Horse Arena Construction and Installation FAQs
How long does it take to build a horse arena?
Horse arena construction is a big investment that, when done correctly, can enhance your facility, improve equine health, and become a revenue generator. It takes around 6 to 13 months of planning and construction to provide these benefits. This time period includes determining the best location, locating water and electricity sources, ensuring access to heavy construction equipment, and more. Once planning is done, actual equine arena construction takes 2 to 4 weeks.
What should the base of my horse arena be?
The base and sub-base of your arena are crucial for drainage, consistency, and longevity. Depending on your needs and budget, Premier Equestrian offers four footing base construction techniques: a compacted stone base, a free draining base, OTTO sport arena mats, or an Arion ebb & flow arena.

How big should my riding arena be?
The size of your horse arena should be determined by the riding disciplines practiced in the arena. Some of the more common arena sizes include:
- 20m x 40 m (66ft x 132ft) or the size of a small dressage arena for flat work exercises and a few horses
- 20m x 60m (66ft x 198ft) or the size of a large dressage arena for ranked shows or group lessons
- 30m x 60m (100ft x 200ft) or the size of a standard jumper arena for hunter/jumper disciplines
- 28,000sqft or more for high-level jumping competitions and partitioned arenas
Where should I build my horse arena?
The future location is the most critical and complex decision for riding arena construction. It involves several factors. You may not be able to meet all the following suggestions, but they will impact the cost and feasibility of your future arena:
- Look for a spot of relatively flat land with a drainage outlet to lower excavation and drainage costs.
- Find a spot you can access by a paved or gravel road that can support heavy construction equipment.
- Look for a location near the barn, stables, electricity outlets, and water sources needed for daily maintenance and functionality.
