Testimonials:

June 2004 -

“I absolutely love this product! I used to have to water my sawdust every single day to keep the dust down, and I couldn’t find anything natural that I was comfortable using. TROTTER Dust Controller is absolutely wonderful. Since I put TROTTER into my indoor riding arena, I have not watered for 10 days and counting. I have some horses with heaves and they have not been able to go into the arena for 8 months. I’m happy to say they are back in the arena with no problems. I would recommend this product to anyone. It works and it’s affordable.”

In May 2005 Joan purchased JBCTROTTER for her Dressage Arena.  During a follow-up call in early June she reported not being able to see any real difference.  I asked her to wait a few more weeks until the weather gets warmer as the spring had been quite wet.  In late June Joan called in to order an additional 1,000-lbs of JBCTROTTER for her new round pen.  When I delivered the 1,000-lbs to her I asked her what had changed from earlier in the year.   She said, “Well I’ll just let you see for yourself how wet the sand is staying now in the summer sun. The last time that the arena was watered was four days ago, before the long weekend and with the exception of the very top ¼ - ½ inch it is still very wet all the way through!”  She then went on to tell me, “Last year when I put the arena in I was watering the arena by hand and by the time I got from one end to the other the first end was already drying out. Now that I have the JBCTOTTER and a new watering system I water in the morning and the arena is wet all day long, even in this hot Calaveras County summer sun!”

“The JBCTROTTER is working quite well, I water it in the AM it stays moist most of the day even in the heat of the Sacramento Valley.  Unbelievably by the next morning without any additional water it is moist again on the surface.” 
Wayne Florence- Arbuckle, CA

"The day that the sand and the JBCTROTTER were installed we watered thoroughly. We then promptly left on a week-long vacation. When we returned after a week of 100-degree+ temperatures (typical summertime temperatures for Gilroy, CA) we were pleasantly surprised to find that although the top was dried-out there was plenty of moist sand just under the surface!”

"As for the arena it feels really good! Even my old thoroughbred mare, with lots of racing history, is performing the best I've seen in a long time."

 "The contractor that we used to install the arena, who has their own arena but does not have the JBCTROTTER installed in it, said that the moisture retention of the footing in our new arena was very good."

Julie Rogers - Gilroy, CA

“Thanks again for bringing the samples (of JBCTROTTER) out. It looks like it's going to work well.  I would like to schedule a time to come pick-up enough.

 October 2005 -

“I love the JBC Trotter product so far.  I would like to get one more 1000lb sack to do one long side rail.”

Christine DeMont - Rhodeshof, LLC, Riverbank, CA

 November 2005 -

The JBCTROTTER is keeping the arena noticeably moister.  The difference is like night and day and everyone that has ridden on it really loves the footing.”

Jerry, Ancient Oak Farm, Lexington, KY.
