Building A Dream With Cover-All

The Brooklyn Stables equine training facility, including an 18,200 square foot Cover-All® arena, has attracted the interest of hunter/jumper enthusiasts throughout their region and beyond. Suzanne Cullen and her husband Sean Carroll are pursuing their dream with the development of their commercial equine facility. "Our reason for creating a training facility was based on our personal interests as well as identifying a demand in the local riding community," says Cullen. "Our first major step was the purchase of a 20 acre site on the outskirts of Kelowna. From a business point of view the location was a good investment and the area required minimal site prep which is important when you live a mountainous province like British Columbia," says Cullen.

Cullen is a hunter/jumper amateur competitor and has competed in the A-Circuit for more than 20 years throughout Washington, California, Alberta and BC. "We compete against an elite group of hunter/jumpers. There is no time-off in this sport," says Cullen. "Both horse and rider need to be mentally and physically focused to be successful. Over the years, we’ve trained in every type of indoor arena you could imagine, so when it came time to constructing our own indoor arena, we knew what we wanted."

 


"After doing some research and having the opportunity to train and compete in numerous riding arena’s during our travels, the indoor riding arena we decided to purchase was a Cover-All. It’s an arena that we want every horse enthusiast to see and experience."

The indoor riding arena that was constructed on the Brooklyn Stables site is a 70 foot wide by 260 foot long Cover-All® TITAN® building. “In years past we’ve trained in several Cover-All buildings at various stables and horse shows like Spruce Meadows and Thunderbird Show Park. Cover-All was recommended by several other people in the industry,” says Cullen. “We chose Cover-All for two reasons; first, we love the brightness inside the building, the interior environment is natural to both horse and rider. Our second reason was that the cost of the structure was less expensive than a metal or wood building. How can you go wrong with a building that creates a better atmosphere for horse and rider and is less expensive,” says Cullen.

The present use for the 70 foot by 260 foot Cover-All® building is stabling and training but eventually Cullen hopes to build a much larger Cover-All® training arena and use the existing Cover-All® as a warm-up arena. “For now, the results have been very positive. I’m able to train anytime and can schedule appointments without any weather concerns. The quality of our training has improved and we’ve been able to more easily retain our competitive edge. It’s been a good investment,” says Cullen. The dream of building a complete equine facility is becoming a reality with Cover-All!
