I need one!

I am blown away with the quality, engineering, and thought that went into this drag. This drag is far superior than anything i have seen. Also just as impressive was the amazing customer attention and support that was given is second to none.

I got to experience the Elite Equipment drag last month while riding in Andrea Fappani’s symposium, and I was blown away! Dressage horses need their footing to be a bit different than western horses, and the drag was able to adjust the footing from one session to another with ease. Jesse was able to switch from the footing my mare needed to the footing Andrea’s horses needed and then change it again to the footing a cutting horse needed with ease. A good drag is one of the most important tools we need for the success and longevity of our horses’ careers, and the Elite Equipment drag is definitely one of the best I’ve gotten to experience

Smoking Roosters and Huss Performance Horses jumped on board and simplified their lives by upgrading to an Elite Equipment Drag. Dan was amazed how simple it is to go between their two arenas. Getting consistent footing across multiple arenas was a top priority for Andrea Fappani and Jesse Boyd during the design process. Now, it’s never been easier—our drag takes the guesswork out of having great ground in any arena. You won’t need an engineering degree to adjust it. Just hook up and go!

Consistent ground shouldn’t have to be complicated.

Elite Equipment’s innovative drag design makes it easy to create consistent footing, giving you dependable ground—no matter the operator—day in and day out. A key design aspect of our drag is it is specifically balanced to create smooth, line-free footing, making sure every part of your arena gets the same consistent treatment. Having consistent ground is mandatory to keep your horses safe, sound, and build confidence.

With Elite Equipment, you can always count on…

RELIABLE FOOTING: We can’t stress enough how important it is to start with a solid foundation—especially one tailored to your discipline. A proper base and quality footing set the stage for every ride. That’s why our industry-first walking beam suspension is designed to eliminate inconsistent depths, adding stability and keeping the drag firmly on the ground where it belongs. How often have you seen an arena drag bouncing through the footing, leaving uneven results? With Elite Equipment, those days are over.

SIMPLISTIC OPERATION: No need to call Jesse or your closest expert to get your arenas in shape. Our innovative spacer design eliminates the dreaded donut spacers and takes the guesswork out of controlling your arena depth. With spacers all the same size, the adjustment process will be quick and simple, and you’ll never have to wonder if the ground will feel the same as the day before again.

DURABILITY: We wanted to create a drag that is built to withstand the test of time, minimizing downtime and costly repairs. Our custom profile blade material is designed to last longer, while our fully engineered frame removes any weak points that users have seen in the past. We added wall rollers to prevent the drag from scraping or catching on walls and fences. So when the operator accidentally side swipes the fence, your drag and fence will not be damaged, trust us we put it to the test! Your investment is more economical to maintain than ever before and something you can pass to future generations.
