Double B Arena-- Owners

Lee Bob, Renea and Ramsey Bolling

Greenfield, Iowa

OUR FACILITY

We are located in SW Iowa (about 50 minutes SW of Des Moines). Our facility has an indoor arena 120'x200' with roping chute and runback alley. The actual arena size is 100x200' (there is a 20' overhang where you can come in on your horse - or sit in bleachers, etc) By fall we will have constructed our new announcers stand and concession stand inside. The ground is EXCELLENT and we offer both a center alley (run in) and a side gate entrance to the arena.

Our outdoor arena is 100x300'. It also includes roping boxes and a runback alley for cattle. There is also a round-pen available for use next to the outdoor arena.

Still under construction at this time are the restrooms and electrical hook-ups, and more rocked areas for parking, which we hope to have completed by fall 2003.
