How much does a horse arena cost?

If you’ve ever had the opportunity to ride in a horse arena, chances are you wished you had one of your own. Many horse owners are convinced that the cost of a horse arena is astronomical, but the relatively low cost of a prefab steel riding arena can bring the wish for a horse arena closer to reality.

A prefabricated steel horse arena can be constructed for much less than a wooden arena that’s built by a general contractor and construction crew. A steel horse arena typically offers a 60% savings when compared to an arena built using traditional construction methods. Adding an extension to a pre-engineered steel arena is also less expensive.

A large horse riding area that’s used for horse shows or for riding lessons might have dimensions of up to 200 ft by 250 ft. The estimated cost of a steel building of this size is $384,000. A smaller arena of 70 ft by 150 ft costs about $80,640. These figures give a general idea of the range of prices for prefabricated steel horse arenas. In addition to the cost of the basic building, additional expenses will include lighting, footing and ventilation for the arena and possibly even horse stalls.

One of the biggest advantages in a prefab steel horse arena is that is has been engineered and designed to provide horses with a safe and healthy environment.
