Equestrian Fields & Grounds
The Horse market has relied on Water-Reels for years to improve footing, suppress dust and water ranches, horse arenas, pastures and paddocks, and polo fields. These areas require special care and attention. It is vital to maintain adequate traction, a springy footing, and low-dust environment to ensure the safety of both horse and rider. In ground irrigation systems and chemical dust-control, treatments are expensive and potentially dangerous. Kifco Water-Reels provide a simple, safe, and cost-effective horse arena watering system. Our machines are a one-time investment that can save you both money and hours of labor.
See below to learn more about some of the options for caring for equestrian fields and grounds.
