Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What cost centers should I expect when building an equestrian facility?

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

Possible cost centers can be:
- Concept/Planning
- Preparation of Building Application Documents
- Surveying/Ground Investigation
- Execution Planning
- Structural Verification
- Fire Safety Report
- Earthworks
- Grounding Systems
- Interior Finishing: Electrical Installation, Lighting, Heating/Sanitary
- Stable Equipment
- Indoor Riding Arena Floor
- Irrigation System
- Outdoor Facilities
- Etc.

We are happy to advise you on the cost items that need to be considered when planning an equestrian facility.

How should the size of a species-appropriate horse box be measured?

The size of the box depends on the size of the horse. As a minimum measurement, the guidelines for assessing horse husbandry from an animal welfare perspective state that the formula (2xWh)² should be used. With a withers height of 1.70 m, this results in a box size of at least 11.56 m². When planning, however, areas for hay racks should also be considered, as these may need to be deducted depending on the model. We would be happy to advise you on this tailored to your individual case.

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

Yes, a horse stable or an indoor riding arena always requires approval! First, it must be clarified whether it is being built indoors or outdoors. Depending on this, further requirements arise that determine whether a building is approvable. It is therefore advisable to contact the local authorities at an early stage for a planned construction project. We would be happy to assist you with the approval processes for your building.

How do I achieve a pleasant riding atmosphere in an indoor riding arena?

In the indoor riding arena, two factors play a decisive role: On the one hand, the incidence of daylight, which ensures a bright, friendly atmosphere. On the other hand, the air quality. Optimal ventilation allows the air to circulate and be exchanged. This is especially necessary due to the regular watering of the riding surface. An insulated roof rounds off the package and buffers external temperature peaks so that riding can take place in the indoor arena throughout the year.

What should be considered when using photovoltaics on equestrian facilities?

The installation of a photovoltaic system on the equestrian facility leads to energy-efficient management of the entire horse operation or can financially support the operation in the case of full feed-in. It is important to clarify feasibility at the given location beforehand. This involves, above all, the connection to the power grid and the presence of a nearby transformer. If feasibility is basically possible, the PV load must be taken into account in the structural calculation of the building - in our offer, this is already included.

What advantages does wood as a building material offer?

Building with wood is climate-friendly! Why?
Because 1 m³ of wood binds about 1 t of CO₂ during its growth. At HÖRMANN, we primarily use domestic woods to keep transport distances as short as possible, thus contributing to climate protection. Moreover, wood as a building material creates a bright, friendly atmosphere, allowing both horse and human to feel completely comfortable. Additionally, wood can be optimally combined with other building materials architecturally.
Feel free to ask us about it!
