Fresh Air for the Horses from Conowingo Builders Horses want to be outdoors with their herd, but when the weather turns stormy and wet, you need a weather tight, spacious structure as well. Conowingo Builders, located in Quarryville, southern Lancaster County, PA, builds custom barns with lofty ceilings and excellent airflow. Uniquely, they design a lean-to style porch along the eave, where they install hoof grid and stone dust. This setup allows them to hang a few gates, creating an out- door space for the horses that’s out of the rain yet open. It keeps them out of the meadow, preventing issues with mud while still giving them the chance to enjoy fresh air. A one stop shop, Conowingo Builders is a full service custom builder, providing help with ini- tial design and planning, permits, site prep, construction, electri- cal, and plumbing as well as the details, like hanging hay racks, water buckets, cabinets, etc. Their barns are custom designed and meant to last for the long haul, with a proper foundation and higher quality materials, all built onsite where the homeowner can watch the process. Their exterior doors use a fairly new product, a powder coated aluminum that looks like stained wood, manufactured by J&E Grill Manufacturing. They offer board and batten metal siding, which is easy to install, nicer than the regular G100 ag panel, and has a 40 year paint warranty. Another unique feature is timber frame accents, to add detail and character to the exterior of the barn. Conowingo Builders is a small scale, full service, custom construction company, spe- cializing in horse barns, hobby barns, custom garages and timber frames. Lifelong horse owners, they understand the importance of having a functional, well- thought through barn to stable your horses and store your farm implements.

Winter is on its way, and with it comes difficult foot- ing and challenging weather conditions. You’ll have a safe, dust-free place to ride all winter when you install footing from Arena Works in your indoor arena. Arena Works footing was developed by an elite dressage rider. It’s installed by an excava- tor who’s also a horseman, so he knows how specific and tidy it needs to be. Keep dust out of the are- na equation with Evermist EQ Moisturizer from Arena Works. It keeps your arena from getting dusty while also saving you the hassle of watering it. Arena Works has a variety of options to work with any budget. Their Gold Plus footing is by far the most popular, but they also work with a multitude of budgets in order to get the client what they need and can afford. The average arena only takes one day to install the new footing, and it’s ready to ride on immediately. “We want to be efficient with the installation so the clients who are riding there barely miss a beat!” said Dan Henry, owner.
