Indoor Horse Arenas & Equestrian Buildings

The most popular size we build is 60x120 feet, which gives you enough room for flatwork, lunging, and general riding without overbuilding your budget. That said, the right size depends on your discipline, number of horses, and whether you plan to add stalls or storage. We'll help you think through all of it before you commit to a size.

We typically recommend 16–18 feet of eave height for riding arenas. This gives you comfortable clearance for jumping, roping, and working with horses without feeling cramped. It also allows for better airflow and natural light options throughout the building.

Cost is the number one question we get — and honestly, it depends on size, features, and site conditions. A basic 60x120 arena will be priced differently than one with stalls, a tack room, or significant site prep requirements. The best way to get a real number is to request a free estimate so we can assess your specific property and goals with no obligation.

Footing is typically handled separately from the building structure — it's specialized work that depends on your discipline, soil conditions, and drainage. What we do is build the structure to the right specs so your footing contractor has a proper base to work with. We're happy to talk through what to look for when planning your footing so you go into that conversation prepared.

Absolutely. Many of our customers start with the core arena structure and add on later as their needs and budget grow. Whether you want to plan for future stalls now or include a tack room from day one, we design with flexibility in mind so your building can grow with you.

Yes — we manage the permitting process for projects in both Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho. We handle the engineering submissions and code requirements so you don't have to navigate that on your own. It's one less thing to worry about during your build.

Most arena builds run 10–14 weeks from breaking ground to your first ride. That window can shift depending on site prep, weather, and permit timing — but we give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you informed every step of the way.
