Risohorse

Dammann Reit- und Sportplatzbau GmbH develops and builds Risohorse® Ebb-and-Flow riding surfaces for equestrian sports. Introduced in 1998, the system is designed to maintain consistent moisture and dependable grip while using water efficiently. Its automated supply system delivers water from below as needed, while the surface layers support drainage, stability, elasticity, and water permeability. The company says these consistent conditions can help reduce strain on horses’ joints, ligaments, and tendons, while also limiting maintenance and extending the surface’s service life. Excess water can be stored, recycled, or put to other uses.

Dammann provides project support from initial consultation and planning through construction and post-completion service. Its work includes riding-surface projects in Germany and internationally, with examples and references featured on its website. The company was founded by Klaus Dammann and is now led by his daughter, Ilka Tigges, together with Janusz Wiechecki and an experienced specialist team. Building on decades of equestrian arena construction experience, Dammann emphasizes precision, reliability, innovation, and sustainable solutions for its clients.
