GGT Butterfly Mats™

The use of arena mats can significantly reduce the cost of traditional layering methods with gravel, extra sand and the labor involved in the construction. Now with the GGT Butterfly Mats™, This new design that will allow arena builders and farm owners a choice on how they construct their arena base.

By utilizing the GGT Butterfly Mat™ system, one can protect their horse’s joints and tendons from long term concussion and instability due to slippage from traditional footing surfaces. The typical force of a striking hoof is absorbed by the mat this plays an important role in maintaining soundness.

The drainage holes in the mat allow for excess water to drain quickly, thus allowing arenas to be used quicker after a rain.

The GGT Butterfly™ Mats design also has water retention system that minimizes respiratory damage due to dusty footings by capturing small amounts of water thru a cup design .The moisture is then released into the arena sand which not only helps with dust control, but reduces the need for watering.
GGT Butterfly Mats™ are manufactured from recycled material. In this way, our company actively contributes to environmental protection and sustainable development.
