Riding Arenas & Rodeo
Douglas County Fair Grounds Arena – Gardnerville, Nevada
Getting Started
Whether you’re adding new lights, upgrading existing lights with LED technology, or looking for temporary lighting, Musco can make your project happen.
We’ll help guide you through the process of designing a high-quality lighting system that’s good for your budget and the environment—with solutions tailored to the needs of riders, spectators, and facility staff while protecting neighbors and the night sky.
We’ll even work with you to navigate the available purchasing methods and funding options, including cooperative contracts and custom financing, to remove any financial barriers.
Planning & Design
Get the Project You Want
Planning your project begins with asking the right questions. Given the unique dimensions of your arena, seating capacity, riding discipline, proximity to neighbors, and other factors, we’ll discover:
- How much light do you need and how evenly should it be distributed?
- Are there neighboring homes or wildlife—today or in the future?
- Would spectators enjoy light shows and color-changing lights?
Custom Designed for Rodeos & Riding Arenas
Well-designed sports lighting systems improve the experience for riders, spectators, and neighbors by addressing specific challenges for rodeo arenas and equestrian events, like:
- Ensuring proper visibility in the ring, warm-up, chutes, animal holding areas, and bleachers.
- Eliminating glare and shadows that can distract riders and spook animals.
Proper lighting also improves visitors’ safety and security in bleachers, entrances, exits, and parking lots.
Streamlined Installation
We’ll help ensure your arena lighting is installed on time and on budget, with minimal hassles or unanticipated costs:
- Detailed scope of work.
- Experienced project management.
- Complete system design—integrated lighting, structural, and electrical components.

Trouble-Free Maintenance and Support
Because no lighting system is truly maintenance-free, make sure to think about the service and warranty details that make a difference throughout the lifetime of your system and ensure your arena is event-ready.
- Warranty—Does the manufacturer cover parts and labor costs for up to 25 years? Do they have financial reserves dedicated to supporting warranty fulfillment?
- Routine Maintenance & Service—Who pays for it, and who’s available to help?
- System Monitoring—Does the manufacturer proactively monitor for outages and other issues?
- Support—What kind of troubleshooting support is provided, and on what schedule?
