Cover-All - The Perfect Training Facility
Sarra Mayberry from Thornhill, Stirling, Scotland has been in the Top 10 Young Riders in Europe, a European gold medal winner, and is also a Great Britain Young Rider. Sarra's parents have always supported her and after intensive research, Brian was convinced that a Cover-All® fabric membrane covered building would be the perfect riding arena for his daughter to practice her love of eventing.
Once the decision was made to build a private equestrian facility to enable Sarra to enhance her training regime, the Cover-All® building was installed very quickly. 'We didn't have any problems in obtaining planning permission for the pre-engineered building,'' says Brian. ''From breaking ground to riding inside, the entire building installation took only five weeks!''
Sarra's interest in horses started at the age of four when she took up riding. Sarra trained for many years using their outdoor facility but the weather often prevented her from riding every day, as often the surface was frozen and unusable.
The clear-span, year-round riding environment of a Cover-All® building thus proved to be an instant benefit and has allowed the Sarra to work her horses regularly to maintain their standards. 'The horses are very happy in this environment,'' says Sarra. ''The indoor riding arena is much quieter and provides more light than traditional buildings which is great for young horses and far more conducive to effective training.'' Many people have visited the building since it has been erected. ''After being inside the building for the first time, two leading trainers were impressed with the size and natural environment of the riding arena,'' says Sarra.
Brian is very happy with the service he received from the local dealer, Fortnum and Woolley Ltd. who constructed the facility. 'This is a state of the art facility and one of the best in Scotland,'' states Brian. ''I am totally satisfied and have no hesitation in recommending Cover-All to anyone!''
A final year student at Glasgow University, Sarra continues to train five days a week. She is a member of the Scottish Equestrian Association and is the top ranked Scottish rider in the British & World eventing rankings. 'The building has been invaluable,'' says Brian. ''During the wet weather Sarra was able to prepare to participate in her first Badminton.''
