Has anyone built an arena?
We are moving our horses home and I want to build a 120 x 200 arena. I know there are companies that do this, and I may use one but am thinking I could do it with the right implements.
There is an arena groomer for sale that scarifies and levels (and is endorsed by at least 2 of the big name clinicians) that claims to be able to do all the steps but it is really expensive (did I mention the clinicians?)
Can a box blade rip up vegetation?
Can it level the surface and fill low spots?
Is it difficult to control the quality of the surface?
Is there anything I am overlooking - or any other implements to consider?
I do not have a box blade but can buy one and a basic arena groomer for half the price of the fancy one (a TR3) but can buy the TR3 for less than having the arena constructed.
