I really noticed that this year, specifically since I have been working my horses already this spring. It works great, but with the uneven depth of sand, the tires get stuck and I am sitting there with my wheel spinning.Īnd the footing has gotten really dusty. And I do have a nice arena dragger that I got on eBay for about $200.00. The footing is basically dirt with about 3 inches of sand. Not very big at all, and the narrow ends make it a challenge for turns. The original riding area I have is about 110 feet x 56 feet. But having everything at one time is well worth the $79.00 delivery charge, in my opinion. So we will have to rent a post hole digger, and have the fencing supplies delivered. I will be adding a long section of fencing that will match the rest of our vinyl post and rail fencing that we already have on three sides of what will be my official riding arena. I will not be starting from scratch, thankfully. And we brought in sand 2 years ago for the original area which was nice, but since originally putting it in, has gotten deep in spots, and dusty.Īnd every spring it seems I have some vision of grandeur that I want to do with our property, and this year I have decided I will have a ‘real’ riding arena! So I want to share with you building a riding arena on a budget. The original space I had was too narrow, and not large enough to incorporate some jumps for schooling. Since I have been taking professional riding lessons for the past two months, I have decided I need to increase the size of my riding arena.
