Choosing the Right Paddock Fencing Installation for Your Equestrian Facility
Wood Fencing
Wooden paddock fencing is a classic choice, offering high visibility and a sturdy design. It’s durable and long-lasting and adds aesthetic appeal to your Marlborough facility. However, wood requires regular maintenance to prevent rot and decay. Despite the upkeep, its timeless look and strength make it a top option for many equestrian facilities.
Wire Fencing
Wire fencing, often combined with wooden posts, is durable and low maintenance. While safer for horses due to its flexibility, it lacks the same visual impact as wood and may be less effective if horses don’t respect it due to its lower visibility.
Electric Fencing
Electric fencing is efficient, easy to install, and budget friendly. It works well for containing horses with minimal maintenance, though it requires a power source. While it’s effective, electric fencing doesn’t offer the traditional look of wood or wire and may require regular functionality checks.

Indoor Arenas
Indoor arenas can be used year-round, shielding horses and riders from adverse weather. With sturdy foundations and proper ventilation, they are ideal for consistent training. Though they have higher upfront costs, they are a long-term investment for any serious equestrian facility.
Outdoor Arenas
Outdoor arenas offer a more natural riding environment and are generally more affordable to construct. They can be built using a variety of materials like sand or grass. However, outdoor arenas are weather-dependent, meaning they may be less usable during Marlborough’s wet months.
Which is Right for You?
Indoor arenas are the best choice for all-weather reliability. However, if budget and space are your priorities, an outdoor arena can still offer excellent training conditions with proper maintenance.
