Arena & Barn Construction
"Superior footing and stable design protect the horse's mind, joints, and future."
Handled by FutureTrack and co-founded by Michael Pollard and his father Jack Pollard, FutureTrack is the premier equestrian facility partner—delivering proprietary arena footing and turnkey custom barn construction installed at leading venues, private training estates, and championship showgrounds across the United States.
Why FutureTrack Proprietary Footing?
Footing is the direct interface between the horse and gravity. FutureTrack's proprietary footing formula delivers the exact resilience, shear strength, and concussion absorption that elite equestrians demand.
Orthopedic Joint Protection
Unlike ordinary sand that packs tight and generates destructive concussive shock waves through the coffin bone and fetlock, FutureTrack's proprietary footing creates an engineered matrix that absorbs kinetic energy while maintaining firm shear resistance.
Moisture Retention & Dust Reduction
FutureTrack proprietary footing binds moisture within the arena surface for less watering. The result is a clean, dust-free breathing environment that protects horse and rider respiratory health.
All-Weather Stability
Engineered to withstand heavy downpours, freeze-thaw cycles, and relentless sun. Installed over 100 times by Jack Pollard, this system resists rutting, eliminates slippery corners, and ensures confident takeoff strides.
Standard Sand vs. FutureTrack Footing
| Feature / Metric | Conventional Sand / Dirt | FutureTrack Proprietary Footing |
|---|---|---|
| Concussion Absorption | Low (Packs hard over time) | Optimal (Elastic rebound matrix) |
| Shear Strength (Turn Traction) | Unstable / Slippery when dry | Superior interlocking grip |
| Water Retention | Requires frequent heavy watering | Holds moisture; requires less watering |
| Dust Control | High dust prone | Virtually dust-free with routine dampening |
| Long-Term Consistency | Pulverizes into silt within 2-3 years | Proprietary engineered footing resists degradation |

Why FutureTrack Barn Construction?
The stable is the direct interface between the horse and daily living. FutureTrack's custom barn construction delivers the exact ventilation, safety, and resilience elite equestrians demand.
Orthopedic Joint Protection
Unlike standard concrete stalls that cause cumulative joint stress and capped hocks, our seamless padded flooring systems and interlocking rubber paver aisles absorb concussion while providing secure, non-slip footing.
Microclimate & Clean Air
Engineered high-ceiling envelopes, cupolas, and continuous ridge ventilation create passive chimney airflow. The result is rapid ammonia and dust evacuation that protects horse and rider respiratory health.
All-Weather Stability
Engineered to withstand severe weather, temperature extremes, and daily equine wear. Built with heavy timber framing and galvanized steel reinforcement, this system resists wear, eliminates hazards, and ensures lasting durability.
Our Turnkey Construction Process
From empty pasture to completed complex, FutureTrack manages every phase—combining Jack Pollard's decades of engineering and Michael Pollard's international equestrian expertise.
