This would be a morgan/Saddle bred/Fjord.
When we lived in California, I had an outdoor arena that was 60x130 (with rounded ends---and it took 3 days of bulldozing to carve out that much "flat" space, on our steeply sloped property). It was barely big enough in which to drive my 11.2hh donkey. We did a few riding lessons there with our Fjords---walk/trot, only, as it was rather cramped for them. I would consider that size of arena to be too small to do much driving with full-sized horses---you'll spend too much time turning.
