Customer Testimonials

"We love our new footing from TruTex! Previously we had ground up tennis shoes and the rubber always separated from the sand, eventually causing the bottom layers of sand to pack down like hard concrete that slid when horses turned quickly on it. The TruTex Fibers combined beautifully with the sand and adds an incredible amount of cushion and stability for our Dressage Horses! The customer service is second to none and continues to be wonderful several months after our purchase! Thank you TruTex!"

“With this new ring we will have the ultimate training surface for our event and dressage horses as well as providing plenty of space for galloping/conditioning for our boarders to enjoy with their horses for years to come. Future plans include hosting jumper days for local riders, dressage ride-a-test days with licensed judges for education and training, and derby days utilizing arena cross country jumps. The opportunities are endless, and we are excited to share this with the riders of Team Greystone and central Indiana.”

"GREAT at answering questions if you are unfamiliar with the product. Our arena had a loose sand footing that has been greatly stabilized by TruTex. The horses are more confident in their balance now, and I can definitely better feel the subtleties of how they are moving. My husband and I installed in a day. Definitely a positive experience over all!"

"This footing is so incredible!! It has improved our large jump arena which had dusty/loose sand AND improved our smaller arena which was harder and would not retain water with our hot summers!!! I can not recommend this footing enough- I’ve been telling everyone just how amazing it is, how versatile and how great our horses are going because of it:)"

"This footing has been a godsend for our new arena. The fibers give not only stability but are like roots to stop washout problems as well. They also absorb a lot of moisture so help keep the arena rideable even during rain. It's MUCH easier to run beside lesson horses with the TruTex in there too!"

"These fibers are the most cost effective addition to a riding arena that you can buy. Our sand arena was deep in sections and horses would sometimes scramble and become unbalanced, especially at the canter. Our full sized dressage arena is now completely transformed with the addition of 6 bales of fibers. I cant sing TruTex fibers praises enough."
