Rick Triplett began Improvements Plus, Inc., in May of 1992, with the idea of providing personalized customer service to Northwest horse owners in arena construction and repair.
“for the horses, by a horseman”
Our business has evolved into a premium provider of equestrian arena products and services, including construction of top quality ALL WEATHER outdoor riding arena bases and surfaces and dust-free indoor arena footing solutions for all disciplines, as well as renovations to existing footings. We emphasize RETAIL SALES of our product line, and free support via telephone to our customers on installation and use of products purchased from us. Our personal services include facility consulting work for construction, renovation and amendment of existing riding arena bases and footings. Our arena consultation advisory services include guidance in selection of arena sites, facility access, sacrifice areas and confinement paddocks, and mud abatement and drainage correction information.
We are The ARENA REHAB SPECIALISTS ™.
We introduced the “German felt” footing additives to the Northwest some years back, and have continually re-evaluated quality and effectiveness as we work with this technology. We now import and sell our own blend of German felt under the Equi-Fleece ™ brand name. Arena Rehab Specialists is the Master Distributor for the Pacific Northwest for the BRYN products. We maintain stocks for retail sale to customers. We were the first arena footing specialist on the West Coast to offer the BRYN Flake magnesium chloride products for indoor arena dust control. We recommend this for indoor arena footings, as it is the best solution for arena dust suppression and moisture stabilization. BRYN is the safest, most effective dust control product available. BRYN has a cost saving benefit over the long run due to its longevity when compared to the polymers and co-polymers etc. We use the BRYN in our own arena due to its effectiveness, longevity and safety.
We sell and ship BRYN Flakes and Equi-Fleece to points all over the western US and Canada from our West Coast location near Monroe, Washington.
We can also offer commercial users BRYN in flake form in Super Sacks or 50-pound bags on pallets, or as brine in IBC tanks, for dust control and de-icing use. Contact us for commercial account orders.
