ARENA
Our professionally maintained arena at Black Horse Ranch in Umatilla, Florida is designed for both everyday riders and high-impact events. Measuring 200’ x 300’, the arena features a perfect blend of clay and sand footing, providing optimal traction, cushion, and drainage for all disciplines—whether you're training, teaching, or competing.
We offer two separate warm-up pens, each with its own entrance, plus a dedicated alleyway for smooth entries and exits during events. The layout is ideal for barrel racing, obstacle challenges, clinics, schooling shows, gymkhanas, breed shows, rodeo-style events, and more. We can also adjust the set up as needed for large scale events and weekend rentals. More info below!
