PferdeSport International Magazine Edition 26 2010

From 4th to 23rd May 2010 an international show-jumping tournament series took place in the Magna Racino Horse Racing Arena in Ebreichsdorf, Austria.

For this event the company Dammann Reitplatz- und Sportplatzbau GmbH built two tournament arenas covering a total area of 9,600 m².

The active riders and tournament management were so delighted with the resulting riding surface that during the course of the coming month all the facility’s other riding arenas are being equipped with Dammann’s ebb and flow water-regulating system. An additional riding area of 15,300 m² is thus being created.

In june we built a riding surface for the Prince "Alwaleed Bin Talal Bin Abdulaziz Alsaud" at the Kingdom Resort in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The Ebb and Flow System by Dammann is functional by temperatures above 45° C and allows an everytime dust-free use.

The opening of the riding facility at the CES in Valencia took place to everyone’s satisfaction on the new riding surfaces equipped with Dammann’s ebb and flow water-regulating system. Under optimum conditions and in the most glorious weather all the riders taking part in this major show-jumping tournament were able to ride in the large 100 m x 70 m outdoor arena as well as in the large 70 m x 30 m indoor arena.

In the French horse-breeding centre les Haras nationaux du Lion d’Angers a new riding arena was installed equipped with Dammann’s well known ebb and flow water-regulating system.

The 4,400 m² training area and the 8,400 m² tournament arena offer optimum conditions for the international tournaments taking place annually.

For the international horse show taking place in the grounds of Germany’s Hardenberg country estate a riding arena was built equipped with the Risohorse® ebb and flow water-regulating system.

The riding surface lived up to the expectations of the riders at all times and was expressly mentioned by Christian Ahlmann during an interview, in which he described the riding surface as outstanding.

In summer 2007 a show jumping arena, paddocks and an indoor surface were created using the Risohorse® ebb and flow system.
The riding surface was inaugurated in November as part of an international CSI tournament.

The outdoor riding surface at the new Real Sociedad Hípica de Granada riding complex was equipped with the Risohorse® ebb and flow riding surface system. International tournaments are planned at the riding complex starting in 2008.

At the new Grupo dos Lunas Club de Polo in Jimena de la Frontera riding complex we were given the opportunity to set up two training tracks for polo horses (1000 m x 6 m oval) using the Risohorse® ebb and flow system, as well as a dressage surface and a training arena for polo horses.
According to the operator of the complex, the guest polo teams from America and Argentina found the complex provided ideal training conditions.

The Showground in Wellington/West Palm Beach has a new Risohorse® ebb and flow system riding surface. Shortly before the start of the Florida Sunshine Tour, a second Risohorse® riding arena was set up at the Showground.
On the second weekend, heavy rainfall almost paralysed the "Winter Equestrian Games". To the astonishment of those present, both ebb and flow areas were able to withstand the rain and were ready to be ridden upon without any interruptions.
Michael Morrissey, the owner and operator of the complex, then spontaneously placed a new order for approximately 1 hectare of riding area equipped with the Risohorse® ebb and flow system.

We installed a tournament arena which was available for unrestricted use immediately after completion.
The foundation work made high demands of both man and machine.
But even extreme rainfall and intense heat were not enough to cause the tournament's management team to delay proceedings. 
Riders and responsible parties complimented the riding arena as the best in North America.

The Risohorse® ebb and flow system riding surfaces which we installed in 2002 in Montenmedio, ensured that the Sunshine Tour was once again a success for the riders and promoters this year.
