Our Arena
The arena measures 140′x74′. The arena surface contains a mixture of masonry sand and Lightfoot arena footing. Lightfoot arena footing consists of shredded Nike shoe uppers. This product provides cushion and stability to horses and the fiber holds moisture, thereby reducing dust. The arena is surrounded by a slanted barrier, which restricts horses from walking closely to the sides of the arena and potentially rubbing a rider’s leg against hard wood. Movable panels around the perimeter of the arena provide abundant natural lighting and ventilation.
Our Barn
The barn was designed to have 10 large, 12′x12′, comfortable stalls. Every stall has its own fan, heated buckets and vent door to the outside that allows fresh air to circulate and natural light to enter. The stall floors have rubber mats to prevent waste from seeping into the ground below and are bedded with sawdust daily.
There are two wash stalls that double as grooming areas, providing ample space for brushing, tacking, clipping and washing horses. There is one grooming stall that includes backlighting for farriers. All wash and grooming stalls have rubber mats over the concrete flooring.
A lighted 100’ x 200’ outdoor arena provides a large area that can be divided for multiple groups of students or used in its entirety for more advanced students. The outdoor area contains masonry sand and Airfoot arena footing. Airfoot consists of shredded Nike shoe soles and uppers, providing cushioning to horses and side walkers and moisture retention to control dust.
