As Equine Design Studio, we are with you every step of the way as we bring your custom designed horse farm to life. Horse farm construction requires a detailed planning and implementation process. Let us explain the important points and stages to be considered in this process in detail for you.

 1. Planning Phase

• Land Analysis:

Soil Structure: Factors such as the bearing capacity of the land and water retention determine the type of construction. Slope: Additional measures such as drainage systems and support walls should be taken on sloping land. Water Resources: Water sources such as wells, fountains or infrastructure required for irrigation systems are examined. Environmental Impact: Environmental impacts are assessed for an environmentally sensitive design.

• Budget Determination:

Detailed Cost Analysis: All items such as land acquisition, construction, materials, labor, equipment are calculated in detail. Flexible Budget Planning: Alternative budgets are prepared for different scenarios. Government Supports: Opportunities to benefit from government supports in the field of agriculture and animal husbandry are investigated.

• Legal Procedures:

Zoning Plan: The zoning status and construction limits of the land are determined. Building Permits: Necessary permits are obtained. Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA): If necessary, an EIA report is prepared.

• Design:

Functional Design: The size, layout and equipment of the stables are determined according to the needs of the horses. Aesthetic Design: The general appearance of the farm, its harmony with the environment and your personal taste are taken into consideration. Sustainable Design: Sustainability principles such as energy efficiency and water saving are taken into consideration.

 2. Construction Phase

• Foundation Preparation:
  • Soil Testing: The soil’s bearing capacity and groundwater level are determined.
  • Foundation Type: The appropriate foundation type is selected based on the building load and soil characteristics.
• Stable Construction:
  • Material Selection: Different materials such as wood, steel, or concrete can be used.
  • Ventilation: Adequate ventilation is provided to ensure the horses’ health.
  • Lighting: Natural and artificial lighting systems are installed.
  • Insulation: Insulation is provided against hot and cold weather conditions.
• Outdoor Arrangement:
  • Paddocks: Safe areas where horses can roam freely are created.
  • Riding Arenas: Arenas are arranged for horses to exercise.
  • Obstacle Courses: Obstacle courses are built for horse riding training.
• Irrigation and Drainage Systems:
  • Automatic Watering Systems: Automatic watering systems are installed to meet the horses’ water needs.
  • Drainage Systems: Drainage systems are created to prevent water accumulation.
• Electrical and Plumbing Systems:
  • Electrical System: A safe and efficient electrical system is installed.
  • Plumbing System: The necessary water supply system is installed for watering and cleaning.

3. Final Stage

• Landscaping:
  • Green Areas: Grass, trees, and shrubs are planted.
  • Ornamental Ponds: Ornamental ponds can be created for an aesthetic appearance.
• Equipment Installation:
  • Feeding Systems: Systems are installed to store and distribute feed in a clean and hygienic manner.
  • Horse Care Equipment: Equipment necessary for hoof care, cleaning, and other tasks is provided.
• Delivery and Training:
  • Delivery: The completed project is delivered to you.
  • Training: Training is provided on the use and maintenance of the farm.
