The PastureDRY™ product worked a miracle on our dry lot and muddy pasture.  We’ve had non-stop rain and awful muddy conditions, leading to abscesses for our equine and plain annoyance for those of us caring for them.  We have plans for repairing the areas, but that is a longer-term project.  I was hoping PastureDRY™ would be our emergency stop gap, and it was.  It worked the first day.  After following John’s simple instructions.  Ther is finally respite from muddy ankles while feeding and our equines get to enjoy dry ground before the sun has even returned, after standing in mud for weeks.  Thank you, John and ARENACLEAR™

YOU HAVE TO APPLY THIS PRODUCT CORRECTLY AND IT WORKS!!!!!!!

I was boarding my boy in a very very wet area, causing hoof problems and I was fed up. I did some research called the customer service phone number with many questions and concerns (because yes it’s expensive) about this product. The gentleman who answered the phone was AMAZING, nice, patient, answered every one of my questions. Helped guide me, didn’t pressure me into buying the product. It all depends on how wet your area is to determine how much you’ll need to saturate the area. If you don’t do it correctly it will NOT work. Worth every penny and I would buy again.

John,

We started using ARENACLEAR™ in our indoor arena last year and it has been wonderful! Previously, we used Mag Flakes, but the cost for shipping and the product itself went sky high!! It made it necessary to find another alternative for dust control.

Since we changed to ARENACLEAR™, we have noticed that the horses are having fewer abscesses, the corrosion to the metal supports of the arena fence are better, and the texture has improved.

Simi Valley, California – January 2006

Due to last year’s heavy winter rains, JPI., one of the nation’s largest multi-family developers out of Irving, Texas, was “stuck in the mud: so to speak. JPI had encountered delays on their 500-unit luxury condominium project in Simi Valley, California, putting them nearly 90 days behind schedule, potentially costing the company as much as $7,000 per day.

Compounding the problem were further delays pouring the concrete footings and pads because of the soil’s failure to pass moisture “perc” tests due to heavy clay content and the inherent lack of moisture penetration. The soil has to be able to hold a specific amount of moisture to minimize damage to the concrete over time, caused by natural expansion & contraction of the soil.

“The soil engineer was unable to pass us because we kept failing the perc test,” declared Ken Wenger, Superintendent for JPI. “We kept watering, but we couldn’t get the water to penetrate this type of soil. That’s when I remembered a soil conditioner that I used to use back in the eighties, that worked great, but I couldn’t find it anymore,” he said.

Wenger called his contact at White Cap Construction Supply, part of the Home Depot Supply Division, which caters to large and medium-sized construction contractors, and asked if they carried a product called Firm-All. “They said they had never even heard of it’ Wenger said, “but they called around and found a product that had replaced it called PastureDRY™. We ordered a 55/gallon drum to run some tests.

After following the manufacturer’s application instructions and trying a few of his own, Wenger had his soil engineer come back out and test only two days after the initial application. “He couldn’t believe how fast this stuff worked,” Wenger said, “and we passed the percolation test with flying color. This is saving JPI a ton of money every day and I expect to use this on future sites as well.

PastureDRY™ is an agricultural mineral approved by the State of California and is environmentally safe and ecologically friendly. In addition to dramatically and rapidly improving the soil percolation, PastureDRY™ breaks up the clay and hardpan soil, making excavation and landscaping projects faster and easier. It is also effective for dust control. PastureDRY™ can be purchased from TRC & Associates, Inc.

The footing in our indoor arena was a big problem. We could have the footing decent, but the air quality was terrible or the footing was muddy and terrible, but the dust was cut down. After we applied ARENACLEAR™ I saw a huge difference in our footing. It allowed us to have a happy medium where my student and horses weren’t coughing up a lung and the footing was soft supportive. It drastically cut down on the time it took me to prep the arena. I was spending about half the time watering as I was before we had ARENACLEAR™. The biggest benefit to me was the increase in air quality. Before ARENACLEAR™ we would have to stop mid lesson to let the dust settle and sometimes take the horses outside so they could get some fresh air. After applying ARENACLEAR™ we never had a single problem with air quality. We were able to have more riders in the arena at one time and ride for longer because of the dust control ARENACLEAR™ provided us. I highly recommend ARENACLEAR™ as a solution for dust control, decreasing arena prep time, and increasing air quality.

We just purchased your product a few weeks ago at Congress and we could not be happier with the results! My daughter and her horse could not be happier!

Hi John, received the order this morning. I have been using
ARENACLEAR in my indoor arena for nearly one year and am very pleased with
this product. It is very easy to apply, has resulted in a significant
decrease watering, minimal dust and provides good winter footing in our
freezing climate. Thank you for your product.

This is magic in a bottle.  I do not know how it does this, but it keeps the dust and footing so well during the hot summer and it also improves the drainage during the rainy season.  We just went through Hurricane Harvey and had over 50" of rain, but the outdoor arena was rideable the next day!  Absolutely Amazing!  Wonderful product, so glad we found it!!

I want to take a moment to thank you for a superior product and excellent customer service. I live in Alaska and my horse is stabled in a barn with 25 other horses all who have stalls surrounding an indoor arena. The arena can get so dusty that you can not see the other side. That is until we used Arena Clear on it. It is amazing at keeping down the dust. And of course that is so much better for the horses and the riders health. It is easy to use and is amazingly long lasting. Additionally you have provided excellent support by answering questions and providing suggestions. So, thank you again for your product and for being such a great resource. I highly recommend this product.
