An outdoor arena can be an expensive undertaking. First you'll need to find a good spot for the arena itself, this should be a large area that is fairly flat, but that will also drain well. Next determine what type of riding you'll be doing the most while using the arena, this will help to determine the size you'll need. Typically however 60 by 80 feet is the minimal (smallest) size you should go. Dressage arenas come in two sizes 20 by 40 meters ( 65 by 131 feet) or 20 by 60 meters (65 by 197 feet). These can be good arena sizes for most types of riding. Next you'll need to excavate the land and remove the topsoil and level the ground. Then you'll need the base compacted. After that you're going to need a subbase, typically gravel called Crush or 'Crusher Run' gravel is best, this to needs to be compacted very tightly, it should be about 4 to 6 inches deep. The final step is the actual footing, which tends to be sand or a sand blend. This is typically about 3 to 4 inches deep and should be 'crowned' in the center and slope downward about 1 to 2 degrees to the edges. Lastly you'll want to install some kind of fence or rail around it to keep the footing from getting out of place. This is a general way to build an outdoor arena, you should contact a local company for details pertaining to your specific area.
