The inception of this project was driven by a group of owners with a deep love and passion for equestrian sports. Initially, they envisioned building an arena and stables with a capacity of around 20 horses in Chiang Mai, a large scale project requiring significant investment. However, during the design development phase, they were fortunate to come across a location that had previously served as a pony stable.

This led them to consider relocating the project to Bangkok, as it would require a lower investment while offering greater convenience and easier access to their target clientele. The project is planned to be implemented in two phases. Phase 1 involves renovating the former pony building into an indoor arena and stables for six horses. Phase 2 includes the construction of a stable with a capacity for approximately ten horses and an outdoor paddock.

In Phase 1, the original pony building intended for renovation was found to be in poor condition, and the scale of the existing stables did not match the vision of the project owners. This required almost a complete teardown and reconstruction, preserving only the structural frame and roof of the main arena building and a two-story office section.

The surrounding areas were meticulously redesigned to enhance functionality and flow, incorporating features such as a comfortable waiting area, an open fence layout for improved ventilation and a welcoming connection with the outside, as well as dedicated zones for horse washing, farrier services, tack storage, feed rooms, and caretaker accommodations.

The owners’ goal was to achieve standards comparable to leading international facilities. At the heart of this project are the stables and the arena, conceived with the belief that a horse’s environment should reflect the same care and comfort expected in human living spaces. The stables were designed to be cool, well ventilated, clean, odor free, and free from pests, ensuring a peaceful environment. Each element, from feeding and watering areas to stable doors, drainage, flooring, and wall materials, was carefully considered. Arena flooring, fencing, and safety barriers were designed to prevent injury to both riders and horses, acknowledging that while riders are valued athletes, so too are the horses themselves.
