    EP 121: The Right Way to Build a Riding Arena

    If you recall Helena’s Arena From Hell project, you may remember that she put a 140′ x 80′ sand ring in at Hoo Hollow back in 2021.

If only Dickie Osborne was in the picture back then, sharing the inside scoop on how to build a sand arena the right way. This is gonna be one of those key episodes for farm owners, so listen in!

    EP 143: A Barn Building Checklist (+)

    This is a Stall and Stable (+) PLUS episode. Building a barn from scratch requires a specific list of things to consider. It goes well beyond how many stalls, what kind of doors, and whether or not you want on-demand hot water. In this episode, Helena welcomes Hollyn Mangione, an Aiken horse neighbor and the woman from whom Helena and Buck purchased their new farm. Hollyn has many years of experience keeping horses and building private barns. She recently built a shedrow barn in the equestrian community called Bridle Creek, and joins the show today to discuss what kinds of things influenced many of the decisions she made along the way. If you are planning a new barn or thinking about modifying your existing one, this is an episode you’ll enjoy… so LISTEN IN!
