About the Project
The aim of the project was to create a safe, comfortable, and weather-resistant space for horses and riders.

They wanted an arena that could provide a safe, sheltered environment for young riders and horses in training. With a modest budget, they were looking for a durable, low-maintenance solution that would add long-term value to their property while reflecting their passion for horses.
