H2O Riding Systems

The Olympians’ Choice -Total control underfoot


The H2O Riding System is a new revolution in surface technology. It makes use of the controlled regulation of water content within a surface to produce perfect consistent going. The arena surface is contained inside an impervious 'bath like' liner which is self-watering and self-draining with the aid of an advanced computer control unit.

The System's precise moisture control via a network of pipes allows 'the ride' of the surface to be finely adjusted according to rider preference.

  • In Winter months excess rainwater Is pumped away until the required 'saturation' setting Is reached.
  • In Summer months water is continually regulated through the arena compensating for surface evaporation and Keeping the sand perfectly hydrated for optimum performance!

This state of the art concept has been developed over 10 years and has been used to great effect in Europe by leading Olympic riders such as Dr Schulten- Baumer and Ingrid Klimke from Dressage, and Ludger Beerbaum and Willie Mellinger from Show Jumping.


The H2O Riding System Advantages include:

  1. Advanced control unit precisely regulates
  2. An all purpose surface, adjustable to every use allowing diversification to maximise income
  3. Controlled Freeze Sensor for perfect winter riding
  4. Automatic moisture regulation maintains chosen ground conditions regardless of weather conditions
  5. Minimal kickback
  6. No overhead irrigation and waxed surfaces required to overcome dust
  7. Very low maintenance with ability to ‘flush’ the surface clean* to remove dropping sediments avoiding the drying out experienced with some waxed surfaces
  8. No more expensive than the leading conventional surfaces & construction



LESLIE ON A WINNER AGAIN WITH H20 !
Celebrating 10 years of service


If the first rider to have Equestrian Direct’s revolutionary new H2O Riding System installed is anything to go by this innovative all-weather arena system will take the market by storm. British Olympic hero Leslie Law, who won European Gold last year, (British Team Member) has chosen to have the H2O Riding System put into his new property.

Leslie commented: “Having just had my new outdoor H2O Riding system installed I can’t imagine how I managed before. With wear and tear on horse’s joints now being linked to surfaces it’s such a huge advantage to be able to modify the going to suit what I’m doing, whether it’s jumping or flatwork, and also to each of my horses individually”.

Leslie added:”I really do think that the H2O Riding system is a break through in all weather surfaces and a revolution in terms of arena management, saving us a lot of time and effort!”
