Performance Horse Arena Construction
15+ Years Building Arenas. That's All We Do.
Our arena construction team is led by Brenden, who has spent over 15 years doing one thing: building horse arenas. Not barns. Not fencing. Not general excavation. Just arenas.
That singular focus means we've seen every footing problem, worked with every discipline, and consulted and built in every climate across the country and beyond. Your arena is built right — from the base up.
Common Horse Arena Problems We Solve
You know the feeling. The footing that was supposed to be perfect isn't. Maybe it's:
Dust
Clouds billow every ride, coating lungs and tack
Standing water
Days of lost riding after every rain
Uneven footing
Deep on the rail, hard-packed in the middle
Wrong for your discipline
Wrong for your discipline
Base coming through
Rocks and aggregate working up into your footing
Inconsistent feel
Never the same ride twice
These aren't problems you should live with. They're problems we fix.
Our Horse Arena Construction Process
1. We Listen First
Every arena is different. We start by understanding yours: what you ride, what's not working, what you've tried, and what you're hoping to achieve. No generic recommendations.
2. We Build to Precision
Our laser-guided equipment ensures your arena is graded to exact specifications — proper slope for drainage, consistent depth across the entire surface, no high spots or low spots. This is the difference between an arena that works and one that almost works.
3. We Give You Options
We assess your drainage patterns, base condition, and climate. We run sieve analysis to ensure your sand has the proper makeup and depth. Then we recommend solutions — including our own natural footing additives that address dust, compaction, or looseness — so you can often fix problems without rebuilding the entire arena. We recommend based on your discipline, geography, usage, and budget. You decide what's right for you.
