RIDING ARENAS

Horses are active animals that need daily exercise to stay happy and healthy. While grazing is one of the best exercises for them, riding is another great workout that benefits both horses and riders. With an all-seasons covered riding arena, horse owners can enjoy training their horses and practicing their riding skills all-year-round in a beautiful structure made just for them. Whether you’re looking to build an indoor arena for personal use or for horseback riding lessons, our experienced designers will help you design a covered riding arena that meets all your equestrian needs.

DETERMINING THE RIGHT FOOTING FOR YOUR ARENA

One of the most important parts of designing a covered riding arena is determining what type of footing material is best for your build. While seemingly an easy decision, poor arena footing can lead to increased risk of injury and long-term health problems for your horses, which is why it’s essential to consider a variety of factors before making your final selection. Before evaluating your options, ask yourself what kind of maintenance your footing will require, if the footing makes sense for its intended use, and if it can be combined with other footing materials to achieve its desired effect. Some of the most common materials for arena footing are made from clay, sand or wax-coated sand, and wood products or natural and synthetic fibers—with wax-coated surfaces being the closest alternative to turf. Depending on your location and equestrian discipline, you’ll also want to consider arena footing that you can easily maintain with frequent activity and weather changes.
