Kiser Arenas Expands Consulting Services and Launches Facilities Training Program

Kiser Arenas is proud to announce an exciting expansion of its consulting services and the launch of a specialized training program for fairgrounds and event facilities. This initiative reaffirms the company’s commitment to enhancing equine safety and performance while empowering facility operators with cutting-edge knowledge in footing management.

Founder Jim Kiser, widely recognized for his expertise and contributions to the Western performance horse industry, has been at the helm of Kiser Arenas’ innovative approach for decades. Recently, Kiser made the decision to scale back footing management at horse shows, focusing instead on providing in-depth consulting services and launching training programs. Footing management will now be offered only for premier events on a limited basis, allowing the company to prioritize its broader mission of enhancing arena safety and performance.

The new Facilities Training Program is a direct response to increased demand from fairgrounds, facilities and venues seeking expert guidance in footing management. The program is designed to equip operators with the knowledge and tools to maintain consistent footing for a wide range of events. Workshops are tailored to each venue, enabling staff to train together using their own equipment and arena. This eliminates the need to travel or learning in an unfamiliar setting with different tools, ensuring that operators gain practical, venue-specific expertise.

Kiser’s decision to pivot toward consulting and training reflects the company’s long-standing mission to ensure the highest standards of safety and performance across the equine industry. With an impressive track record that includes managing footing at world-class events and over $350 million in prize money awarded on Kiser-prepared arenas, the company is well-positioned to take this next step.

Kiser Arenas is a full-service equine arena company offering on-site consultations and footing training nationwide and a full line of arena products, including the Kiser Arena Drag, the Kiser Water Trailer, Priefert Horse Walkers, MacroAir Fans and more. The company has consulted and/or constructed arenas in 45 states and 11 countries.
