Eliminate harmful dust from your indoor riding arena It’s a fact of life – dust happens! If you’re lucky enough to have an indoor riding arena, you must manage and control dust to protect the health of your livestock and your riders. Arena Dust-B-Gone works by coating each individual particle in your soil so it retains moisture long after it would have normally evaporated. This adds weight to the particles, so they cannot be suspended in the air as dust. Arena Dust-B-Gone is a safe, biodegradable, long-lasting, environmentally friendly treatment that eliminates dust in your indoor arena – but the benefits don’t stop there: - Reduce water usage. No one can afford to waste water, whether you use a private well or haul water in. Water usage varies depending upon humidity and climate; with the doors open for ventilation here in Montana, we sometimes had to water our arena twice a day during the summer months to keep dust down in our extremely low humidity. - Reduce labor costs. Someone’s got to spray! Apply Arena Dust-B-Gone once, and then follow with a maintenance application two to three months later at 1/5 the initial application rate. - Reduce fuel costs. Even if you spray from a fuel efficient ATV, costs add up; if you currently haul water for dust control, you use even more fuel. - Ride more! Hauling and spraying water for dust control takes time away from pleasure riding, training and competing – and isn’t that why you have an indoor arena? Protect and Improve Health and Performance Dust-filled arenas pose health risks to both horse and rider. Dusty environments irritate the eyes and nasal passages and are linked to eye and respiratory problems in both equines and humans. Dust also aggravates health problems like asthma, heaves, pneumonia, COPD and RAO for rider and horse. If a horse can’t breathe, he can’t work. Research shows that horses require a startling 3,000% more oxygen while training and competing than while at rest. Anyone who has spent time in an untreated arena can attest to the fact that dust reduces the amount of breathable oxygen in a closed space. Extended exposure can also limit the blood cells' ability to fight infectious diseases by overloading the lung's primary defense mechanism. In addition to general aggravation and congestion, dust may also contain harmful particulate depending on the makeup of your soil. Certain areas of the country have higher levels of phosphates, silica and other potentially harmful substances in the soil. The natural action of riding and repeatedly working the soil in an indoor environment breaks these substances down into smaller and smaller particles that can become airborne as dust. Arena Dust-B-Gone is 100% safe Arena Dust-B-Gone is a clear, odorless biodegradable treatment. Take a moment to read the Material Safety Data Sheet posted here on our website. It confirms that Arena Dust-B-Gone is 100% safe and environmentally friendly. Arena Dust-B-Gone is easy and economical to apply Arena Dust-B-Gone is sold in 5 gallon buckets with a convenient quick spout for easy pouring. Mix Arena Dust-B-Gone in your tank at a ratio of 1/50 gallons of water. For the initial application, dampen the footing completely with the mixture. Each gallon of Arena Dust-B-Gone treats 750 square feet (5 gallons/3,750 square feet).
For example, if your indoor arena is 70 ft x 150 ft, you have a
total area of 10,500 square feet. Divide 10,500 by the
application rate of 750 sq. ft. and you will need 14 gallons
of Arena Dust-B-Gone For continued effectiveness, reapply a maintenance coat of Arena Dust-B-Gone every three months at 1/5 the normal application rate.
For the 10,500 square foot arena in the above example, the
That’s less than 23 gallons of Arena Dust-B-Gone and just four applications for an entire year of dust abatement. Arena Dust-B-Gone is not recommended for use in box stalls, but customers do use it in alleyways to eliminate dust. A handheld hose end sprayer is a convenient way to treat small areas. About Us Arena Dust-B-Gone is sold exclusively by the Townsend Ranch. We stumbled upon this product in 2005 and were very happy with the results in our own indoor arena. Unfortunately, when it was time to reorder, we learned that the owner of the company had died and the family had no interest in selling the product. We bought the rights and began marketing the product as Arena Dust-B-Gone. Today Arena Dust-B-Gone is being used by indoor arena owners all over the United States, in Canada and in Europe. The Townsend Ranch is located in Darby, Montana, nestled between the Bitterroot and Sapphire Mountain ranges. The impressive history of this ranch dates back four generations when Great Grandpa “Boney” furnished horses to the US Calvary and Ernest Townsend became one of three founding charter members of the Idaho Packers Association. The ranch has been handed down to each generation and is presently being managed and operated by Larry and Janice Townsend. We currently raise and train over 100 Paint and Quarter horses annually.
