Outdoor riding arenas for different riding styles
Our outdoor riding arenas are designed for your location and unique requirements. For example, our dressage areas are built to have a flat, even surface that provides good traction to ensure horses can perform precise movements without slipping or sliding. We can create outdoor arenas for show jumping to accommodate the jumps and provide a consistent, cushioned surface that absorbs the impact of the horse landing. We can also construct eventing arenas designed to be versatile and general riding areas to encompass all styles of riding that are not discipline-specific for various activities, including trotting, cantering, and jumping.
Our arena build is tailored to your budget and specific project, whether you are working on a stand-alone project, extending a current area or building a new equestrian facility.
Building an outdoor riding arena
As experienced equestrian builders, our team understands the challenges of constructing an outdoor riding arena that can withstand the UK’s ever-changing weather. An outdoor riding arena is constantly exposed to the elements, so it is essential to use high-quality materials to ensure longevity and durability. Your outdoor riding area will be exposed to rain, wind, and even snow, so choosing a riding arena that can withstand these conditions is essential.
At National Equine Developments, we can assist you in selecting the ideal materials for your arena’s construction, considering factors such as water drainage and stability to ensure that your arena remains usable even during adverse weather conditions.
We can assist you with every aspect of your area build, from construction to surfaces. We know that your outdoor riding surface is just as essential as the groundwork; working with Sportrack Surfaces Ltd, we can advise you on the ideal surface suitable for your outdoor riding arena based on its intended use, as different riding styles require different surface types from pre-mixed waxed right through to synthetic surface additives such as fibre and rubber.

Essential addition
Lunge Pens
Our riding arena builders know lunge pens are an essential addition to any equestrian facility, allowing your horse to exercise and move freely in a confined space and providing a safe area for training and exercising your horses.
Building a lunge pen
When constructing a lunge pen, specific considerations, such as drainage and surface options, must be considered. The surface of the lunge pen must be able to handle the weight of the horse and the force of its movement. The surface must also provide good traction to prevent the horse from slipping or injuring itself or the rider. Regarding drainage, your system must also be carefully planned and installed to ensure the lunge pen remains dry and safe during rainy weather.
