Riding Arena
Ground Work and Drainage
Leyton and his team are very knowledgeable and understand what it is like to own and work with horses. They came out on numerous occasions to discuss ideas and strategies of ways in which we could install our arena giving us ideas to submit for planning and the best use of materials to enable us to keep the costs down. Leyton and his team efficiently began work on the cut and fill for the arena promptly starting and working long days to make sure the work was carried out by the deadline. Leyton sourced us all the materials needed for the construction of the arena and he communicated daily to keep us in the loop with progress at each stage of the production. His team managed to help us level part of the field with the soil taken from the cut and fill so that costs were kept to a minimal and his knowledge of drainage helped, as it improved the stability as in previous years the field was always very wet. Nothing is too big or too small a few months after the arena was built we had the team back to help us move a bank of soil previously there before we purchased the property and used their knowledge to level and cut an area near the stables for a hard standing to enable us to create winter turnout paddocks again Leyton discussing materials and ways and means that this could be carried out. I would highly recommend using Shillibiers to construct your arena; ours has now been up a whole year and we have not had any issues with drainage or freezing I even managed to ride in there when we had the infrequent downpour of snow.
