Techniques in the round pen have varied, but a similar theme has survived through the millennia. Round pens have been constructed of many different materials: logs, planks, stones or even tires. They have varied in size. I have seen round pens 30 feet (approx.10 meters), and I have seen round pens 150 feet (approx. 50 meters) in diameter. On Flag Is Up Farms I built my round pens of solid plank walls approximately 8 feet high. I used a diameter measurement of 50 feet (approx. 16 meters). This is the optimum size for normal saddle horses of 14 to 16 hands.
