How big should your riding arena 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 arenas. Doorways should be around 14’ high to make way for horse and rider, and the ideal width of the door is around 14’.

The key features of indoor riding arena designs

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.
