Lynn Long Planning and Design - Complete Equestrian Facilities

Park and Multi-Use Equestrian

Lynn Long Planning and Design LLC provides consulting expertise when equestrian facilities are integrated into public spaces, multi-use parks or sports venues. Experience is the key here, not only in planning and design of facilities, but in Lynn Long’s personal equestrian use of a wide variety of these venues over decades.

Safety is paramount when horses and people come together. Designing a plan to safely accommodate horses of varying types and temperaments, horse owners of varying experience, horse trailers of all sizes, car traffic, and general park, sports and spectator traffic requires much thought and knowledge.

Horses and horse sport participation have become more costly and specialized over recent years. Expectations for the quality of competition facilities have risen accordingly at the higher levels, yet there is still a large need for equestrian facilities at a recreational, lower cost level. For participation levels to justify construction costs, facilities must be designed and built to meet approval from the widest possible range of user groups. Lynn Long Planning and Design LLC has the extensive experience and background to help sports facility, park or municipal planners accomplish these goals.

LLPD also provides consulting for equestrian trails, community open space equestrian use, and multi-use trails.
