You will recall, in 2008, when this blog was first started, a Top Pick was introduced in the name of Indoor Arenas. A series specifically designed to showcase some of the best indoor arenas throughout the world. The arenas to be featured all are different, offering various functional purposes as well as unique and traditional designs, appealing to a vast of tastes and disciplines. Every equestrian can appreciate a beautiful arena with excellent footing. There is nothing comparable! So let's continue on..
Now in 2010 (wow did time fly), I've found my second pick.
Our travels today, take us to the Pavillion Farm, a privately owned facility located in North Salem, New York in northern Westchester County, catering to Hunters and Jumpers. This farm is home to Eric Hasbrouck, an international show jumper who's career has spanned over 25 years. His career highlights include representing the United States in the World Championships in 1998 as well as serving on the Olympic Selection Committee.
In addition to viewing the arena, I found the barn at Pavillion Farm to be quite the sight. So I'm happy to introduce, combined within this, Indoor Arenas post, Brilliant Barns.
As we step into the barn at the lovely, Pavillion Farm, you will find an airy, 22 foot ceiling. The barn itself is constructed entirely of beautiful yellow pine and features black, exposed hardware and light fixtures to match. An old-world feel, with a modern, very distinguished look. The isle way is 16 feet wide, allowing ample room for horses and handle to comfortably move about. And they do so safely on the rubber inset floor.
Moving on to the arena, the yellow pine is continued as well as the hardware seen on the doors. The arena features Travel Light™ footing and at an ample 205' by 85' it's encompasses course work comfortably.
