Arena Hire
Indoor Arena
Our fabulous 60m x 30m Indoor Arena is available to hire. The Andrews Bowen ProWax surface provides a secure yet forgiving footing, making it an ideal surface for jumping.
To ensure everyone enjoys their booking, please keep to your allocated time. Each hire includes 50 minutes of arena use, giving you time at the start of the hour to hoof pick before entering the arena and make any adjustments for your schooling session, and time at the end of the hour to pick up droppings, hoof pick, sweep, return the arena to the condition you found it in, and exit the building - ready for the next hire.
A course of jumps is usually set out in lines or related distances, so you can practise without spending time on set-up. At times, the arena may instead be arranged for polework or left clear.
The arena building also includes a stable, perfect if you are bringing two horses, as well as toilet facilities and a kitchen with refreshments (operated via an honesty box).

NEW FOR Spring/Summer 2026 - Outdoor (Grass) Jumping Arena
Our large grass arena has a combination of show jumps, cross country jumps and working hunter jumps; making it the perfect place to train for show season or arena eventing competitions - or just to have some fun! Use of the arena is weather dependant to ensure the ground is protected and safe to ride in.
When hiring either of our arenas, we kindly ask all visitors to respect our facilities and leave everything as you found it—including returning any jumps to their original height if you have adjusted them. Please also ensure you poo pick after your horse in all the arena's and the car park, and keep any haynets inside your lorry or trailer at all times.
During the booking process, please take a moment to read the Shoemakers Stables Arena Hire Terms and Conditions.
