Flinders equestrian complex
Client/company
A boutique private use equestrian training centre located in Flinders, Victoria.
The brief
Our client required a full size competition dressage indoor arena that was safe for both rider and horse and provided protection from prevailing weather conditions. The complex needed to include an eight stall stable complex incorporating a tack room, wash down, feed room and tie ups. Ensuring the complex was fit for purpose and had room for future growth was a critical requirement.

Challenges and solutions
The design of the indoor arena was carefully considered so as not to inhibit neighbor's views. We liaised with our client to find the best functional and aesthetical result for their situation, being a curved roof.
Equinarail was installed around the indoor arena's perimeter to provide protection from potential safety hazards (i.e. structural columns) on the sides of the arena.
