What our Clients Say

“From the first day Perry came to look at our arena, which needed serious renovation, he was very professional in his approach. Once the project started Perry was hard working and efficient, which considering the poor weather and ground conditions at the time was very impressive.

Nothing was too much trouble, even when we changed our minds on a few things, and he patiently answered all our questions and offered constructive advice when it was required.

I would recommend Perry and his team to anyone thinking of refurbishing their arena, as the end result for us has been a fantastic working area that is suited to any and every weather condition."

Sarah Jones
West Bagborough

"Perry James constructed an outdoor riding arena for us in 2006. An excellent result which was achieved in a difficult position. It has been used in some of the hardest frost and after torrential rain. The surface continues to ride extremely well. A totally reliable team and I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone."

Nerissa M Howard
Langley Marsh, Somerset.

"Perry was one of four specialists that I spoke with before commissioning my 60x20 arena. From the moment that we met I had a feeling that attention to detail was as important to Perry as it was to me. I was not proved wrong. The construction process was smooth - everything arrived according to Perry's closely managed timescale. He, and any of his team were beyond professional - always on time, friendly and approachable, extremely tidy and also very pleasant to work with. I could not recommend Perry more highly. I have a beautiful arena and also know that the ground works have been correctly installed."

Claire Forsyth
Waterow, Somerset

"Perry completed a 20 x 40 Manège and an acre sized lake for us this summer. There is only one comment: Brilliant in any aspect. Even with clearing up the mess after a wet summer and working in unstable ground conditions he finished leaving everything in pristine condition. We are extremely pleased with both projects and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone."

Ueli and Elizabeth
Winsford Exmoor

Having moved to our dream place in September 2022 with an indoor arena which was the cherry on the cake, it was disappointing to discover that the surface wasn’t fit for purpose especially as our horses were advancing in years.

Given it was an an unexpected expense we wanted to be sure we were getting the right advice and quality service to ensure it would enable us to address all our different horse needs … dressage, showjumping, free schooling.

Perry’s advice and support throughout the project left us with absolute peace of mind and a stunning new indoor arena that we can use all year round come baking heat, epic rain storms or freezing temperatures.

We loved the Equestrian Wax Cushion surface that Perry recommended so much that we went back a year or so later and in September 2024 Perry replaced our outdoor arena surface with the same. We couldn’t be happier.

Fiona and Carolyn, Milverton, Somerset.

“I have worked with Perry James on several manege, riding arena, and earthwork projects. My role has been to achieve and prepare the design, achieve planning permission for the client and prepare a specification for Perry to implement. Based on my many collaborations, I would have no hesitation in recommending Perry James for this specialist type of work. Perry is very professional, always executing and finishing the works to an extremely high standard. I know from client feedback that he works safely, promptly and cleanly and know that the quality of the company’s work speaks for itself.”
