Riding Arena sizes

Bashful · 10-03-2005, 12:30 PM

I ride in an arena that is 70 X 100
seems small but I like the roof on it, its a cover all type of arena.
What sizes are out there that you ride in. I know bigger is better and would like to hear from those that ride in the smaller arena's and the problems they encounter if any.

umm that to me is pretty big our arens i only like 20x60

an i find the main problem is is when there are a few of you all schooling an you kinda want to jump but everyone is in the way

our indoor is 200x80 and the outdoor is like 100x60 no problems here!

Indoor is like 40X100 and outdoor is 300X150.. XDD

I would LOVE to have a bigger arena. Hopefully soon! Ours now is only about 30' X 50'. Swayze and I don't have any trouble walking and trotting in there, but when we work on cantering...he can cover the long side in like four strides then the short side in just a couple as well. I feel like we are doing a constant circle. The arena I trailer to and get lessons at is huge though. I'm not sure of the measurements, but I love it.

I don,t have my own arena but we make use of the showgrounds arena. All lovely soft sand and big enough to have rodeos in and FREE to use. Sometimes we have other people in it and you just need to be careful.

My ring is 100x200. That is a standard full-size jumping arena.

i_luv_moth · 10-03-2005, 04:02 PM

The one i school in is 60 X 20 and its fine for me because i'm the only one who uses it.

When we build one(if we ever do lol)it will be either 60X30 or 70X 30.
