Needs + Challenges
The Kemp family had a vision of creating a top-tier equestrian facility on their property, including a covered horse arena that would allow them to ride and train year-round, regardless of weather conditions. This ambitious project came with some significant challenges. The site was located on steep ground, with solid rock present at the back end of the arena, creating difficulties during excavation. Additionally, the area was somewhat constrained, requiring careful planning to fit the structure without disrupting existing infrastructure, including a pre-existing horse arena and nearby property features. The Kemp family also wanted the arena to be close to their home for convenience while avoiding the hassle of traveling far to find a suitable indoor riding space.
Success made Simple
Bison Constructions worked closely with the Kemp family to bring this vision to life. Despite the challenging terrain and limited space, the team efficiently overcame obstacles to deliver the perfect solution. The team’s expertise and attention to detail ensured that the project was completed smoothly, even with the need to lift some components in multiple stages due to access restrictions and the use of only one crane.
The new covered arena, strategically placed close to the Kemp family’s home, now provides a sheltered space for training and riding year-round, protecting both riders and horses from the elements. The addition of a canopy on the side of the arena worked seamlessly, thanks to Bison’s ability to accommodate unique design requirements.
The Kemp family was extremely pleased with the entire process. The construction was organized and executed with remarkable precision, and the entire team was impressed by Bison’s commitment to ensuring everything arrived on-site well-prepared.
