We're looking at running electric down to out ring to install lights for winter riding. Has anyone done this recently and could offer any advice or suggestions?

I did not use for lighted arena. Check this out http://www.horsechannel.com/horse-exclusives/lighting-horse-arena.aspx
I'm thinking of putting arena lights around one arena - any idea about how much that would cost for parts and installation? Do you need an electrician to do it?

My experience is with tennis court complex lighting design. A few things though come to mind... use high quality metal halide. Good efficiency and quality of light (color rendering), set tall poles with good distribution. LED doesn't cover the area, yet, for an arena. A good start as research here....http://www.horsechannel.com/horse-exclusives/lighting-horse-arena.aspx
