Thermal, Calif. – February 10, 2026 – Premier Equestrian is proud to sponsor Desert Circuit 6 (February 10–15) at Desert International Horse Park, reinforcing its commitment to innovation, performance and sustainability in equestrian sport.
During Desert Circuit 6, riders and spectators alike will experience world-class footing in both the Grand Prix Stadium and the Grand Prix Warm-Up Arena, each equipped with Premier Equestrian’s Arion® Ebb & Flow System. This state-of-the-art subsurface irrigation technology delivers precise, consistent hydration across every square inch of the riding surface—ensuring optimal footing conditions for elite competition.

The Arion® Ebb & Flow system represents a major advancement in arena management, using up to 70% less water than traditional overhead watering methods. By hydrating the arena evenly from the ground up, the system eliminates dry spots, reduces dust and minimizes surface disruption—resulting in safer, more consistent footing for horses and riders while significantly reducing water consumption. In the event of a significant rainstorm, the Arion® Ebb & Flow system will also evacuate excess water, helping arenas recover quickly after heavy rainfall. A computerized control system continuously monitors moisture levels, precisely adding or removing water to maintain ideal hydration conditions at all times.
In addition to advanced moisture management, DIHP arenas feature Premier ProTex™ footing, creating a reliable and safe riding surface for competition and daily training alike. The added stability of Premier ProTex helps horses perform at their peak, supporting confidence, consistency and soundness. Show participants have been extremely pleased with the quality and performance of the surfaces at Desert International Horse Park.
Premier Equestrian’s All Purpose Fiber Footing was strategically installed in the Grass Field at Desert International Horse Park prior to the sod being laid. The unique fiber composition creates a perfect nest for roots to adhere to. As the roots entangle themselves around the fibers, they are nourished with additional moisture, providing more strength to the root zone and enabling the surface to resist digging up. This exceptional performance is a testament to Premier Equestrian’s commitment to delivering high-quality arena solutions that can withstand the demands of elite-level equestrian events.
Premier Equestrian has been providing footing, dressage arena products and jumps at Desert International Horse Park for more than five years, supporting the venue’s growth into a world-class equestrian destination. Today, DIHP stands as a premier equestrian facility and is widely regarded as one of the finest in the country.
