riding arena

Equestrian practice space

A riding arena is an enclosed or fenced area designed for training and exercising horses.

Indoor arenas protect riders from weather; outdoor arenas may be open or covered.

The surface is typically sand, dirt, or specialized footing material to cushion horses' joints: The barn has a heated indoor riding arena for winter lessons.
