We are thrilled with the final results of our recent arena collaboration with GGT Footing recently completed at Fredericks Equestrian in Ocala, Florida. We were able to visit Clayton’s facility this week to watch Clayton riding and teaching on his new Wordley Martin arena. There was a bit of rain in the morning, but the surface absorbed the moisture perfectly and Clayton’s clients were impressed with ride-ability on the surface.
Please enjoy our recent press release and photo album below!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
FREDERICKS EQUESTRIAN INTERNATIONAL GETS WORLD CLASS ARENA
IN PARTNERSHIP WITH GGT FOOTING AND WORDLEY MARTIN EQUESTRIAN
DATE 1-26-2015 – SPARTANBURG, S.C.
Wellington based Wordley Martin Equestrian, who provides arena architecture, construction and footing products, has recently partnered with GGT Footing to install a custom blend of footing for Olympian Clayton Fredericks. Australian born Fredericks, who has represented his native country at multiple Olympics and FEI level competitions, is the current Canadian Eventing Team coach and operates his international level training facility in the active horse community of Ocala, Florida.
Fredericks, working together with Cynthia Brewster-Keating from GGT Footing and Craig Martin of Wordley Martin Equestrian, created a custom blend of Textiles to be blended and installed in Clayton’s new arena. Designed to meet the high impact needs of Clayton’s dressage and eventing sport horses, GGT Footing incorporated elastic fibers into the blend to provide the extra spring that so many dressage and eventing riders like in their footing. Wordley Martin Equestrian was engaged to design and construct the ring base and install the GGT footing due to their expertise within the arena construction industry.
