Why does Tuff Stuff work?
Tuff Stuff Performance Fiber Footing offers numerous advantages for arena performance and footing consistency:

- Hydrophilic properties allow for rapid wet-out, improved moisture retention, and reduced dust
- Highly durable and resistant to breakdown, providing a long service life
- Manufactured as small nonwoven felt chips for even distribution throughout the footing
- Made from FDA-compliant materials
- Versatile, high-performing, cost-effective, and convenient to use
- Competitively priced compared to other footing products

A Better Alternative
Not all footing additives are created equal. Rubber additives can create unsightly black dust, while carpet remnants are often unsuitable for riding arenas. They can appear messy, become entangled in horseshoes, and contribute to an uneven or lumpy riding surface that may increase the risk of injury.
Tuff Stuff Performance Fiber Footing provides a cleaner, more consistent, and more professional footing solution—helping create an arena surface that both horses and riders can trust.
What are Nonwovens?
Technically, nonwoven fabric is defined by what it is not—it is neither woven nor knitted. Instead, nonwovens are engineered fabrics created by bonding fibers together mechanically, thermally, chemically, or through a combination of these processes.
Nonwovens are part of everyday life, often without you even realizing it. They can be found in countless household and consumer products, including cleaning wipes, Swiffer® products, and diapers. They are also widely used in the hygiene and medical industries, as well as in geotextiles and agricultural applications, such as landscaping fabrics, crop covers, erosion-control barriers—and, of course, arena footing additives.
Sustainable by Design
Tuff Stuff Performance Fiber Footing is manufactured from high-quality nonwoven fabric that has been repurposed from the food industry. By choosing Tuff Stuff, you are not only investing in superior arena performance, but also supporting a sustainable solution that gives valuable materials a second life.
