This arena also has seating for riding clinics. The covered arena is a short-court length (40 meters) with a viewing area and full mirrors. Footing is sand and dust-free fibre. The covered arena has skylights and electric lights for day and night riding. A 60 foot lungeing arena has sand and rubber footing and an all-weather base built over drainage to make it usable year-round. |
horse-friendly barns and lots of turnout paddocks |
Wyvern Farm provides several types of accommodations depending on the needs of individual horses. Every effort has been made to recognize the value of social interaction for horses' mental state, while at the same time creating environments that preserve harmonious equine relations. o Four large paddocks with matted shelters are designed for retired horses or for young horses needing room to move. o The 12-stall upper barn has 12x24" fully covered and matted stalls which have combination solid walls and grills to minimize conflicts among horses but to still provide an open feel. o Five 12x12 matted stalls and three additional larger stalls are found surrounding the covered arena and have barred fronts to allow horses to be entertained by the activities in the arena. Half solid walls with bars between stalls allow horses to socialize safely, and may be modified to provide full walls if necessary. o Each group of stalls has its own tack room, grain room and grooming areas to enhance convenience for riders and staff. |
