| Abstract/Contents: | Addresses turf management practices for equestrian facilities, noting that "footing, as the performance surface is called in equestrian circles, has become a science as well as an industry." Explains that obtaining a good equestrian surface entails "making sure you have the right surface for the discipline that the rider and horse are doing," and that "the climate of the area the rider generally trains will determine his or her comfort level." Describes the various materials used for equestrian surfaces such as sand, dirt, wood chips, grass, and artificial versus natural surfacing in regards to the required level of compaction. Details the design and organization of an equestrian facility in Texas, including proper housing and care of the horses. |
