I borrowed this book through an interlibrary loan and after reading it cover-to-cover decided I still needed to buy my own copy. It is everything you would hope for in a resource book and is geared towards overall facility design. If you are looking for a cheaper book on arena footing/base only, then I suggest USDF's Under Foot. However, if you are contemplating building a equine facility, remodeling an existing one, or just wondering what to look for when acreage shopping, then this book is worth your money.

This was my first choice when I started searching for books on horse stable design, I must say that it took me some months before I made the investment and bought the book. I was a bit disappointed when I finally received it, but then again maybe I was looking for an easy way out by looking for straight forward answers to my indecisions. The book is a scientific look into stable and arena design (facts with little emotion), everything is laid down before you all the possibilities but there is no suggestion on what might be a wiser solution. The arena design could be more extensive we all know that it needs a subbase, base and footing ... but what can help in getting it right... Maybe I expected too much This book's biggest set back is the price (for me anyway)
