I measured an arena that I am able to make an arena, It measures 43.5ft by 86.25ft..
I was wondering if this was a large enough area for one horse to ride with walk, trot, and canter. No Jumping.
This horse does saddleseat which has a slower rocking chair canter and good footing, he is between 15.3 and 16hh.
That is very, very small. I have a 100' by 120' and I find it on the small side, so it is finally being increased this year by 30', had to redo the fencing so might as well make it bigger, right?

OP, I'd say that area is awfully small to do much. I wouldn't want to do any extensive loping in there, too much torque on the joints from having to lope in too small a circle.
ITA, I wouldn't want to build an arena with the short side any smaller than the width of a standard roundpen (60').
The 20m x 40m NaeNae recommended is realistically the smallest I would consider building.
