From a Single Stable, to a brand new Equestrian Yard

Equestrian Yard Ideas

“From Conception to Design, through Planning to Construction – with our experienced and knowledgeable Planning and Construction Teams, Campion Equestrian Construction can turn your ideas, large or small, into a quality, aesthetically pleasing build, which we are confident will meet, if not exceed, your expectations”.

Back in 2022, we were delighted to be awarded the job of creating a brand new Equestrian Yard for our Customer. There was an empty field, it was literally a blank canvas!

We worked closely with our Customer during the design stages of the build to ensure we incorporated all our Customers’ requirements, in addition to creating a safe and practical yard. Drawing on our experience, we were able to offer helpful advice and suggestions throughout the design process, enhancing our Customers’ vision.

Once the design stage was completed, the Planning Consultant with whom we work alongside, submitted the planning application on behalf of our Customer. Once planning permission was granted, we were able to commence with the build.

Regular contact with our Customer continued throughout the build and as the yard evolved we were able to make any changes required, as and when they arose, adapting and tweaking as things progressed (we do find seeing the project in real life is often different to seeing the design on paper.)

Providing a quality product for our Customer is our top priority, the high specification of the Stable Block, the quality Concrete Base we laid for the Stables to be sited on (using K forms as opposed to wooden shuttering for longevity), the quality timber we use to construct our Arena’s and the sleeper edged Driveway and Carpark, all contributed to the overall completed look of the finished yard.

The yard comprised of:

  • 20m x 50m Arena
  • 20m x 20m Turnout Pen
  • Stable Block comprising of 4 No. Stables, 1 No. Wash Bay, 2 No. Corner Stores, 1 No. Machinery Store and 1 No. Feed Store
  • Stable Base
  • Yard Area
  • Muck Clamp
  • Car Park
  • Drive
  • Associated Landscaping
  • Post & Rail perimeter and paddock fencing

Photos of the completed yard are in our Gallery under the heading “Brand New Equestrian Yard – Showcase Photos”, to see the photos please click on the link here.

Sponsored Riders

Shout out to our Sponsored Riders in this month’s Blog!

On a few occasions this year we have had the opportunity to be there to watch our Sponsored Riders in person.

So proud watching Rachel Skeffington doing the Dressage Demo at The Essex Young Farmers Show, Roxwell, Chelmsford, Essex, back in May. It’s a fantastic show, made even better having Rachel there.

Back in June, we went to watch Rosie Summers competing at our local venue, Codham Park Equestrian, Nr Braintree, Essex. Rosie and Star actually won the class we are Sponsoring at Codham Park this year, the 80cm Open Pony!

In January we went to watch Megan Biggs competing with Eliza at another local venue, Frenches Farm, Nr Braintree, Essex.

All our Sponsored Riders do an amazing job representing us and they make us very proud.

And finally, a big “Thank you” to Mia Lempriere, who has been competing our very own “Emily Campion” this year.

Well done, Mia, you’ve done a fantastic job, Emily has been living her best life! We hope you have enjoyed it as much as Emily has!

Laser Grader Technology

Menage Refurbishment Essex

We use the latest laser grader technology to construct our arena’s, ensuring the best possible result for our Customers.

The laser grader can be used for constructing new arena’s, during an arena refurbishment or literally just for a surface level.

In 2023 we were asked by Writtle University College, near Chelmsford, Essex, to grade and level their Indoor and Outdoor schools, the photo below is of one of their Indoor Schools after it had been levelled using the laser grader.

Stables Maintenance

stable maintenance

We are often asked about stable maintenance.  How often will our stables need painting?

Brown sprit based preservative will fade in the sunlight but will be rejuvenated with a second coat after say, 18 months.  Really easy to apply, but should only be done in a dry spell.

Black is a different product and should stay colourfast for 5+ years.  Being water based it can be done if timber is less than dry.

It also depends how exposed to the elements the buildings are and what timber it has been applied to.
