Lunging Pens

Perfect Space For Exercising

Purpose Built

MBE Group offers expertly designed and constructed lunging pens, providing a safe, durable, and professional space for horse training and exercise. Our lunging pens are thoughtfully planned to create a controlled environment that supports groundwork, rehabilitation, and daily conditioning. We use high-quality materials throughout — from strong, horse-safe fencing to premium surface options such as silica sand, rubber, or a fibre mix — ensuring excellent stability, traction, and cushioning. These surfaces reduce the risk of slipping or strain, promoting both horse welfare and trainer confidence. Whether part of a private yard or professional facility, MBE Group delivers lunging pens built to last and perform in all weather conditions.

Consultation

At MBE Group, every lunging pen project begins with a thorough consultation to ensure the final build is perfectly suited to your horses, training needs, and site conditions. During the consultation, we assess available space, ground conditions, access, drainage requirements, and fencing preferences. We'll also discuss your ideal surface — whether silica sand, rubber, or a fibre mix — and any additional features such as entry gates or kickboards. Our goal is to design a safe, durable, and functional lunging pen that supports year-round use. With expert advice and attention to detail from the very first step, you can trust MBE Group to deliver a solution tailored to your yard.

PLANNING

In many cases, planning permission may be required for the construction of an equine lunging pen — especially if it involves significant groundworks, permanent fencing, or is located within a protected area such as green belt. Factors such as the size, surface material, drainage, location, and intended use (private or commercial) will all influence whether an application is necessary. At MBE Group, we can advise during your consultation and assist with the full planning process if required — including scaled drawings, site plans, and support with applications to local authorities. Our goal is to ensure your lunging pen is fully compliant and ready for safe, long-term use.

Surfaces

Choosing the right surface is essential for the safety, performance, and longevity of your equestrian lunge pen. At MBE Group, we offer a range of premium surface materials tailored to suit your training needs, climate, and budget. Silica sand is a popular choice for its excellent drainage, consistency, and stability underfoot. For added cushioning and structure, we offer silica sand mixed with fibre, which mimics turf-like conditions and reduces surface movement. Rubber chip provides outstanding shock absorption and is ideal for reducing concussion on joints, particularly in rehabilitation settings. All surface types are installed over a correctly prepared and drained sub-base to ensure year-round usability and minimal maintenance.

Silica Sand

Silica sand is a popular and reliable surface choice for equestrian lunge pens, offering excellent drainage, consistency, and stability underfoot. Its fine, angular grains interlock to provide a secure footing that supports controlled movement and reduces the risk of slipping during lunging, groundwork, and training exercises. When installed over a properly prepared base with suitable drainage, silica sand offers a low-dust, low-maintenance surface that performs well in all weather conditions. At MBE Group, we use high-quality, equestrian-grade silica sand and ensure it is laid to the correct depth and compaction to maximise performance and longevity.

Carpet Fibre

Carpet fibre is an increasingly popular surface choice for lunge pens, valued for its exceptional cushioning, grip, and year-round usability. Made from recycled, equine-safe materials, carpet fibre offers a stable, low-impact footing that supports joint health and reduces surface movement — ideal for groundwork, lunging, and rehabilitation work. Its fibrous structure helps retain moisture and bind the surface, reducing dust and providing consistent traction even in wet conditions. At MBE Group, we install high-quality carpet fibre over a properly prepared sub-base and drainage system to ensure long-lasting performance with minimal maintenance.

Fibre Mix

A fibre mix surface combines high-quality silica sand with synthetic fibres to create a stable, cushioned, and durable footing ideal for lunge pens. This blend improves surface structure by binding the sand particles together, reducing movement and preventing deep tracking. It provides excellent shock absorption and traction, supporting joint health and reducing the risk of slipping — making it ideal for groundwork, schooling, and rehabilitation. The added fibre also helps retain moisture, reducing dust and improving surface consistency in all weather.
