Pinnacle

This ultimate riding surface combines the latest in technology and our 20 years of equestrian arena footing experience. Pinnacle is engineered with premium materials to bring you the optimum in shear strength, minimal concussion and maximum viscoelastic rebound. Pinnacle surfaces are formulated from high quality silica sand and fibres, and coated with viscoelastic polymer, to bring you the optimum in shear strength, shock absorption and maximum viscoelastic rebound. Pinnacle is laser graded to a uniform depth of four inches over a carefully graded compacted base.

• Indoor and outdoor use • Requires no watering • Dust free • Industry leading concussion reduction

and rebound • More stable than wax to extremes of

temperature • Customisable to suit jumping,

dressage, racing

EuroTex EuroTex is a unique composition of Polyester felt and fiber. The Felt and Fiber provide lateral and vertical binding to achieve optimum consistency and cushioning.

Portable Arenas What do you do when you require the best footing, but only for a limited time? Attwood’s Portable Arenas are the solution to this surprisingly common problem. Our highly acclaimed EuroTex footing is laid over a series of custom made mats, and can be removed after the event is over. The footing retains all its properties. The Menlo Charity Horse Show was the ideal platform for Attwood to demonstrate this technology. The 2014 show was claimed to be a major success with the footing receiving universal praise.

AmeriTrack This complete race track system is specifically designed and formulated for horse safety and injury reduction. AmeriTrack is engineered with a free-draining base and all-weather cushion. It incorporates a vertical drainage system which eliminates movement of the cushion to the rail and results in a consistent, no bias track. Unlike many coated surfaces, AmeriTrack is manufactured without wax. AmeriTrack remains stable in extreme temperature conditions. During high temperatures, it will not melt or become soft, and during extreme cold, it will remain soft and pliable, rather than become hard and brittle.

• Dust-free and non-tacky • Consistent going • Manufactured from premium raw

materials • Engineered for thoroughbred training

and racetrack • Reduced concussion with viscoelastic

rebound • Freeze-resistant and stable over a

wide temperature range

Green Footings

Our footings are now available in a green shade. This 'Green Pinnacle' as we refer to it has all the properties of our high performing Pinnacle footing. Additionally, the colour resists fading, and does not wash out in rain. Because our Green Pinnacle contains very pure fibres and polymeric coating, and no carpet scrap or recycled rubber which turns the footing black, we believe we are the only company capable of supplying a quality green product that will remain green throughout its life.

• The green surface gives a very appealing visual result

• The colourant reflects infra-red radiation from the sun and keeps the footing cool

• The coloured surface minimizes glare allowing better depth perception for both the horse and the rider

Testimonials “For dressage horses this footing has the right amount of give while maintaining stability. When you pick it up in your hands it feels like you're squeezing cotton candy and when you relax your hold it bounces back in a three dimensional manner, giving you the impression that it is alive. It reacts the same way when you watch a hoof land on it. A slight depression is made which then rebounds back to its original form. The end result is surprisingly consistent footing. What amazed me the most was that at the end of each day my boots were just as clean and shiny as they were early in the morning right after being polished. It was so nice not to have the usual dust and sand that seems to stick to your boots like glue. “

- George Williams Prominent Dressage Rider, President - USDF, Chair - USEF High Performance Eligible Athlete Committee

"...the lovely indoor arena, with its state-of-the-art footing that I believe consisted of shredded bouncy balls and recycled angel wings…”

- Lauren Sprieser Prominent Dressage Rider, USDF Gold Medallist, NAYRC Gold Medallist, USEF Developing Listed rider

“TerraNova has this incredible cushiony feel to it. The horses just love it. I really feel that this footing is enhancing the well being of my horses. I find it very easy to take care of and most importantly it stays so consistent. And as for the cold Pennsylvania winters, the ring really never freezes. A plus for us who don’t go south.”

- Kate Hicks Prominent Eventer, Graduate A Pony Clubber, 2006 CCI** Champion
