Riding a horse is not a gentle hobby, to be picked up and laid down like a game of solitaire.

It is a grand passion.

GGT-FOOTING™

HAS AN

ARENA CONDITIONER TO MEET ALL YOUR NEEDS

EQUINE Health

TRAINING & Showing

EQUINE Fashion

Our most popular and lightest weight model is our GGT ATV COMPATIBLE ARENA CONDITIONER. It has a 57” width, weighs approximately 442 lbs., has 18 tines and rear cage roller with internal auger for pulling material from rail back to center, requires only a 20 hp tow vehicle with a drop on ball hitch (1 7/8 ball not included), is swivel standard (for getting into corners easily), and comes with a TRACK CLEARER (so doesn’t scrape your kick rail), AND LEVELING BAR (for additional smoothing of the surface before the rear cage roller) as included standard features.

Our 71” One Care Pro is tractor compatible with Cat One attachment, has a 71” Width, weighs approximately 658 lbs., has a smoothing bar and 8 front and 9 rear tines, and rear cage roller with internal auger for pulling material from rail back to center, requires a 25 hp tow vehicle with cat one PTO attachment, is swivel standard (for getting into corners easily), and comes with a TRACK CLEARER (so doesn’t scrape your kick rail), AND LEVELING BAR (for additional smoothing of the surface before the rear cage roller) as accessory features.

See all models at www.ggtfooting.com/arena-conditioners.

SEE OUR NEW TWIN ROLLER MODELS ALSO Now available in 62” and 71”.

Our 87” One Care Pro is tractor compatible with Cat One attachment, has an 87” Width, weighs approximately 728 lbs., has a smoothing bar and 10 front and 11 rear tines, and rear cage roller with internal auger for pulling material from rail back to center, requires a 25 hp tow vehicle with cat one PTO attachment, is swivel standard (for getting into corners easily), and comes with a TRACK CLEARER so doesn’t scrape your kick rail), AND LEVELING BAR (for additional smoothing of the surface before the rear cage roller) as accessory features.

Our 98” One Care Pro is tractor compatible with Cat One attachment, has a 98” Width, weighs approximately 883 lbs., has a smoothing bar and 12 front and 12 rear tines, and rear cage roller with internal auger for pulling material from rail back to center, requires a 45 hp tow vehicle with cat one PTO attachment, the swivel is standard (for getting into corners easily), and comes with a TRACK CLEARER so doesn’t scrape your kick rail, AND LEVELING BAR for additional smoothing of the surface before the rear cage roller as accessory features. *Most tractor models ARE sold with the Track Clearer if you have a FULL KICK WALL. If it’s just a regular fence – you really don’t need one. The added Level Bar accessory is almost never sold as the models come with a “smoothing bar” standard as well.

The ATV ONE-Care Slim is driven by a HONDA gas engine with low emission levels and electric starter. This all-in-one package gives you the flexibility of an easy-to-use tractor with adynamic and adjustable arena conditioner. Ideal for tight conditions.

This Arena Conditioner is excellently suitable for narrow passages or limited space conditions like round pens or horse walkers. With the working width of only 43” (roll width) even circular guideways or round pens are no problem anymore.

As usual, an excellent working result will be achieved by combining two-rowed spring steel tines with a smoothing sheet and a grid roller. The hoof marks can be lifted hydraulically for easy movement within the riding arena.

GGT -Footing ™ is the equine footing division of Polysols, Inc. Located in Spartanburg SC. Originally based out of Germany, but due to demand in the USA, a plant was opened thirteen years ago to accommodate the growing needs. We also have accomplished arena builders around the world, ready to serve your every need for arena footing.

Now offering a full line of Arena textile additives, specialty CONDITIONERS, stall Ez mats, arena butterfly matting systems, moisture control.

Underwater ebb and flow systems and water free solutions by our installers.

Our products are used in private back yard farms to World Class Olympic level venues.

The Ocala Polo Club, A Growing Community

By Lauren Proctor-Brown

While the 2020’s aren’t the glorious roaring ‘20’s the world was hoping for, the Ocala Polo Club is roaring to success with players and ponies alike finding their strides in the first summer season and second winter season! It’s truly magnificent to see the community of Ocala Polo take shape and bond around a common love of the sport.

With each season, the community of the Ocala Polo Club has grown on and off the field. For Winter 2022 it has even coalesced into a Booster Club! The brand new boosters have gotten behind the scenes access to the players, extra polo rules and strategy lessons and bonded over their shared love of the sport. They have also become integral to Ocala Polo’s Community Causes. We are looking forward to our second annual Horses & Heroes day which honors our veterans and raises money for the Wounded Warrior Project, on February 20th, 2022. They have also partnered with a variety of other local organizations from the Humane Society of Marion County to the Marion County Therapeutic Riding Association to give back to our local community. The boosters can be found every Sunday, cheering loudly and dressed for each week’s match theme! From fancy hats for the Laneway Cup to crowns for the Julie Braswell Memorial, Sunday’s are always a fun time and the Boosters do it right!

Tailgating at Sunday Polo is a fabulous, family-friendly activity on a Sunday Afternoon in sunny central Florida.

On any given Sunday, our spectators enjoy easy acces to polo as they drive up fieldside and tailgate right from their vehicles. Well-behaved dogs are always welcome and take center stage at our Polo for Pooches day! Don’t forget to stretch your legs at half time for the divot stomp and join in to win prizes at the Halftime Challenge! You can try your hand at swinging a polo mallet from the back of “Woody” the wooden horse. Don’t worry he has a pretty steady head and all ages and levels can give it a go!

Once you’ve tried your strokes on Woody you’ll have a new appreciation for the fledgling players hitting in the outdoor field in the Horseman’s League. Our polo school has been hard at work introducing polo to new riders in the area from a variety of disciplines. This summer, several of our riders graduated from the Arena League to outdoor polo and the Horseman’s League was born. Our polo school runs arena and outdoor practice weekly and provides private lessons to teach riders the strokes and rules of the game. Polo is accessible to riders of all ages and experience levels who wish to expand their equestrian horizons.

League has grown to be a tight-knit group of women supporting women to excel in the sport. The Ocala Women’s League inspires women to succeed on and off the field.

We’ve partnered with the Florida Thorobred Fillies to celebrate the Julie Braswell Memorial Cup and Beth Rose Cup annually in December and February respectively.

Women are succeeding not only in the Women’s League but in the Arena, Horseman’s and Tournament Leagues as well. Polo is a unique sport that allows women to compete on the same stage as men, both professionally and as amateurs. Horses give us all the power to do things we might not be able to do on our own.

The influx of equine enthusiasts to Ocala has also brought several seasoned polo players to the Ocala Polo Club from across North America. These players were attracted to the welcoming community of Ocala Polo; some have moved to Ocala full time while others commute for the season or for weekends. Whether it’s a long or short stay, players are excited to play in Ocala and be a part of the community of polo here.

The Ocala Polo Club believes strongly in supporting Women’s Polo and has developed the Ocala Polo Women’s League, which hosts matches monthly. The Women’s

After a winter of successful polo, Ocala Polo takes a break in the spring to travel with players to other Polo Clubs in the Southeast and Florida. Then summer brings Saturday evening polo! Mother nature is a true polo fan, with summer afternoon storms cooling off to make a weekly 6pm polo match just right. The local community on and off the field enjoy Summer Polo Saturdays from June thru September. Summer 2022 is already shaping up to be another beautiful polo season!

Whether you have never seen polo before or played for several years, the Ocala Polo Club has something to offer you. From a Sunday tailgate, to your first lesson, to tournaments, you can find everything you are looking for. We look forward to playing in sunny central Florida for many years to come and invite you to come join the fun!
