LENGTH AND WIDTH OF AN ARENA

HI:
WE HAVE A FEW ACRES AND WERE WONDERING WHAT THE DIMENSIONS OF A BARREL RACING TRACK IS. WE WERE INVOLVED WITH WESTERNAIRES BACK IN DENVER BEFORE WE MOVED TO State Flag. IF YOU COULD E-MAIL ME JUST THE LENGTH AND WIDTH OF AN ARENA I WOULD APPRECIATE IT

THANKS, SCOTT

Scott,
If you’re wanting to set a standard pattern, your arena should be at least 130′ wide and 200′ long. Many patterns are much shorter than a standard pattern however so your pen doesn’t have to be that large. A standard pattern is 60′ from the score line to the 1st and 2nd barrels, 90′ between the 1st and 2nd barrels, and 105′ from the 1st and 2nd to the 3rd barrel.
