Pro-Ride is an
all weather synthetic track and thoroughbred gallop footing, comprised of carefully graded sands
and
Pro Ride's patented polymeric binder, engineered to exacting standards combined with a PR
cushioning agent producing the world's first 2-phase cushioning technology.
Pro-Ride is sure-footing, has minimal kickback, provides greater hoof support and is the most consistent surface available.
Pro-Ride is a High Use/Low Maintenance Surface
This footing supports high volumes of daily work enabling a volume shift to the Pro-Ride from traditional sand, dirt and/or turf tracks. Our all-weather synthetic tracks generate large financial savings. Pro-Ride can be used as an all-in-one training and racing footing.
Unique 2-Phase Cushioning
Unlike other all-weather synthetic surfaces Pro-Ride uses cushioning technology within the molecular structure
of the binder as well as the inclusion of the PR cushioning agent. This provides a stable footing with the
ability to absorb impact from the animal throughout the whole profile.
Reduced Injury Trend
Following the installation of Pro-Ride, each facility has noted a large reduction in the incidence
and severity of musculoskeletal injuries with most trainers and owners reporting no injuries at all on the surface. Fewer injuries assist in longer racing life for the horse
and a Return-On-Investment unmatched by any other conventional footing.
