Design & Construction of Horse Facilities

These web pages include research-based information for planning and construction of well-designed equestrian facilities. Topics include those that are often not carefully considered in initial horse stable or riding arena design. These topics include ventilation, manure management, and safety via fire protection systems. A series of technical bulletins provide recommendations for facility features such as stall dimensions, and flooring materials, drainage, fence planning, and riding arena footing materials.

Architects, veterinarians, builders, and other professionals providing advice to equine enthusiasts can recommend this site to horse owners who are planning barn construction or redesign of agriculture buildings.

An emphasis is put on providing good air quality in the indoor environment, good stewardship of the outdoor environment, and layout for management efficiency. Links are provided to resources that have additional information on horse stable architecture and engineering.
