In reply to Grace Shannon. A dressage arena is 20mx60m. Very nice size for a home arena and will accommodate some jumping. If you plan on hosting shows you may want to go bigger. The rider usually rides around the dressage arena and enters at A when the judge signals. I am going with 20mx60m, standard dressage, which is plenty of room to practice those 20 meter circles! I should be riding on it in a month or two!!

Inadequate drainage is the second most common mistake that people make when building an outdoor equine arena. Drainage pipes should have a consistent fall and be covered with a geotextile fabric, which allows water in but keeps silt and sand out. Your drainage system should extend outside of the arena surface.

This helped a lot I just need to get some more information! What size would be the best size for an arena for dressage and some jumping?

Arena sand is a great way to start cheap while holding off on footing and building on a budget. But what you may not know is you can’t approach bases the same way. Compacted bases are foundational to your backyard horse arena’s functionality, and your entire project will fall flat without a durable material.

Thanks for the tip that I should also include a drain in the design of a horse arena. Maybe it would be best to work with a horse arena construction service in order to make sure that its size and components would be adequate. My husband has always wanted to take care of horses but we would like to make sure that the accommodations are taken care of first.

My husband and I have been researching proper arena construction for a while, and I really appreciated all the information in this article! Especially in regards to footing substrate.

Choosing the correct composition for your arena footing is extremely important. Unfortunately, there are no exact, universal specifications or ratios that work for every arena. Since each arena is different, it’s up to you to decide how to proceed. However, there are specific materials that almost all arenas use to differing degrees.

It’s great that you mentioned that I should talk with a soil consultant when building a horse arena because they help me avoid drainage issues. My husband and I plan to have a covered horse arena built on our property next spring. I’ll keep this in mind and ask the contractor we’ll hire if they can recommend a soil consultant. Thank you!

“As we get into global warming and climate change, we are going to have some extremes in moisture,” Malmgren adds. I was all bout this article until that line. figure if easily led with this climate hoax maybe knowledge of arena a little mis guided also
