IN THE BEGINNING:

The concept of Equestrian Land Developments was formed, following a request from a family friend to build an Equestrian Arena. From there, the first ELD Spec. Arena; consisting of Base Layer, Blinding Layer and Surface with Sleeper Surrounds, was constructed. Through world of mouth business grew and Equestrian Land Developments Pty Ltd was formed as a company in mid-2000. Since inception ELD has constructed, on average, one arena per week for over 20 years.

Todd Cunningham, founder and director of ELD, has spent most of his life around horses. Todd’s father was Master Farrier, Claye Cunningham. Growing up on a horse property with spelling stables which accommodated up to 120 horses at any one time, has allowed Todd to gain knowledge, not only regarding the mechanics of the horse but also what is required as far as property layout and design to ensure safety and the health of the horse. On leaving the farm, Todd pursued a career in earthmoving. Whilst travelling in his 20’s Todd worked in underwater excavation, built roads in places all around the world and eventually returned home. It was then the opportunity emerged to combine his background in Horses and his experience in Earthworks.

Today, with over 25 years of experience, Todd has supervised a wide spectrum of construction projects both in Australia and overseas.
