Introducing the New 2025 Lift or Roll Horse Arc – Stronger, Smarter, and Easier to Move!

We’re thrilled to unveil the latest evolution of our much-loved Horse Arc – the all-new 2025 Lift or Roll Horse Arc! Designed with enhanced strength, mobility, and ease of assembly, this cutting-edge model replaces our previous version, delivering superior performance without the need for external thrust bars or complex installation.

What’s New?

This latest model brings significant improvements based on years of engineering innovation and customer feedback. Here’s what makes the 2025 Lift or Roll Horse Arc a game-changer:

✅ Stronger & More Durable – Internal steel bracing replaces external thrust bars, providing unmatched stability and resilience in extreme weather conditions. Tested to withstand winds up to 160 mph, this shelter remains intact even in the toughest storms.

✅ Easier to Move – The Lift or Roll design allows for effortless relocation. No more heavy concrete blocks or external metal bars—simply roll it into position or lift and move as needed.

✅ Flat-Packed for Convenience – The 2025 model now comes flat-packed for easy self-assembly, making delivery and setup more efficient than ever before.

✅ Self-Assembly Model – We have streamlined our service to provide the best value and flexibility for our customers. This means we no longer offer on-site assembly—allowing you to set up your Horse Arc at your convenience.

Why the Change?

The previous Horse Arc model, while beloved, required external thrust bars that needed to be fixed into concrete blocks. This made moving the shelter difficult and often required ground modifications. With the 2025 Lift or Roll model, we’ve eliminated these challenges. The internal bracing system strengthens the structure while allowing it to be fully mobile—giving you more freedom without compromising durability.

Built to Withstand the Elements

Our advanced patented aluminium pre-tensile arches, combined with robust internal steel bracing, create an ultra-strong skeleton designed to withstand impact from horses, livestock, and even hurricane-force winds. In severe weather, the arc may roll, but it is engineered to naturally align with the entrance and can easily be repositioned after the storm.

Horse Arc at Countryfile Live 2017

Horse Arc recently had the pleasure of sheltering Adam Henson's prize winning Highland Cattle at Countryfile Live this year. The family of Highland Cattle enjoyed the shade and sheltered from the rain during the 4 day event at Blenheim Palace. The Horse Arc was sited within the 'Adam's Farm' area of the show and both Arc and cattle were greatly admired by the thousands of visitors attending the event.

The Horse Arc is now enjoying a permanent home at the very popular tourist attraction Cotswold Park Farm where it houses the various cattle within the park.

Thumbs up from University for Horse Arc Field Shelter

Choosing the best mobile field shelter for your horse is a big decision, with a sizeable investment involved for the horse owner. When shopping around for mobile field shelters it helps to read reviews from real customers.
The School of Animal, Rural and Environmental Sciences at Nottingham Trent University, undertook a research project on equestrian field shelters. They included the Horse Arc in their study. The results showed that the horses were safe and happy in the Arcs and it vastly outperformed traditional shelters.

Anna Gregory, Head of the School of Animal, Rural and Environmental Sciences at Nottingham University said "We tested the Horse Arc field shelter for an 18 month period at Brackenhurst Equestrian Centre. We use it primarily for our herd of 5 research ponies who live out all the time. It has been particularly successful due to its open-ended design, the ponies cannot get trapped inside by the more dominant members of the herd. This encourages the meeker ones to use it as they feel safe. Often they will all use it together, some in it and others half way in it. They also shelter from the wind or the sun by standing against it outside. The open-ended design also means the shelter has plenty of natural light, good ventilation and doesn't get hot in the summer."

Anna goes on to say, "When the grass got too much in the summer we put 4 large horses in the field, all over 16.2hh, they used the Arc a great deal for shade, again all in together, and seemed to enjoy letting the 'curtains' blow over them, even the spooky ones! We had no worries of them getting trapped inside and kicked.

"We had some initial worries that the horses might injure themselves on the 'thrust bars', this has proved not to be the case and I have no worries about this now having used the shelter."

The external shape of the Arc has proved particularly resilient to strong winds, the 2 winters we have had the Arc have been very windy but despite a traditional shaped shelter in an adjacent paddock blowing completely over, the Arc has stayed put.

"I would recommend the Horse Arc design as a safe, effective mobile field shelter."

So there you have it, fully tried and tested by the clever horses at NTU and given their stamp of approval. View the full letter of recommendation from the University along with other horse owner testimonials for Horse Arc.
