So I am pretty happily back in the 80s when it comes to sound savvy.  I do have a computer and a smartphone. I want to be able to wire the arena for sound so I can play while I ride. What do I need to consider? |

Loudspeakers at opposite corners pointed {on a diagonal} toward each other is how one of the farms I worked at had theirs....
A PA system was used during horse shows to call out judges directives for flat classes so all could hear in the ring....
Other than that....not a clue!
If it is a covered or indoor and you are building it....speakers in the ceiling, many of them and a great receiver with power a plenty in "watts"....
Non-contained music or sound dissipates very easily and quickly outdoors... you need to allot for lost acoustics or walls if you really want to hear music when you ride...might I suggest headphones.
Personally, I like to hear my horses cadence {hoof beats} if I am really working on something.....a steady pattern of footfalls tells me a lot of information or how wrong we are proceeding.

Speakers do not have to be up in the eaves. for great sound. now the speakers come with the boom box and if installed properly you only need 4 speakers. and a base unit for the music. of course dvd's and tapes must be played, and made for individual taste. make sure the wiring is not hanging where a loose horse can grab it.

We have a old radio in the barn that only plays radio stations. It is on during the night. We noticed that horses are more relaxed when nice music is on. For your question I am no help, but I love your idea.
