The new concrete block barn measures 64 feet wide, 48 feet
long and is attached to the 80 foot wide, 152 foot long indoor riding
arena. The barn has 11 stalls, wash stall, feed room, and tack room, as
well as a full hay loft complete with the indoor riding arena observation
room. Having had horses since 1961, I knew I also needed sunken stalls
with rubber mats, concrete aisleways and room floors, Nelson automatic waterers
and a fly spray system. The stalls on the sides had to open into individual
paddocks. This property had a small 5 stall horse barn, which we now use
as a workshop and for storage.

The barn has 9 stalls and 2 more can
be added, using the indoor arena storage area. Each stall has galvalume
bar fronts and feed boxes, rubber mats, and Nelson waterers. The feed room
has stairs to the loft, and the loft has a small observation room overlooking
the indoor arena. The wash stall and grooming aisle have rubber mats,
also. |

| The indoor riding arena has 3-16 ft. exterior sliding
doors and 2-10 ft. roll up doors to the stable area, so is well ventilated.
The ceiling height is 16 ft. with a 12 ft solid section topped with
4 ft lexan windows on the 3 exterior sides, giving good light during the
day. The 18 overhead lights, making night riding bright and safe.
We put a layer of a stone dust on top of the shale & clay natural footing and then topped that with 2 inches of rubber footing. With the toe rail, the arena has make a wonderful training and riding area. |
