The sand riding arena
The sand riding arena is surrounded by shade trees. The design is visually open with a six inch wooden border that rises to a 3 foot wall on the North side. It is the standard competitive arena size: 20x60 meters. It has good drainage and sturdy traffic areas to and from. High quality outdoor speakers provide music. Surefoot rubber was added to enhance the arena. The short side at C is a wall of mirrors which is a very effective training tool.
Pastures and paddocks have shade and shelter.
A seven acre lake provides ambience and wildlife.
Cavaletti, jumps, fields, hills and ditches are regularly employed in training of all the horses.
