Fibers began being used in Europe almost 20 years ago and slowly gained acceptance. At this point the Olympics, World Cup and many other professional venues use fiber and sand arenas. Footings Unlimited brought fibers to the US about 10 years ago and they quickly found a following among riders who had experienced them in Europe. In the US they are sold under the names of Euro Felt, Lightfoot, Travatex and PLM

Most Hunter Jumper and Dressage riders are very happy with them. They have gotten mixed reviews in the Western World with more negatives then positives.
