ARENA
: 160′×100′ square post and board with native soil (decomposed granite) foot-

tion into hill-side was required, leaving 16′ banks on the east and west sides. Pasture
fences skirt these banks to prevent erosion from horse traffic.

panel pens 16′×32′.
PASTURES

LANDSCAPING
: Wildlife area: entire central area (between east and west pastures) is
off limits to free horses; thus it is a protected habitat for wildlife.
