“When we’re building a course or designing a course, our priority is the safety of the horse. The footing is the most important part. We do everything we can to make the footing perfect. For the footing, we use Mirimichi Green [products], aeration, and a little fertilizer if we have to. We do our very best to make the footing firm and soft at the same time. We want it solid, but want it to have a little give [too]. We did the entire course with Mirimichi Green [products] about 4-5 years ago and you could tell the difference. And then we brought in Mirimichi Green’s team to treat the whole course. And you could still tell in May, after the Kentucky Three Day Event, where it had been treated. It was greener than the rest [of the course]. We don’t want hard footing and we don’t want really soft muddy footing. Even when it’s really wet here, the footing has held up really well. I try to protect the course as much as possible from the rain by aerating and using Mirimichi Green [products] because it allows the roots to go deeper and prevent compaction.”

FAQ

Questions From Equine Pros

Can’t find what you’re looking for? Call (910) 602-1681 or browse all FAQs.

Can it be used in footing and root zone mixes?

Yes. CarbonizPN can be incorporated into root zone mixes for arena, polo, derby, and cross-country footing, or used as a standalone maintenance product.

When should I treat paddocks?

Treat empty paddocks and pastures during rotation so the grass can heal, and apply more product in bare spots.

Is it safe around horses?

CarbonizPN is made from compost and USDA Certified Biobased biochar, and our soil amendments are sustainable, natural, and safe. Follow the label for re-entry and handling guidance.

Can I use it with my current program?

Yes. Mirimichi Green products are powerful enough to stand alone, and they are safe to use alongside fertilizers, fungicides, herbicides, and insecticides.

Where can I buy it?

From 1,400+ distributor branches nationwide (best for most pros), online in small quantities, or by the supersack pallet with freight quoted to your site.
