Equidome, Indoor equestrian arena in Burbank, California, US
The Equidome is a large covered riding arena designed to accommodate equestrian competitions and events, located within a broader equestrian center near the Los Angeles River. The facility features seating for spectators and a spacious competition floor.
The Equidome was built in 1982 as the covered arena of the Los Angeles Equestrian Center, a complex set in a separate section of Griffith Park across the Los Angeles River from the main park and the Los Angeles Zoo. Its 45,000 square feet of floor space made it the center's main competition ring for equestrian shows, dressage and rodeos.
Each year the Equidome hosts Equestfest, staged by the Pasadena Tournament of Roses at year's end so the public can see the equestrian units of the Rose Parade before they ride on New Year's Day. The Fiesta of the Spanish Horse, an equestrian show, raises awareness and funds for cancer research.
The arena sits on Riverside Drive beside the Los Angeles River, in the small section of Griffith Park separated from the main park and the Los Angeles Zoo. Its 45,000 square feet of floor space hold 3,500 seats, so check which event is running before travelling, since equestrian shows, dressage, rodeos and occasional concerts alternate.
An annual festival held here combines equestrian performances with charitable fundraising for medical research. This event draws horse enthusiasts while supporting important community causes.
