About Ridesafe

Our Story

Building Safe, High-Quality Equestrian Arenas

Ridesafe Arenas & Construction was founded by Neil Harper, a seasoned professional with over 25 years of experience in the equestrian industry. Supported by his wife, Sallie, the business has remained a family-run enterprise, continuously driven by their commitment to the equestrian community. Together, with their experienced team, Neil and Sallie have built Ridesafe on the core belief that every rider deserves a space where they can confidently train, ride, and care for their horses.

Over the years, Ridesafe has perfected its craft, delivering arenas that meet high aesthetic standards while prioritising safety and functionality. Their dedication to excellence has earned them a strong reputation, supported by Neil’s industry knowledge and Sallie’s hands-on approach.
