This was an excerpt from an advertisement by Fiore Farms:
Fiore Farms has great success with ArenaKleen for arena dust control –
The footing of the arena (250×150 ft) is 6″ of compacted sand rocks, slightly graded,(~ 2degrees from the crown). Screening on top of approximately 5-6″ thickness. We resolved our dust problem. After a painful three months of diligent homework and in strict contact with the NC Dept. of Agriculture and NCSU for the evaluation on safety & environmental impact, we applied 2000 gallons of ArenaKleen, (from DirtGlue Enterprises) to arena and covered round pen (the product is non toxic and environmentally friendly). Riding areas are all with lights. A sitting deck and a judge stand are overlooking the arena. We are very pleased with the results and have had a virtually dust free arena since the application this spring. This hot dry summer has been an acid test for the system and it has held beautifully. We and our horses can finally breathe clean air when we ride and when we are observing from the arena sitting deck. All the riders and the equestrian director say also that they like the consistency of the footing. We have a high level dressage rider here, who also likes the footing material and its effective dust control.

By the way, Summerfield, NC received a 10 inch rainfall one day in mid September and all of Fiore Farms arena footing material washed out of the arena. Once everything dried up they were able to “rescue” their treated footing by using a Bobcat to go around and scoop up the runaway material and transport it back into the riding arena. Flore White reported that once put back in the riding arena and leveled and groomed the ArenaKleen dust control continued to work well.
