Riding rings
Equestrian Excellence
If you’re a competitive rider or just a horse loving hobbyist, riding rings are where you and your companion can exercise and challenge yourselves.
Ranging from compact areas to Olympic-sized areas, Newton Valley Excavating is familiar with the proper procedures to build your riding ring to last a lifetime.
Most excavation contractors aren’t familiar with equestrian requirements, husbandry and necessary conditions required to install an adequately built Riding Ring. We understand there’s much more than just placing gravel in building a Riding Ring; we know how important it is to have proper footing base construction to keep your horses healthy and happy. Drainage is always on our mind when building your riding ring so that you have a usable surface year-round.

FAQs
We specialize in designing and constructing high-quality riding rings tailored to your specific needs. Our services include site preparation, grading, proper drainage systems, and the installation of materials like sand, rubber, or fiber to create a safe, smooth, and durable riding surface. We also ensure that your riding ring is properly fenced and equipped with access points for convenience and safety.
We use a variety of materials, including sand, rubber, and fiber, depending on the type of riding and the specific requirements of the rider and horse. For example, sand mixed with fiber provides excellent drainage and a stable surface for flatwork, while rubber can offer extra cushioning for jumping exercises. We work with you to select the best materials to ensure comfort, safety, and durability for your riding ring.
Proper drainage is essential to maintaining a safe and functional riding ring. We incorporate grading and drainage systems to prevent water from pooling and creating muddy areas, which can be hazardous for both horses and riders. This includes installing proper sub-base layers and ensuring the surface is pitched to direct water away from the riding area, keeping it dry and rideable in all weather conditions.
The timeline for building a riding ring depends on the size, materials, and site conditions. Typically, a standard riding ring can be completed in a few days to a week, while larger or more complex installations may take longer. We aim to minimize disruption and complete your project efficiently without compromising quality.
