Your partner for all construction projects –
Everything about your equestrian facility and your horses

Our heart beats for horses and equestrian sports. That's why we plan and realize with great passion and attention to detail all types of constructions for equestrian businesses and their horses: From the complete facility to individual buildings, such as an indoor riding arena or stables, to a combination of indoor riding arena or stable with residential building.

Good advice and careful planning are the key for us to successful project implementation and the foundation for a long-lasting facility that brings joy to you and your horses. To this end, when constructing an equestrian facility, we combine our expertise with the latest technology and appealing architecture. To ensure a high standard of quality, we produce essential building components and parts of the interior, such as horse boxes ourselves. Horse-friendly housing is always a priority when constructing facilities of any type and size.

Our mission: The best for the horses and completely satisfied customers.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What cost points should I consider when building an equestrian facility?

In addition to the obvious material and assembly costs for the building, there are other services and trades that must be considered. Of course, these differ depending on the construction project and its complexity.

Possible cost points can be:

Concept creation/planning
Creation of building application documents
Survey/borehole investigations
Detailed execution planning
Structural analysis
Fire protection report
Earthworks
Earthing systems
Interior construction: Electrical installation, lighting
Stable equipment
Indoor riding arena flooring
Sprinkler system
Outdoor facilities
Etc.

We are happy to advise you on the cost points to be considered when constructing an equestrian facility.

How big should a species-appropriate horse box be?

The size of the box depends on the size of the horse. The guidelines for assessing horsekeeping in terms of animal welfare provide the formula (2xWh)² as the minimum measure. Therefore, with a withers height of 1.70 m, a box size of at least 11.56 m² results. However, during planning, space for hay racks should be considered, as these must be deducted depending on the model. We are happy to advise you on a case-by-case basis.

Is a horse stable or indoor riding arena subject to approval?

Yes, a horse stable or an indoor riding arena is always subject to approval! Firstly, it must be clarified whether the construction will be inside or outside. Depending on this, further requirements arise that determine whether a building is approvable. Therefore, it is advisable to contact the local authorities early in any planned construction project. We are happy to assist you in the approval processes for your building.

How do I create a pleasant riding atmosphere in the indoor riding arena?

Two factors play a crucial role in the indoor riding arena: On the one hand, the entry of daylight, which ensures a bright, friendly atmosphere. On the other hand, the air quality. Optimal air supply and exhaust allow the air to circulate and be exchanged. This is essential, especially because of the regular watering of the arena surface. An insulated roof completes the whole, cushioning external temperature peaks, so that riding can take place inside the indoor riding arena throughout the year.

What must be considered for photovoltaic on equestrian facilities?

Equipping the equestrian facility with a photovoltaic system leads to energy-efficient management of the entire equestrian business or can financially support the operation through full feed-in.

However, it is important to clarify the feasibility at the given location in advance. This mainly concerns the connection to the power grid and the availability of a nearby transformer. If feasibility is fundamentally possible, the PV load must be considered in the building's structural calculation – with us, this is already included in the offer.

What advantages does the building material wood offer?

Building with wood is climate-friendly! Why?
Because 1 m³ of wood binds approx. 1 ton of CO₂ during its growth. We at HÖRMANN primarily rely on local woods to keep transport routes as short as possible and thus contribute to climate protection. Furthermore, wood as a building material creates a bright, friendly atmosphere in which both horse and human feel completely comfortable. In addition, wood can be optimally combined with other building materials architecturally.
Feel free to talk to us about this!
