CapillaryFlow Equestrian Hydroponic Grass Arenas
OUR PROMISE

Safer footing for your horses

Grow soilless grass directly in top quality sand using Capillary Hydroponics system, making a year round riding experience possible. ​

No top watering
No mud
No sprinklers

High quality with low maintenance

With automated mowing, fertilizing and watering the grass arena will be as easy to own and maintain as any sand arena. The system is controlled by an app.

No disruptions to riding practice

No potential of grass arena contamination with shared mowers

No potential of diseases by shared mowers

Consistent horse arena quality

Consistent quality

Better for the environment

Sand is better than soil.

But sand with grass is even better.

case studies

We are proud to have constructed the following equine arenas

Wellington, Florida

IDA Farm

IDA Farm

Earlier, strong winds used to cause overhead irrigation heads to break, which led to the ground being watered unevenly. We also got complaints about the footing from customers who rent stalls. I was also always aware of how the wind was blowing and constantly checking to see if the footing was moist enough.

Before Capillary Flow was installed here at IDA, I experienced that the tracks could be too wet if they had just been watered. In the afternoon, the tracks got dusty, hard and even slippery. During the day, it was very difficult to find the perfect moment to ride, when the surface was ideal for my horses.

Flying Cow Stables

Before the CapillaryFlow system was installed, it was very important to the farm owner to not install an irrigation system that was heavily computer based because that kind of system easily breaks in thunderstorms, and we get a lot of them in Wellington.

In our other ring, the surface is uneven and has a lot of dry spots because of the top watering. It is hard to keep the surface evenly moist throughout the arena and it’s hard for the horses to ride in that ring.

Rooted to perfection

The Capillary Hydroponics system is efficient and ensures that the grass grows healthy with deeper roots giving you the perfect grass every time.

How it works

One

The perfect grass for footing

Strong and resilient grass for a natural footing, with significantly less maintenance and environmental impact.

TWO

Grass that grows in coarse sand instead of soil

Using FEI sand as a growing medium improves the drainage capacity and creates the right geostructure for an optimal performance for horse and rider.

Three

The Capillary Material rapidly drains and moves water back up

The Capillary Material’s strong, leveled base helps to avoid settling of your arena. Additionally it helps to rapidly drain rainfall and irrigate the surface from below.

Four

A drainage layer that just works

No sand or other particles will migrate into the drainage layer, keeping its performance intact for longer.

Five

Capillary Material to keep things in place

The impermeable liner helps to collect and maintain rainwater in the system, increasing the efficiency and lower water consumption. Additionally, fertilizers and pesticides stay in the system and avoid leaching into adjacent soil.

Six

Can be installed on any ground profile

The Capillary Material keeps the ground base levelled regardless of the ground profile it is installed on - avoiding migration of particles and settling of the ground.

Seven

Heating from the ground up

With Capillary Geothermal the surface and subsurface layers will be heated by using solar heat stored in the ground, for an extended season of grass growth and riding.

Heating from the ground up for a year round riding experience

Using the stored solar-energy in the sub-soil and circulating the water before distributing it, the temperature in the root-zone can be raised in winter. In the summer, high temperatures will reversely be lowered in the root-zone. This creates optimal growth conditions regardless of season.
