Is an arena this size big enough?

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.

Is this a large enough area?

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?

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.
