    Indoor Horse Arenas

Custom designed indoor horse arenas

At Total Equestrian Construction we have years of experience building high quality commercial and private indoor horse arenas. We can advise you on every aspect of the build, from location and drainage, through-to access, and landscaping – all work is carried out by our own experienced workforce.

We also convert existing buildings into indoor equestrian arenas, if this is preferable. Total Equestrian Construction have a choice of indoor arena surface types to offer: silica sand, fibre and rubber surfaces, or even a waxed surface - and we are happy to advise on these.

The perfect indoor riding environment

Our indoor arenas are built to create a light, airy and modern riding environment, with sizes according to your budget and/or use.

There are many benefits to having an indoor arena: You are not affected by the weather conditions enabling you to continue the training of your horses throughout the year; an indoor arena provides a quieter; a more relaxed, private atmosphere for the horses. They can also perhaps provide other revenue streams for you when hired to other parties.

Extras for your arena provided by our TOTAL service include lighting, training mirrors, viewing galleries and sound systems.

Techniques
A tried and tested method is used to build an indoor arena: Site identification and planning permission are the first steps. Next, a suitable sub-stratum is created by removing the topsoil. Stanchions are then set in place by digging foundations and pouring concrete. Geotextile membranes are laid and covered with crushed concrete or stone, depending on the type of ground.
Then the sub-base is rolled to form a level base that will eventually take the new surface. Fibre cement sheets are typically used for roof structures with 15-20% clear Perspex sheets, although where the budget permits, composite roofs will be used; the aim with this is to maximise natural light.

Dimensions
An indoor arena is typically constructed using a steel-frame building that can be manufactured in any size. Dressage arenas typically measure 60 meters by 20 meters, or 40 meters by 20 meters. Jumping arenas are typically wider than dressage arenas.
