Traditional pole barns rely on timber posts that deteriorate over time and restrict riding dimensions. Silver Trophy Equine engineers clear-span steel structures integrated with We Cover webbed membrane systems. By combining heavy-gauge steel framing with specialized equine architecture, we deliver unobstructed, fire-resistant arenas engineered for generational durability.
Our structural fabrication strategies prioritize massive clear spans and precise vertical clearances. We calculate the exact steel yield strength required to secure an unobstructed riding track. Every rafter and web truss is manufactured to maximize rider safety parameters while dampening acoustic echoes.
This precise structural calculation guarantees long term asset durability. We protect your facility from structural sagging by engineering premium pre engineered connections that withstand regional environmental stresses effortlessly.
We execute specialized steel and arena engineering nationwide and internationally from Pennsylvania. Collaborating with leading equine architects like Holly Matt of Pegasus Design Group, our turnkey delivery network supplies heavy steel frameworks, custom footings, and specialized erection crews to premier facilities worldwide.
We supervise complete arena installations across the United States. Our project management division also coordinates specialized material shipments and engineering certifications for competitive riders throughout Canada and South America.
Balancing architectural spans with daily horse care requires specialized knowledge. We manage three critical design variables to ensure proper shell performance.
Low ceilings restrict light and trap heat. We design rigid frames with high eave heights to clear large obstacles and maximize natural airflow.
Deflecting a horse kick requires heavy reinforcement. We weld heavy secondary steel girts along the perimeter to anchor timber kick walls securely.
Complete metal enclosures require constant electricity. We reinforce specific roof purlin sections to hold impact resistant polycarbonate light panels that provide soft natural illumination.
We do not adapt cheap commercial storage packages. Our firm approaches metal fabrication from the dual position of professional structural managers and active equestrians who recognize that a premier steel equestrian arena demands heavy gauge materials.
We understand how humidity cycles, foundation settling, and tension points impact your building investment. Our clients work with us because we remove the structural vibration and engineering errors that compromise facility safety.
We coordinate your metal project comprehensively. If your program expands, our specialized steel frames connect smoothly with our Project Management.
Synergizing specialty structural design from Ridgeline Engineering, precision concrete and erection from Fair Creek Building Solutions, and master equine planning from Pegasus Design Group.
Eliminates dangerous interior columns and post obstacles, giving riders and high-speed footing machinery a completely open, high-clearance working track.
Built with fire-resistance rated steel framing engineered to withstand extreme regional wind shear, heavy snow loads, and seismic forces effortlessly.
From site layout and engineered concrete footings to steel erection and We Cover membrane installation, we manage every physical phase under one master contract.
Partner with Silver Trophy Equine to refine your property vision into a masterfully curated reality. From high-level design consultation to custom material configurations, we guide your concept with absolute precision to help deliver a world-class facility built for athletic longevity.
Get clear answers regarding our design consultation framework, material systems, and how our specialized network curates sustainable arenas that prioritize horse wellness.
Timber poles rot over time and cannot safely achieve massive widths without internal columns. Steel framing allows for completely open spans greater than 100 feet, maximizing your usable riding space while eliminating dangerous interior post collisions.
We do not build generic kits. Our engineers analyze your exact geographic coordinates to determine historical weather peaks, adjusting steel thickness and beam depth calculations to guarantee compliance with your local building codes.
Yes, quite easily when utilizing rigid frame engineering. We design the endwalls to accept bolt on bypass frames, allowing construction crews to expand your covered track length seamlessly without dismantling your initial building.

“Tricia and her team demonstrated exceptional professionalism and responsiveness throughout our collaboration. She worked hand-in-hand to address all inquiries and concerns promptly and thoroughly, consistently meeting and even exceeding our expectations. As a Therapeutic & Adaptive Riding center, we greatly appreciate their dedication to providing an arena tailored to our budget and the needs of our participants. Many professionals in the industry have commented on how well-made and beautiful our arena is! We would highly recommend We Cover Arenas and Tricia for all of your arena needs - and we have!”
"My long time Bestie, Cynthia Keating, encouraged me to give it one more look and introduced me to Tricia Marbain Kraybill! She really had me in the first conversation when I realized right away that she was a true horse person and someone on the same page with me in terms of taste and the tranquility of my farm! And she got the impractical reality of a huge expense on my private farm! She introduced me to the WE Cover Arenas and said we could get one in by Christmas!! And she did just that! My structure was up in a mere three weeks under the "old time" efficient and dedicated work ethic of Fair Creek Builders. We have now ridden in the arena for 2 months of mid-winter in a non-confining yet warm, dry, and bright cover! Many of my friends have come over to try it, and every single horse has taken a sigh of relief and been relaxed and comfortable under this cover that provides a well-lit, comfortable working area!! I can't say enough good things about my whole experience with Tricia Kraybill of Silver Trophy, WEcovers, and Fair Creek Builders."
Tricia Kraybill and her team are the most helpful with design and staying in budget. She can build cover with intention to expand or enclose later. The fabric roof is 25 year warranty- NATURAL LIGHT and cooler than other materials. Everyone who sees ours is absolutely blown away at “the feel” … like being outside but with a roof for protection.
