What is the size ring you need for a course of say 8? The smallest comfortable size?

Good book FS!
100x200 seems to be a "standard" size but I've always heard people say to build it as big as you can afford. Meaning if you skimp a little here or there to save a few dollars, you'll regret it later.
What do you plan to line or edge the ring with? I was wondering if there was somewhere in the area to get rail road ties relatively cheap?

I think most people prefer it to be fenced in. It does provide a physical and mental barrier for the horse/rider when training.
I personally will probably not fence in mine. The ring is located within a larger perimeter fence so at least if anyone falls off (like me
) the horse cannot get loose to the road.
If a pile of money falls into my lap, I'll fence it it
I will however put in the rail road ties or maybe use 6x6's as a barrier to keep the sand in.

I think that if you own a boarding facility for insurance purposes it does need to be fenced in. Now for personal use I don't think it matters. My riding ring growing up was not fenced in.
