Colorado Horse Arenas: Indoors and Outdoors

Custom-designed equestrian facilities with indoor and/or outdoor Colorado horse arenas are popular along the Front Range of the Colorado Rocky Mountains. From Denver ranches to Castle Rock horse properties, property owners install a wide variety of practice facilities including roping arenas, equestrian riding arenas, etc.

Designing Colorado Horse Arenas

Custom pole buildings are superior choices for indoor horse arenas. Outdoor arenas utilizing complementary materials add an attractive equestrian area to any property zoned for horses. Ideally, custom Colorado horse arenas sited on a parcels with existing buildings – small acreage properties to larger ranches complement architecture and color schemes.

The design team at Sapphire Construction, Inc. provides customers with very helpful electronic mockup tools to ensure decades of satisfaction. To play around with materials and color schemes, see the design page on our website. The available tools provide instant impressions. For example, click on the dark brown roof color and the medium brown siding. Add wainscoting. Then choose a rich blue for the doors. Alternatively, go for the grays and greens. Perhaps add white trim and white fencing on the arena.

Determining the Best Build Site

Of course, there are many steps to be taken before choosing colors for custom pole barns. The team at Sapphire Construction researches the legal requirements, construction requirements, and subdivision covenants, if necessary to determine all engineering restrictions.

The architectural team and property owners examine the lay of the land and the relationship between buildings, roads, and accesses. Professionals study the utility access, passive solar energy, and how rainwater flows on the properties. This information brings to the fore the very best options for placing indoor and outdoor horse arenas and horse barns.

Other Equine Considerations

The size of the facilities is determined by the uses and the number of horses to be boarded and/or trained. A private backyard arena will vary dramatically from commercial facilities. Perhaps more importantly, most property owners decide to add additional facilities under one roof. Colorado equestrian pole barns provide clear span and up to 90 feet. Anything from offices to residential areas to stalls, tack rooms, garages, and storage may be worked into the design.
