Horse Arc mobile field shelter - NEW 2025 model - now even tougher

Horse Arc - strong, mobile, safe

Easier to Move – Engineered to Withstand the Elements

Gale-Proof Design – Built to Stand Strong
Our newly enhanced 2025 Lift or Roll Horse Arc is designed to resist the most extreme weather conditions. Featuring internal steel bracing, the arc remains structurally sound even when hit with winds up to 160 mph.

Wind-Resistant Innovation – Simulated tests show the arc stays intact, even as ground anchors may shift. Instead of collapsing, it is designed to roll safely and naturally align with the entrance, making it easy to reposition after the storm.

Unmatched Durability – Engineered to withstand flying debris, heavy impact, and even charging livestock.

Effortless Recovery – After extreme weather, simply flip the arc back and re-anchor it—ready to shelter again.

A serious engineering concept han build to order and worth every penny

The truly mobile field shelter

Flat-packed for self-assembly

No planning permission required

Easy to move

The Horse Arc is a mobile field shelter; it does not have a permanent base and planning permission is generally not required. Your arc will be delivered flat-packed for self-assembly.

Arcs are lighter and easier to move than traditional field shelters.
We don't just term the Horse Arc as mobile to get around planning consent, it's both feasible and practical to move it. This means that you can use a single shelter and move its location when you rotate your grazing.

Designed to withstand harsh weather

A shelter that withstands wind and weather

Guaranteed for 10 years

Snow and rain slips off

The arc shape allows rain and snow to roll off rather than collect and saturate the surface. The aerodynamics of the arc are far better than a square structure, allowing the wind to roll over the arc rather than hit a flat surface square on. This reduces the risk of wind damage in severe weather. The Horse Arc has withstood 120mph winds without damage, so they are ideal for exposed areas.

Quality as standard

Built with qualilty materials

20mm pressure treated cladding

Kick boards

Thrust bars for extra strength

Raised on Eco Grid blocks

Your arc will arrive on a flatbed trailer 6.2m (L) x 2m wide. Please ensure you have adequate access for this.
Your flat-packed arc will include everything you need other than the optional ground anchors.
You will receive simple, easy to follow instructions and telephone support is available if needed.
Estimated build time for two people:
Medium 6hrs
Large 8hrs
XL 10 hrs

Lengths of treated weatherboard cladding are fixed to the arches and finished with a PVC ridge strip secured to the apex. The cladding is extra thick (20mm) to give the Arcs strength and a long lifespan.

The arc is stood on Eco Grid blocks, which protects it from the ground, making your arc last even longer. Exterior grade plywood kickboards and top rails are then fitted inside the arc to help withstand knocks and kicks from horses. The Arcs are finished with hay net rings fitted to the inside.

A safe and natural shelter

Saves space and money

Allows horses to stay together

Horse Arcs have so many advantages over traditional field shelters. They are ideal for horses living out 24/7 and offer great value for money if you have multiple horses.

As horses are flight animals, they are happier in spaces where they can exit quickly. Horse Arcs allow horses to relax and play in and around the Arc together. Horses who previously refused to use a field shelter have taken to a Horse Arc quite easily. The Arcs also allow fresh air to circulate and let in plenty of light.

Beautiful and elegant
