Our outdoor jumping ring includes beautifully maintained sand footing and horse-show quality jumps with a Calgary slide and 2 banks to jump in and out of the arena and practice for Spruce Meadows. Additionally we have an outdoor arena grass field and a few cross country jumps. Our insulated indoor arena includes GGT (German Geo Textile) footing, with mirrors and appropriate letters. Both arenas features ideal footing for flatwork and jumping.
