I really hesitated before I bought this book. I thought “how good could this POSSIBLY be for $150.00.” All of my doubts were erased once I opened the cover. I am planning to build a large indoor arena with stable. Every single one of my questions were answered thoroughly and clearly in this book. Beyond that hundreds of details I had never even considered were brought to light in Eileen Wheelers book.
The detail of construction was extensive and comprehensive. This book is defenitely the Bible of stable and Arena Design!!!

This book should be ones first purchase. If it does not satisfy all questions then buy another book -but I doubt it will be necessary. I bought all the less expensive books first and wasted my money and valuable time….reading them. I eventually found this book…I wish I had bought ONLY this book. It is fantastic for architects, contractors and simpler folks wanting to design their own structure…anyone considering re-building or starting from scratch will find this is the book that will have saved you thousands of dollars and heartache and then some. No kidding, I second the opinion it is worth every penny. I bought a second copy as a gift for a friend…..I didn’t dare loose my copy and besides the author really did deserve every penny for every copy sold on this lovely, lovely book.

This book is worth every penny. Anyone wanting to build a great barn or arena should consider this book…especially appreciated the formulas and suggestions for figuring needs for heat, arena floor materials, lighting, etc. The author seemed to think of everything!

Growing up on a farm, I knew some of the information contained in this book. However, it did a great job of explaining why things are done to make a barn both practical and successful. My family and I had many ideas of how we were to design our barn, but reading this book has allowed us to avoid several of what we now recognize as design pitfalls. With good explanations of each aspect of equine facilities (i.e. necessary facilities, additional facilities, designing techniques, etc.) and great pictorial content, my family and I were able to choose the designs which were perfect for us and our farm.
The only complaint I have about this book is that it disagreed with my original plans… and I was so hurt that someone found a flaw within my perfect self.
A job well done.

I borrowed this book through an interlibrary loan and after reading it cover-to-cover decided I still needed to buy my own copy. It is everything you would hope for in a resource book and is geared towards overall facility design. If you are looking for a cheaper book on arena footing/base only, then I suggest USDF’s Under Foot. However, if you are contemplating building a equine facility, remodeling an existing one, or just wondering what to look for when acreage shopping, then this book is worth your money.
