Indoor arenas, part two

I asked my readers to show me their indoor arenas.

On Tuesday, we peeked into several full sized places to ride.

Today, we're looking at their small scale counterparts.

Lara Heidkamp writes: Mine is basic, but was so easy to create and so fun to play with! Based on guidance from Aislinn Paskos, who is a genius.

Fabian Rodriguez' arena is similarly basic but effective. He explains: Only the beams are made of wood. The rest is printed paper.

Jackie Radwanski's arena is a little more involved. She says: I made one a couple of years ago, using foamboard, cardboard, printed paper, craft wood and working lights.

I did a lot of research beforehand and even went as far as finding full size plans to scale down.

I was going for more of an UK style arena but wanted it to be suitable for all breeds and definitely big enough for performance.

Here's the whole thing.

Last but certainly not least, here is Sofie Banister's homey space. She notes: This is the typical ‘shed’ style one sees across the UK, rather than the more fancy offerings.

And of course, the post that started it all - at least for me - Backdrop Building by Nichelle Jones.

Thank you, everyone, for sharing your words and photos. I think I am almost ready to start building this arena!
