For those who race, FusionTrac® is the New Innovation in Race Track Surfaces from ESI's sister company FusionTrac; we have taken a “back to the basics” approach to the Racing Surfaces with a blend of  the Highest  Quality Natural Dirt and our specialty crafted Geotextiles that fuses the sand  to  a perfect running surface, creating  an incredible surface for racing: A classic dirt track with the benefits of today’s technology; a track that is easier and safer on horses than conventional Dirt and Synthetic Tracks.

FusionTrac is a safe racing surface for horses and riders providing impact resistance and therefore decreasing injuries, with minimal kickback and the perfect cushion for your horses. One of the biggest benefits of FusionTrac is the financial savings you will see after installing the footing, when properly maintained.

In addition our all weather track means never canceling a race or training session due to inclement weather. With FusionTrac advance drainage system we are able to control the amount of water drained by creating a separation layer. This allows the water to pool far beneath the surface of the footing, distributing the water equally and draining properly.

Race Track Too Soft

Surface stretches the horse's ligaments and can result in pulling muscles or can even cause strain on the joints leading to Osteoarthritis.

• Ground Deforms Too Much

Extra Strain on the Joints
Over Stretching of the Ligaments
Grip During Take-off & Landing

• Potential Effect

Osteoarthritis - Degeneration of Joint Cartilage
Pulled Muscles

Race Track Too Hard

The surface absorbs no Energy and it intensifies the vibration through the horse's legs, this can lead to Traumatic Desmitis or even Lameness.

• Ground Deforms Too Little

Increases Stress on the Tendons
Footing Absorbs No Energy
Intensifies Vibrations through the Legs

• Potential Effect

Irreversible Traumatism
Desmitis in the Suspensory Ligament
Lameness

Cons of Synthetic Race Track Footing:
 

• React radically to rain, humidity and temperature shifts as well as how much use they get .
• More sensitive to track maintenance than any other track .
• Higher number of Catastrophic Injuries.
• Significant variability between tracks.
• It is not and all wheater surface.
• Degradation of Components.
