Horse Country Buildings, Proven in Wellington

Wellington is where American equestrian sport spends its winter; the Winter Equestrian Festival and the International Polo Club Palm Beach both call it home, and the villages around it, Loxahatchee and Royal Palm Beach among them, fill out a belt of barns, paddocks, and arena roofs across western Palm Beach County. MBMI’s published work here fits the territory. Deeridge Farms in Wellington took a 40 by 170 foot agricultural storage building, the long, low format that swallows hay, shavings, and equipment rows. Another Wellington customer ordered a 74 by 205 by 16 building for a dressage arena, contacted more than ten companies, and told us afterward that MBMI delivered faster than any of them on a deadline and a limited budget. In Loxahatchee, a 20 by 50 by 16 building keeps a travel trailer out of the weather, and a Royal Palm Beach couple turned a storage and workshop building into an office plus a craft room she is, in the owner’s words, thrilled with. Different scales, same engineering: every frame is designed to the Florida Building Code wind load its parcel draws, with the calculations included for the county plan desk.

Why Equestrian-Belt Owners Choose MBMI

Lessons from four published projects across Wellington, Loxahatchee, and Royal Palm Beach.

205′

Arena-Scale Clear Spans

The Wellington dressage arena runs 74 feet of column-free width down a 205 foot length, so the riding surface stays open end to end. Rigid-frame engineering carries those spans without interior posts, which is the whole point of an arena building.

DL

Deadline Performance

The arena buyer was racing the summer heat with a limited budget, compared more than ten companies, and reported that MBMI delivered faster than any of them. Horse operations run on season calendars, and the schedule is treated as part of the spec.

170′

Farm Storage Formats

Deeridge Farms’ 40 by 170 storage building shows the workhorse format for hay, bedding, and equipment. At the other end of the scale, the Loxahatchee travel-trailer building proves the same framing works on a residential lot.

PBC

Palm Beach County Ready

Western Palm Beach County parcels carry Florida Building Code coastal wind loads despite sitting inland. Engineered drawings and load calculations ship with every building, formatted for the county review process, and our engineering office is in Delray Beach in the same county.

Equestrian-Community Steel Building FAQs

Has MBMI built riding arenas in Wellington, FL?
Yes. A published Wellington customer ordered a 74 by 205 by 16 foot building for a dressage arena and wrote that MBMI delivered faster than any of the ten-plus companies contacted, on a deadline and a limited budget. A second Wellington project, an agricultural storage building at Deeridge Farms, runs 40 by 170 feet.
Which equestrian-area communities does MBMI have published projects in?
Wellington, Loxahatchee, and Royal Palm Beach, all in western Palm Beach County. Wellington has the dressage arena and the Deeridge Farms storage building, Loxahatchee has a 20 by 50 by 16 travel-trailer storage building, and Royal Palm Beach has a combined storage and workshop building with an office and craft room.
How big can a clear-span riding arena go?
The published Wellington dressage arena spans 74 feet of column-free width across 205 feet of length, and our Palm City work includes a 70 by 140 arena with an attached barn. Clear-span rigid frames scale well past those dimensions, so the riding surface stays open regardless of footprint.
What wind loads apply to steel barns in Wellington and Loxahatchee?
Western Palm Beach County falls under Florida Building Code coastal wind provisions even though the equestrian communities sit inland of the beach. We engineer each barn, arena, or storage building to the design load for its specific parcel and include load calculations with the engineered drawings for county plan review.
Can MBMI build hay and equipment storage for a horse farm?
Yes. The Deeridge Farms building in Wellington is agricultural storage, 40 feet wide and 170 feet long at 13 feet of height, which is the long, low format farms use for hay, shavings, equipment, and trailer rows. The Loxahatchee project applies the same idea at residential scale for a travel trailer.
