ERECTING AN ARENAThe secret is to get the first corner square.Using a 30m or longer tape, mark one long side.From the starting point corner standard, mark 4m or multiple of eg 20m.At right angle mark 3m (or 15m).The measurement between should be 5m (or 25m). Adjust the 3m (or 15m) marker until it does. This givesa square corner.Continue the 3m (or 15m) line to 20m and insert the corner standard. Mark the 2m gateway.Measure the other two sides to meet the fourth corner.Before removing the tape, place the other standards in the ground.Run the rope around the arena.Letters should be placed half a meter back from the rope, with A as far back as possible.
Arena 20m x 40m
Arena 20m x 60m
DRESSAGE ARENA LETTERSTo help you to remember the letters the following sentences may assist you. Go around in an anticlockwise manner.Short ArenaCenter line from far end of arena;Gosh eXclaimed Dad, A Fat Black Mother Cat Had Eight Kittens.Long ArenaA Fat Pale Black Restless Mother Cat Had Sixty Eight Velvety Kittens!Or use the short arena letters and insert RSVP starting between B and M (RSVP is found on the bottom ofmost formal invitations and is the French equivalent of, reply if you please).I and L are on the center line.I is between S and R and spells SIR.This leaves L to fill the gap between V and P.ARENA ERECTION TIPIf the arena is measured accurately once and all corners and letter positions are marked with insulationtape, the arena can be erected quickly in future for general use, (not for Championship days if absoluteaccuracy is required).QUICK METHODMeasure gateway and insert standards. Attach one end of the rope to one side and insert first corner atthe appropriate marker and in line. Run the rest of the rope out around the arena in approximate placeand attach to the other side of the gateway.Line up gateway and insert the second corner standard, on the marker.Two people go to the far corners, attach the rope to the standards on the corner markers and pull the ropetight and square. Insert corner standards.Stand at C and a quick check looking towards the gateway will tell you if the arena is square.Carefully insert the other standards ensuring the rope is not moved off line.
EXPLAINATION OF DRESSAGE LEVELSLEVEL 1These tests are for inexperienced riders or green horses and approximately equate to Pony Club ‘D’ leveland NZPCA Beginner Riding Tests (2001)The tests include 20m trot circles; free walk on long rein and canter around the arena.Horses should go forward calmly, willingly and freely, in walk, trot and canter.Lesser emphasis should be placed on outline, bend or acceptance of the bridle.Movements and transitions should be approximately on the marker.The horse should circle willingly and halt and stand still when asked.Correctly applied aids and the horse’s reaction to them are important. For example a transition to canteron the wrong lead is better than no canter.All transitions may be progressive.Fall of rider/horse is Elimination.If the ridden horse leaves the arena with all four feet before completion of the test, there will be no marksfor that movement and the appropriate error will be given, but the combination may resume the testwithin two minutes, thus avoid elimination.If horse and rider leave the arena other than through the gateway on completion of the test, theappropriate course error will be given.
EXPLAINATION OF DRESSAGE LEVELSLEVEL 2These tests approximately equate to Pony Club ‘C’ Level and NZPCA Junior Riding Tests (2001).The tests include 5m loop walk; 10m half circles walk; 5m loop trot; 10m half circle trot and down centreline; 20m canter circle.Horses should accept the bridle, show some bend on circles, and start to show rhythm.Halts should be held but do not need to be square.Transitions may be progressive.Riders should use correct diagonals in trot.Movements and transitions should be approximately on the marker.Fall of rider/horse is Elimination.If the horse leaves the arena with all four feet before the completion of the test it will be eliminated.If the horse and rider leave the arena other than through the gateway on completion of the test, they willbe eliminated.

If the major resistance continues throughout the testthen it will be penalised heavily under Submission.Fall of rider/horse is Elimination.If the ridden horse leaves the arena, with all four feet before the completion of the test it will beeliminated.If the horse and rider leave the arena other than through the gateway on completion of the test, they willbe eliminated.
