Strategic zoning protects your equine investments long before foundation concrete pours begin. Silver Trophy Equine delivers sophisticated equestrian site planning that aligns soil mechanics, watershed topography, and municipal setbacks into a synchronized property layout. We eliminate common structural risks like chronic mud accumulation, poor wind ventilation, and inefficient daily work pathways, transforming raw acreage into a highly balanced, elite performance estate.
Our site planning models analyze raw acreage from a logistical perspective. We evaluate topography lines, watershed patterns, and vehicle turning radiuses to build practical infrastructure. Every fence line, driveway, and structural asset is placed to ensure secure, stress free movement for personnel and livestock.
This layout strategy prioritizes environmental resilience and long term utility routing. We prevent common design mistakes by predicting how water moves across your acreage during severe weather, protecting your financial investment from soil washouts.
Our planning methodologies are deeply rooted in our historic work throughout the challenging agricultural landscapes of Chester County, Pennsylvania. However, high level spatial engineering remains a universal necessity.
We execute comprehensive master layout plans for estates throughout the United States. Our technical consultants also handle land development mapping and zoning preparation for elite training operations across US Virgin Islands and South America.
Structuring a complex agricultural property requires balancing civil rules with daily animal care realities. We manage three critical design variables to optimize your land utilization.
Attached layouts offer unmatched convenience for late-night foal checks or inclement weather. Detached designs provide clearer boundaries and allow for distinct architectural styles between the home and the barn.
Spreading disease can ruin a competitive facility. We plan isolation paddocks and separate quarantine spaces far from your primary training barn, protecting your elite herd from health risks.
Hay storage and manure management produce dust, noise, and fire risks. We design dedicated storage hubs downwind from main barns, keeping your primary training zones clean and secure.
We do not believe in generic, mass-produced riding kits. Our firm treats your custom horse arena as a piece of functional art.
We focus deeply on the subtle details, such as hiding electrical conduits, eliminating glare, and ensuring heavy door tracks never freeze or jam. Our clients choose us because we anticipate how the building will actually be used by a working equestrian.
We coordinate these stylistic and architectural elements seamlessly across every phase of your build.
We evaluate slope mechanics, soil load capacities, and natural runoff vectors to design drainage networks that eliminate standing mud and prevent soil erosion.
Pathways, gates, turning radiuses, and facility clusters are engineered to streamline daily chores, minimize labor steps, and ensure safe animal transit.
Stables, manure management, hay storage, and quarantine zones are positioned downwind and separated to reduce disease risks, odors, and fire hazards.
Blueprints are engineered with future expansions in mind, pre-mapping utility corridors and future building envelopes so your property can grow seamlessly over time.
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.

Every foot of unnecessary travel between your hay shed, manure pit, and stalls adds hours of labor weekly. By grouping interdependent structures within optimized travel zones, we drastically reduce staff chore hours and lower long term overhead.
Impervious surface limits, strict wetland protection buffers, and agricultural conservation easements frequently halt unplanned projects. We review these regional regulations before sketching layouts, designing compliance features directly into your master plan.
Heavy timber barns and packed arenas require stable subsoil foundations. Building on loose pockets or unverified silt layers leads to uneven settling and cracked concrete foundations, which can ruin high end infrastructure over time.

“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! 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 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.
