Does anyone have any info on the rubberized footing? Is it even possible to barrel race on this type of ground? I'm looking for any and all information about ground that would produce the least amount of dust but be awesome barrel racing ground. Currently the arena is just a concrete pad.

Also, if anyone knows of any companies in the southeast that do indoor arena footing PLEASE pm me!

Location: MD		Our state finals are held on that type of ground its a covered arena. Its called Harrington State Fairgrounds there may be pictures on line. Good ground to run in. There is one place right near me that I thought had rubber in it too but its only suitable for english riders/jumpers. It would be too slick for a barrel horse. Not sure the difference in them. Sorry I couldnt be more helpful.

Thanks for the input! I'm completely unfamiliar with this type of ground. Actually I think I'm totally against it LOL I'm wanting a clay with different sizes and cuts of sand mixed into...

Location: Canada		I know an English barn with it and the footing is good for what they do BUT it does break down with time and produce dust.

This was also my experience. I was not a fan.
