Horse Facilities

Our Facilities

At Janisa, every detail has been designed with horses and their people in mind. From our beautiful brand-new arena to comfortable stables and safe yards for overnight stays, we’ve created facilities that are practical, welcoming and thoughtfully planned.

If you share our horse-first values and would like to host a clinic or workshop at Janisa, we’d love to hear from you. Find out more information and our enquiry form here.

Float Parking

Our large float parking area allows you to back floats straight up to the horse yards and stables, making arrival and unloading easy. There’s enough space for all floats at a clinic, with a layout that lets you back up comfortably and then drive straight out (no tricky manoeuvring required). For added convenience, there is separate car-only parking available on-site.

Spectator Viewing

Our raised viewing platform sits at the end of the arena, giving you a clear view above the fencing. Equipped with speakers so you can easily follow along with the clinician, and seating provided for comfort, it’s the perfect spot to watch, learn and take notes. The platform is also conveniently backed onto the classroom and kitchenette, making it an easy and welcoming space to spend the day.

Classroom & Kitchenette

Our classroom is a comfortable space for theory sessions to complement time in the arena. With seating and easy access beside the action, it’s a great place to deepen discussions or take a break in comfort.

The adjoining kitchenette includes a fridge, kettle, microwave, and a tea and coffee station, available throughout the day during clinics.
