Subject: | VSE arena size |
Rule #: | CD-F |
Current Wording: | Diagrams for 20 x 50, 20 x 40, 30 x 75, 30 x 60 dressage arenas |
New Wording: | Delete diagrams for 20 x 50 and 20 x 40. |
Reason for Change: | The arenas do not drive well, particularly the 20 x 40 and these sizes are infrequently used, from what we can see in the Omnibus. Our feedback from VSE competitors is that they do not like them. |
Type of change: | Modify |

June 29, 2018I would be hesitant to remove 20 x 40. We have used it several times. It combines easily with a 40 x 80 arena. Also, as some facilities it is available as ridden dressage arena. It also speeds up the VSE competition compared to the 30 x 60 areana.

August 30, 2018I think Dorenbach has a valid reason in relating to the ridden dressage ring size
Linda Yutzy says :
August 31, 2018Not supported. There is no reason not to leave the option of the 20 x 40. It works in some situations, even if not as often as the 30 x 60.
