DESIGN AND BUILD OF HORSE WALKERS

Bespoke Horse Walkers, Designed for Daily Use

Total Equestrian Construction supplies and builds custom horse walkers, lunge pens, and round pens tailored to your size, surface, and fencing requirements.

We offer expert advice on every element of the design, from fencing types such as post and rail or fully enclosed timber boarding, to optional roof structures for all-weather use.

Our in-house team ensures a durable, safe, and horse-friendly build using shock-absorbent surfaces that withstand heavy, year-round use.

During your consultation, we'll help identify the best setup for your space, routine, and horses' needs, ensuring safety, performance, and long-term reliability.

WHY CHOOSE US FOR YOUR HORSE WALKERS?

Tailored Designs for Walkers, Pens and Lunging

Whether you need a horse walker for daily exercise and rehabilitation, a lunge pen or a round pen for schooling, we design each one around your horses and your routine. Most walkers fall between 50 and 72 feet in diameter, and we can plan larger builds where you need them. We've built everything from standalone pens to six-horse walkers alongside full competition yards.

Safe, Shock-Absorbent Walker Surfaces

A walker gets heavy, repetitive use, so the surface underfoot matters. We lay shock-absorbent surfaces that cushion every stride, stay consistent in all weathers and stand up to year-round wear. Each one sits on a properly prepared, well-drained base, so it stays level and safe for years to come.

Custom Fencing Options to Suit Your Setup

Choose from post and rail, fully enclosed timber boarding or galvanised mesh with solid kickboards, depending on how your horses work and what suits your yard. Every option is built for safety first, with smooth finishes and solid lower panels that protect legs and keep horses focused.

Expert Walker Site Planning and Consultation

Every project starts with a free site visit. We'll help you choose the best position and size for your walker or pen, assess levels and drainage, and advise whether planning permission is likely to be needed. Our own team then prepares the groundwork and concrete base, so the build starts on a solid, level foundation.

All-Weather Roof Structures Available

Add a roof to your walker and you can keep horses exercising whatever the weather. A covered walker keeps the surface drier, protects horses from rain and sun, and makes the most of your investment through the winter months. We'll design the roof to suit the size and fencing of your walker.

Dedicated In-House Team with Horse-Friendly Equipment

All of our staff are directly employed and come from equestrian or agricultural backgrounds. We own all of our plant, machinery and transport, so once we start on site we work continuously through to completion. Our team understands horses too, and will pause machinery whenever needed so we never spook the horses on your yard.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

You will tend to need planning permission when:

  • You're making significant changes to land with the walker
  • The walkers are for uses other than private, which tends to be the case when they're used for livery, riding schools, or breeding
  • Horse walkers are built on agricultural land
  • Structures are built to be permanent, as with brick-built or timber-framed on concrete bases


If your land is currently classified as agricultural, using it for horse walking (even when it's for personal use) is considered a material change of use and so this will require planning permission.

When used correctly, walkers can be highly beneficial to horses, offering controlled exercise for improved muscle and cardiovascular health, These are not a substitute for natural riding or turnout and should be used with the best surface quality and take into account the horse's temperament.

Horse walkers do need foundations in the initial stages of construction to prevent them from sinking into the ground as weather changes. Foundations are important to build first, as weather fluctuates throughout the year and can disrupt walkers if they're not built properly.

The standard diameter for a horse walker ranges from 50 to 72 feet. There are sometimes requests for larger walkers which we can accommodate and plan out in the initial stages of a site evaluation.
