We design and build exceptional equestrian facilities nationwide, providing everything from planning and engineering to premium materials and construction. Every facility is thoughtfully engineered around horse and rider wellness, blending sustainable design, innovative structural solutions, and uncompromising craftsmanship to create environments built to perform for generations.
Too often, equestrian facilities are treated as standard construction projects, with design, engineering, and materials fragmented across multiple vendors, leaving critical decisions to people who don’t fully understand the horse. At Silver Trophy Equine, we take a different approach, bringing every aspect of the project together through equestrian-led design, engineering, and construction.
Every design decision, from footing and roof systems to acoustics and ventilation, is evaluated through a unified lens: what do both horse and rider need to thrive, train safely, and perform at their best?
We don't just plan training spaces; we help shape the property where your grandchildren will ride. Exceptional structural engineering, microclimate resilience, and uncompromising material longevity are our baseline standards.
C2C certified and LEED point eligible. Engineered for clean air, climate protection, and water and soil stewardship, utilizing fire-resistance-rated steel and eco-conscious architectural covers.
Brings together a specialized network of architects, engineers, fabricators, and structural specialists, who are all dedicated equestrians themselves.
“We design purposeful, low-stress environments that elevate training, protect horse wellness, and endure through structural integrity.”
Silver Trophy Equine is a premier equestrian design consultation and curation firm delivering world-class facility solutions nationwide. Founded by lifelong equestrian Tricia Marbain, we bridge the critical gap between traditional engineering and equine behavior.
By serving as your expert advocate and visionary guide, we connect you with an elite network of independent architects, master structural engineers, and specialist fabrication crews to curate sustainable, fire-resistant environments engineered explicitly for horse wellness and elite athletic performance.
Traditional covered arenas are often loud, hot, and usually planned and designed without much thought for the horses inside.
"Our high-performance material configuration delivers exceptional environmental safety and structural fire resistance."
Advanced, fire-rated structural components that meet and exceed rigorous fire safety standards, fully protecting your horses, your investment, and your entire property footprint.
The advanced webbed membrane structure dramatically dampens rain, wind, and ambient structural noise, delivering the deep tranquility that horses need to train, focus, and trust their rider.
Engineered to integrate smoothly with global sustainability tracking. Our materials align with Cradle to Cradle certified pathways and contribute directly toward regional LEED point eligibility.
Diffused, glare-free daylight filters naturally through the multi-component material. Optimized ventilation designs prevent the “sauna effect,” keeping the arena cool and the air crisp year-round.
Engineered free of many heavy metals, toxic PVC plastics, or chemical off-gassing, ensuring adjacent grazing pastures and local watershed networks remain protected from toxic runoff.
Engineered with the specialized logistics, material supply chains, and elite subcontractor networks required to deliver signature equestrian spaces across the country and select international locations.
High-end private estate layouts curated for discerning horse owners. From luxury private stables to bespoke backyard training properties, we consult on elegant private configurations tailored to the precise lifestyle of the private collector.
Scalable, heavy-duty facility layouts for commercial boarding operations, professional breeding stables, and premier equestrian training venues. Engineered for multi-use longevity, structural durability, and seamless operational traffic flow.
We do not operate as standard commercial project managers or general contractors. Instead, we serve as your expert guide to introduce and connect your vision with a prestigious, highly vetted network of independent equine architects, master structural engineers, and specialized material fabricators.
Premium covered arenas and barn designs tailored to your specific riding discipline. We provide high-level design consulting on specialized interior layouts, advanced webbed membrane structures, architectural stalls, and specialized glare-free illumination systems.

Silver Trophy Equine serves as your expert design consultant and visionary guide, rather than a general contractor or commercial project manager. We help you establish the foundational layout and performance standards for your dream facility. To execute the physical build, we directly introduce and connect you with a prestigious network of independent professionals, including specialized equine architects, master structural engineers, and elite fabrication crews. These independent specialists are engaged by the client directly, allowing each highly vetted team member to personally own, execute, and stand accountable for their respective phase of your project.
Traditional, low-grade fabric roofs are often synonymous with harsh plastic composites, trapped heat, and loud structural flapping that easily spooks performance horses. Our advanced, engineering-grade webbed membrane systems stand 180 degrees apart. Engineered from a proprietary multi-component material entirely distinct from standard PVC plastics, our roofing system delivers complete acoustic tranquility and thermal equilibrium. By eliminating the intense “sauna effect” and echoing vibrations common in traditional metal or cheap fabric builds, this light-filled environment naturally optimizes horse respiration, protects joint wellness, and prevents dangerous spooking during high-intensity training.
We prioritize a rigorous, environmentally responsible standard that sets our architectural membrane systems apart from standard market builders. Rather than making generic eco-friendly claims, we focus on verified material performance. Our advanced structural systems are engineered to achieve Cradle to Cradle (C2C) certification pathways and contribute directly toward regional LEED point eligibility. This framework prioritizes fire-resistant, smoke-optimized construction components engineered entirely free of harmful heavy metals or toxic PFAS forever chemicals. This strict environmental mindfulness ensures that surrounding grazing pastures, livestock nutrition, and local watershed networks are actively protected from the hazardous chemical runoffs common in traditional roofing materials.
Silver Trophy Equine delivers premier design consultation and architectural structural systems nationwide, with scaling capabilities to serve select international developments. Our consultative reach, material supply logistics, and elite subcontractor network span coast-to-coast, guiding active luxury projects across the country. While our operational footprint is entirely national, our headquarters remain proudly anchored in Chester County, Pennsylvania, widely recognized as a premier international epicenter for professional equestrian athletes and world-class equine infrastructure. This dual focus allows us to infuse prestigious East Coast design standards into elite private estates and commercial facilities regardless of your property’s physical location.
While our high-performance webbed membrane systems are a premier signature offering, our design consultation and structural sourcing span a comprehensive architectural range. We routinely guide clients through the conceptual planning of traditional steel-framed developments and custom timber wood structures. Whether your vision requires an advanced engineering-grade membrane training arena, a heavy-duty steel commercial facility, or a classic luxury wood barn, we connect you with specialized fabricators and master engineers equipped to execute the specific materials your property demands.
