Ebb and Flow Systems

Our excellent ebb and flow system comes from Europe. Providing water from below, this system keeps the footing moist at all times. Ebb and flow uses one-third of the water supply that any other system that requires irrigation needs. As water becomes a commodity, this is extremely useful in areas like California and Arizona. Many top international riders prefer this system over many others, as it offers a dust-free surface at all times and a softer working environment for the horse. Some footings are too firm for everyday work at home.
