How Big Should Your Indoor Horse Riding Arena in Colorado Be?

We can build arenas of any size, so the question you need to ask yourself is what size would be most suitable? Industry experts agree that the ideal arena should be 60’ in width with interior heights of between 16’ and 18’ from ground to peak. One of the most important factors in an arena is a clear span, i.e., no beams or posts inside the arena. 80’ x 200’ and 60’ x 120’ are the two most common sizes of indoor riding arena in Colorado. Doorways should be around 14’ high to make way for horses and riders, and the ideal width of the door is around 14’.

The Key Features of an Indoor Riding Arena Design in Colorado

Indoor riding arenas generally include the following standard features:

Cupolas

Cupolas create adequate ventilation and also make the arena look good.

Sliding doors

Our sliding doors are high and wide enough to allow horse and rider to pass through with ease.

Protection from snow and rain

Our Arena designs protect high-traffic areas from water and snow and minimize the risk of developing deep, swampy holes.

A rider guard

We offer rider guards to keep horses’ hooves and riders’ knees and stirrups clear of the interior walls. A guard also helps to complete the look of the arena’s interior.

Side Lights

Side lights bring more natural light into the riding arena. They are easy to install and less expensive than skylights. We can design them to accommodate up to two times the size of a normal skylight and also bring twice the amount of natural light.

Vapor Barrier

Keeping the roof insulated will improve the aesthetics of the arena, minimize noise and condensation and prevent the hothouse effect.

Wainscoting

While not a structural component, wainscoting can enhance the arena’s aesthetics. It is added halfway up the indoor horse arena, and the rest of the wall can then be painted in the color of your choice.

Indoor Riding Arena FAQ

Indoor riding arenas are large, enclosed structures designed for horseback riding and equestrian training, providing a controlled environment regardless of weather conditions.

The size depends on your needs, such as riding disciplines and the number of riders. Common sizes range from 60×120 feet for basic riding to 80×200 feet for advanced activities. We can help determine the ideal size for you.

Proper insulation like spray foam or fiberglass batts is recommended to control temperature and prevent condensation. This ensures a comfortable environment for both horses and riders.

Maintenance includes regular checks of structural components, roof, and siding. The riding surface should be maintained with regular dragging and dust control. Our arenas are designed for durability to minimize upkeep.

Building permits and adherence to local zoning regulations are typically required. Restrictions may apply to building size, height, and placement. We assist in navigating the complex permitting process to ensure compliance as each county has their own set of rules and regulations.

Construction timelines vary based on size and complexity but generally take several weeks to a few months. We strive to deliver your project on schedule.

We offer fully customizable arenas, including options for size, roof style, siding materials, insulation, lighting, ventilation, and additional features like attached stables or viewing areas.

Built with high-quality materials, our arenas are designed to withstand the elements and demands of equestrian activities. With proper maintenance they provide a safe environment for 40-60 years with the potential of 100 or more years!
