or have other locations on your property that are better suited for the ring.
As with any farm building, high and dry is the ideal location for your indoor riding ring. This is a basic 80×200 foot structure, large enough to house an indoor riding arena. SIZE The best size for your arena will depend on how many horses will be using it at once and what sort of riding you’ll be doing. According to the Certified Horsemanship Association (CHA), a standard competition arena is 100×200 feet. That is large enough for jump courses and most riding activities. As a baseline, CHA recommends 32 linear feet of rail per horse. For 10 horses, that means a 60×100-foot arena. That would be a minimum size appropriate for beginning riders, who do better in smaller spaces. Advanced riders will need more room.
