Irrigation System
A KRAFT irrigation system is recommended if the footing materials are organic in nature.
Dust is unpleasant for both rider and horse and can lead to health problems.
Footing materials should be consistently damp in order to ensure an ideal consistency for training horses.
All irrigation systems are specially designed for KRAFT Horse Walkers.
Characteristics:
The KRAFT irrigation system is long lasting and easy to use. The system was custom developed for KRAFT Horse Walkers and KRAFT covered lunging pens.
Technical Data:
3/4" water supply
A freeze proof water hydrant must be provided near the entrance of the horse walker or lunging pen by the client. Water lines must be drained in the winter.
Walk surface
The irrigation sprinkler is mounted to one hanging or rotating gate.
Walking surface and lunging ring
Water lines divide in the center. One side irrigates the walking surface with one sprinkler, the other side irrigates
the lunging ring with two to three sprinklers.
Irrigation of the lunging surface from the ceiling
A 360 degree sprinkler is mounted to the ceiling with a range of up to 30' (9 m).
Oval Horse Walker
The outer fence is equipped with steel or PVC pipes. Sprinklers are attached every 6.5' to 10' (2 – 3m) and irrigate
the walking surface.
