Reduce your water and carbon footprint with plastic-free footing that's good for your horses and our environment with plant-based Noviun. This performance fiber footing is an all-natural blend of fibers and elastomers designed to reinvigorate sand arenas and tracks to world-class riding surfaces, by providing superior traction, grip, and stability with natural absorption and small cushioning.
The first industry solution to decrease concussion and increase absorption better than conventional synthetic geotextiles and fibers like European or German geotextiles, while eliminating microplastic contamination from your footing and surrounding air and watershed.
Noviun is compatible with a wide range of sand and environments and differs from man-made alternatives as the natural fibers act like a root structure, binding to your sand.
Once Noviun™ Fiber Footing is installed, riders have described the following benefits:
Natural Absorption and Small Cushioning
Indoor or Outdoor Usage
High Water
Retention
Stability
All-Weather Compatible
Plastic can be found in many footing additives. The goal when developing Noviun, was to displace the hundreds of thousands of pounds of plastic in arenas while increasing the performance and ensuring longevity compared to current plastic-based solutions. To make the first sustainable footing solution for arenas and horse racetracks.
Industry fibers are made of polypropylene or other man-made synthetics like those used to make carpet. These waste textiles, carpets or even virgin textiles have been found to provide structure to the sand, yet come at a high environmental cost. A typical 100 x 200 foot arena would use about 15,000 pounds of this plastic fiber which is equivalent to almost 500 thousand water bottles worth of plastic.
When adding plastic textiles to your footing, the plastic degrades into micro and nano plastic environmental pollution. After each rain or irrigation, it would cause an estimated 14 billion of these microplastic fibers to be shed into the surrounding ground and watershed. Thanks to the research and testing with NFW on natural fiber welding and industry arena expertise of long-time arena builder and consultant, Dan Carr, Noviun has now taken the market from geotextile and fiber based footing alternatives to allow for a green footing option.

Noviun can be easily installed without the need for outside help. It can be done one of three ways. 1.) use a manure spreader (fastest) 2.) pitch fork throwing 3.) put in tractor bucket and shake out then even it out a bit by hand. You can then simply rake it in, drag it in, or use a harrow.
Depending on the method used, it takes about 3 hours to install a full-size dressage arena and 6 hours to install a 40,000 sqft arena
It doesn't add physical depth to your current footing, yet acts as a root-like structure grabbing onto the sand and absorbing moisture.
No not at all…so technically, sand doesn’t attach to ggt that’s why it rises to the top and noviun attaches itself to the sand which will ultimately reduce water
No special drags are required like those required for GGT or carpet based footing additives. We recommend the use of our Arena Dragster, the EquiGroomer, or the preferred double-roller based Synergy
Add BaseCore™, to control erosion and
drainage of your soils.
Add Geotextile fabric that is strong, puncture
and UV resistant, and allows water flow
You can use different footing products together to create a stable, long-lasting surface that will provide multiple benefits to your riding arena or roadways.
Our experts can discuss all the footing options and help you determine the best product and quantity for your specific arena and budget.

Jennifer Benoit-Wellington –
To say that I am particular about the footing for my dressage horses is an understatement! I always loved GGT footing and as a Grand Prix rider and trainer as well as a licensed “S” dressage judge, I am very familiar with the other products on the market. When I learned about Nuvian footing, I was quite skeptical about the science behind its binding technology and wondered if it was just another “green” product that wouldn’t perform well enough to be competitive. I am beyond thrilled with the results we have experienced at my training facility! My FEI level horses feel like they are on a trampoline. My clients say it’s like riding on a cushion. The horses are more consistently connected and moving with elasticity! Do yourself and your horses a great service and get Nuvian footing!
