During the harsh Montana winter months, it may be difficult to take your horses out for a ride.  However, there is a great option if you can’t wait for Spring to get back on your horse.  You can contact MQS Barn, the premier custom horse barn builders in Montana, who also specialize in riding arenas. 

Our dedicated team has over 20 years of construction experience for various farm buildings in Montana.  You can rest assured that your customized riding arena will provide a safe and comfortable environment for both the riders and horses. 

This article will explain some of the specific features you can add to your riding arena, such as: 

• Spacious Riding Area 
• Stirrup Guard 
• Loft 
• Wash Stalls 

Spacious Riding Area 

Whether it’s a horse barn, garage hobby shop, or a riding arena, all of our Montana agricultural buildings are constructed with our unique post frame technique.  This allows for clear spans and a wide-open layout for the interior of your new riding arena.   

Depending on the size you choose for your new Montana post frame building, you will have ample space for things like equestrian lessons, rodeo training, or just simply riding horses for pleasure.  There will be plenty of room to provide multiple lessons at the same time with a riding arena. 

Stirrup Guard

To avoid contact with the outside posts or the exterior wall of your riding arena, a stirrup guard wall should be installed.  As a leader in customized riding arenas and custom pole barns in Montana, MQS Barn knows that not all horses and riders are the same height.  Be sure to discuss with our team the specific dimensions you will require for your stirrup guard wall, and our team will ensure it is built to fit your needs. 

Loft 

For easy access to hay and supplies for your horses, one option many people enjoy is a loft inside their riding arena.  You won’t have to worry about making a separate trip out to the barn when it’s time to feed the horses.  A simple trip up the stairs to the loft will save you time and provide a convenient area for extra storage.  

Wash Stalls 

After a day of riding, no doubt your horses will be a little dirty and could use a nice bath.  Another feature MQS Barn can install for Montana agricultural buildings, like a riding arena, is a wash stall.  Stay inside and get your horses nice and clean instead of battling the elements outside.  A wash stall can also prove beneficial for the riders to clean off mud or dirt from their boots after finishing a riding session.
