Intelligent arena preparation designed to support your footing and your horse.
The Story Behind the CRAFT
The Foundation of a Great Arena Starts Here
Every exceptional arena begins long before the footing is installed, it starts with the precision of the base.
Arena Works provides complete arena preparation built on decades of hands-on experience. As a horseman and skilled equipment operator, Dan Henry has spent over 30 years refining the process of grading, leveling, and building bases that perform. His work ensures that your footing has the stable, consistent, and long-lasting foundation it needs to support both everyday training and high-performance demands.
Through meticulous evaluation and craftsmanship, Dan creates the proper grade, compaction, and drainage structure your arena requires, delivering a surface that rides evenly, protects your horse, and maximizes the life of your footing.

Why it Matters
A great arena begins long before the footing arrives. Proper preparation creates the uniform grade, stability, and drainage your surface needs to ride consistently and safely, season after season. Without it, even the best footing will never perform to its potential.
What We Do
Arena Works provides complete site preparation services, including laser grading, base construction, compaction, and drainage solutions. Dan evaluates every arena individually, determining the precise approach your soil, climate, and riding goals require.
How We Build the Base
With decades of hands-on experience, Dan follows a proven sequence: establish the ideal slope, install and compact the base layers, correct drainage flow, and create a consistent, level platform for your footing. The result is a base engineered to stay stable, predictable, and durable.
The Difference You’ll Feel
A properly prepared arena rides better from day one, no soft spots, no shifting, no uneven tracks. Your footing stays consistent, your horses stay safer, and your maintenance becomes simpler. A solid base is the foundation for performance you can trust.
Built to Last From the Ground Up
True performance begins with a base that’s engineered to endure. Proper arena preparation reduces long-term maintenance, prevents material loss, improves drainage efficiency, and protects your footing investment for years to come. With expert grading, compaction, and base construction, Arena Works ensures your arena remains stable, consistent, and high-performing, no matter the season.
