding arena used for training horses.
Indoor riding arenas give professional and recreational riders the opportunity to continue training programs despite inclement weather, be it rain, snow or hot summer sun. While indoor riding arenas shield riders from the elements, the enclosed workspace can create other problems for horse and rider.
CASE PROJECT OVERVIEW
Dust is inherent in any indoor or outdoor riding arena due to the types of material used for footing, Ward explained. A variety of materials, including, but not limited to sand, stone dust and recycled rubber, are used in riding arenas to build supportive and safe flooring for horses to work on, but inevitably dust is kicked up. More than just inconvenient and uncomfortable to work in, dust-filled arenas pose health risks to both horse and rider. Dusty environments irritate the eyes and nasal passages and contribute to respiratory problems in both equines and humans.
