Reference Works

Equestrian facilities of reference in Europe.

This month we bring you a "bird's eye view" of Finca Maeza, a reference equestrian complex in all of Europe, with modern facilities and equipped with high-quality elements.

This project still represents a lot for Sotoancho Instalaciones Hípicas, since it was the first major project that it carried out from its initial approach to the final assembly of its equipment. 

A few years have passed since Finca Maeza opened its doors, but we are proud of the center and its management team, we have decided to pay this tribute in the form of a video. 

The initial commitment of Yeguada Finca Maeza was important, since it was equipped with top-notch equipment throughout the sports complex. The stud farm has 4 sheds with 11 boxes each. Boxes for foals, Boxes for Mares, Veterinary room, Walker, Work track, Aquatrainer and Treadmill

The location in a beautiful Asturian valley in Sariego is extraordinary for holding summer competitions, such as the CSI** contest that was held from July 2 to 11, 2021. For the first time, an international competition at Finca Maeza organized by Oxer Sport .

Modern facilities for a young rider with a future

Located in the beautiful lands of La Rioja, the stables of Convixion Horses rise as one of the most complete and modern facilities for the breeding and training of Dressage horses.

From Sotoancho Instalaciones Hípicas we have put all our efforts so that the stable and the rest of the farm's facilities remain at the highest level.

The ship has 8 Hamburg model Boxes from our supplier Röwer & Rüb, Preparation and Shower Area, Saddlery and Warehouse.

The galvanized metal structure of the Hamburg model Boxes has been given an anthracite oven-painted finish. The color of the boxes together with the black of the Regupol Rubber Pavers in the corridor create a cozy atmosphere inside the warehouse. Added to the color combination is the elegance of the design achieved by the upper horizontal plank inserted in the Front of the Box.

The troughs are made of stainless steel with a rotating system, facilitating the work of the waiter. 

Laterals with folding system have been installed in four of the boxes in this stable, thus there is the option of having two double boxes to house groups of colts.

shower area

The Preparation and Shower Area for two horses is divided by a Divider and Mooring Posts from Röwer & Rüb. The floor is protected with Regupol Horseline Rubber. 

Doors

Röwer & Rüb maintains the same line of design of the boxes for the access doors. It can be seen in the tack room, bathroom and warehouse doors, which even use the same manufacturing materials.

The shelters from our supplier De Sutter Naturally are made from autoclaved pine wood. Inside, the lower part is reinforced with a plywood panel to prevent breakage from blows and damage from horse bites.

Outside, generous meadows allow the horses to enjoy freedom of movement and fresh food. The grazing area is divided into 4 individual paddocks of 100 x 100 meters. 

Each of them has a 6 x 3 meter wooden shelter to shelter the animals from the weather.

The paddocks have been delimited with PVC poles for electric cords from Fornells. This practical, safe and durable system where the change and design of the paddocks can be done easily.

The training track is equipped with PVC fencing from Fornells, the same manufacturers of the posts used in the paddocks.

The equestrian project, which is still in the last phase of construction, shows us very complete, spacious facilities with a good distribution.

We are sure that Equsport Future will reap great victories.

A benchmark equestrian facility in Buenos Aires, Argentina

The love of horses and the passion for the Lusitana breed brought to Argentina impressive specimens from Portuguese stud farms of Pure Lusitano Blood. This is how Haras La Sagisciana emerged, a stud farm that is committed to Dressage and has recently renovated its facilities. 

The work has made it possible to modernize all the equipment to give the horses more safety, and a Röwer & Rüb Walker has even been incorporated to enhance training. 

Without a doubt, Haras La Sagisciana has the best equestrian facilities in all of South America, of which we are immensely satisfied at Sotoancho Instalaciones Hípicas.

The project consisted of the installation of 10 Hannover model Boxes, 10 Box Doors to access the Paddocks, Windows and Doors for the Stable Warehouse and Indoor Track, all from the German firm Röwer & Rüb. Regupol Horseline Rubber has been installed inside the Boxes, Shower and Preparation Area, Veterinary Area; Rubber pavers for corridors and Paddocks also from our supplier Regupol. 

The building is made up of two wings of Boxes. In one are the stalls for stallions, the shower area and tack room, and in the other, the stalls for mares and the veterinary area.

Towards the outside are the Paddocks with direct access from the box through External Doors also from the German firm. The floor is covered with Regupol Rubber Cobblestone.

The Hannover model Box Fronts have a very elegant design. In this case, the anthracite color provides a cozy style to the whole block. Walls and floor inside the Box have been covered with Regupol Horseline Rubber to prevent injuries to the extremities of these sports horses.

The corridor is also covered with Regupol Cobblestone to provide a soft footing.

The large Preparation Area is divided by Röwer&Rüb metal separators also painted in anthracite. The stable has been equipped with a Premium Solarium. This model of solarium is the most complete due to its dimensions, 2.30 m, and its design, since it allows better projection of heat for the horse's neck.

As can be seen in the photographs, walls and floors are covered with Regupol Horseline Rubber.

Both Exterior Doors and Windows maintain the anthracite color that predominates throughout the block.

The design of the building fits perfectly with the elements of Röwer&Rüb.

For the access door to the Covered Track, a sliding system was chosen, which is more practical due to its dimensions.

We supply the thermoformed wooden boot guard from our supplier Saonoise. The design allows for better track maintenance.

A social room presides over the training track. It is fair to mention the good taste of the owners, who have not paid attention to details throughout the estate.

A Veterinary Area has been set up for the daily control and first veterinary care of the horses.

In good weather, the horses shower and dry in the sun, for which an Outdoor Shower Area has been provided next to the Walker.

At Haras La Sagisciana a Teomatic walker has been installed. This Walkway has the advantage of keeping the central area free, being able to use it as Paddocks or Rope Track.

The screen transmission system is located at a safe height for the animals. Because the weather is benevolent where the farm is located, it was decided to mount the partial cover on the Walker. The Walker's walkway is covered with Horseline Cobblestone to protect the joints.

For the Gallop Track, a PVC fence was supplied from our supplier Fornells. This material stands out for the protection it has against the incidence of the sun and for the absence of maintenance.

We end the report with a beautiful panoramic view of Haras La Sagisciana

Wellington Florida

Headquarters of the international winter equestrian competitions, Wellington brings together the best riders in the world from the disciplines of Jumping, Dressage and Polo every year.

Five Ring Farm has 20 Verden Boxes by Röwer & Rüb, Saddlery, Warehouse, Veterinary area, Ironing area, laundry and offices in the main building. A large outdoor track, an indoor track, a walkway and several paddocks in the area around the equestrian area.

Hundreds of exclusive properties dedicated to the competition horse abound in this Florida town.

The Five Rings Farm project marks a milestone in the work of Sotoancho Instalaciones Hípicas, since this has been one of the first works carried out in the USA.

The grandeur and opulence of the central corridor of the stable is the most remarkable thing about the building.

The Verden model Boxes have been manufactured with a top opening.

Each Box has access from the main façade of the building through Doors for Boxes.
These doors have a grid in the upper half and a total closure of it.

In the summer months, Wellington's weather is hot and humid at the same time, making it muggy throughout the day. This type of construction with high ceilings, wide corridors and building openings in all directions, facilitates air circulation that helps mitigate high temperatures.

A very charming block

In Comillas, a landscape full of nature located on the side of the mountain that overlooks the Cantabrian Sea, this private block is located, designed with all the care and affection that its owners have given it. 

For Sotoancho Instalaciones Hípicas this project has been special because it was infected from the beginning with the love and taste with which the owners designed the work.

After the comprehensive restoration, the horses enjoy unbeatable facilities in a beautiful setting with views of the sea. 

For this project, Rome model Boxes by Röwer & Rüb were chosen, black in color and double protection against rust due to the proximity of the sea.

The amplitude and luminosity of the block has been sought with the open fronts and laterals with bars. The Laterals also have a curved screen filled with bamboo wood in the feeder area to avoid clashes with other horses.

Inside, all the space has been used correctly, despite having the difficulty of the pillars of the building.

The corridor divides the line of Boxes from the Shower and Preparation Area, tack room, toilets and storage.

The entire block is protected with Regupol Horseline Rubber. Inside the Box and Preparation Area, both the floor and the wall have been used, and 43 mm Rubber Cobblestone has been installed in the corridor. 

In this stable, the Horseline Rubber does the triple function of protecting against blows, offering a soft footing to the horse and serving as insulation in the cold and rainy season.

The stable occupies the lower part of the building with direct access to a porch from where you can enjoy all the beauty of the Cantabrian landscape.

The Box Doors have a top opening so that the horses can enjoy the outside.

The Preparation Area has been perfectly integrated into the stable and has all the comforts for the work of the groom and the rider.

The Mooring Posts, like the Boxes, are finished with baked paint and topped with a stainless steel disc and ball.

Outside, a preparation and shower area has also been installed to use it as long as the weather permits.

As you have well seen in the report, the project that began to take shape at the end of 2017, has culminated in a magnificent charming block.

A model project with comfortable stables for broodmares

The Yeguada Palacio de Villafruela, located in Perales, Palencia, has been breeding CDE horses for Saltos for years. 

The advisory work of Sotoancho Instalaciones Hípicas was key to designing a comfortable stay for the broodmares. These were developed together with the breeder's indications and the possibilities offered by the existing facilities.

The restoration of a cattle shed and transformation into a pit shed for breeding, has resulted in essential equipment for this stud.

His selection work and subsequent training have produced magnificent horses that have brought prestige to the stud. 

• 

• 

In this project, 19 boxes measuring 5.00 x 3.25 meters were installed. The Verden model by Röwer & Rüb was chosen, with a central door and greater width to accommodate mares with their foals. A double reinforcement was included in the structure due to the dimensions of the Front.

In each project we recommend the installation of wooden sides / fence with wooden screen next to the feeder to avoid conflicts between horses during the meal. 

The metallic structure of our Laterals is filled with tongue and groove boards of bamboo wood to absorb the blows of the horses and guarantee its resistance. A tropical wood plank is installed at the bottom to prevent rotting caused by urine and moisture.

A double reinforcement was included in the structure due to the dimensions of the Front.

The rotary feeder system facilitates and optimizes the daily work of caregivers.

The ship has skylights distributed throughout the deck to let in natural light. Although the animals are stabled, increasing natural light inside the stable favors the ovulation of the mares.
