The shape of your arena kickboards can make more of a difference to safety, maintenance and everyday usability than you might think. Here are 3 reasons ArenaMate® CURVE kickboards are designed in this way:
1. Greater clearance for the rider
The curved profile helps maintain space between the horse and the arena wall, reducing the risk of a rider’s leg making contact or becoming trapped during training.
2. More space around the horse’s lower limbs
By creating additional room at the base of the wall, the curve helps reduce the risk of contact with the horse’s hooves and joints.
3. Easier arena maintenance
Rounded corners give arena levellers fewer tight, square spaces to negotiate. This makes it easier to maintain the arena perimeter and helps reduce surface build-up in the corners.
CURVE kickboards are manufactured from 7-9 thermoformed wooden layers, with a poplar core and hardwood outer layers for impact resistance and long-term functionality.
Optional features include matching gates, dressage markers and an integrated folding mounting block that stores neatly within the kickboard when not in use.
Designed around horse and rider. Built for the practical demands of a working arena.
