Question 1

What are dressage arena letters used for?

Accepted Answer

Dressage, the French word for training, is a form of horse riding performed in exhibitions, competitions, and training. It focuses on the mastery of memorized movements and patterns in a calm, controlled manner by both horse and rider. Dressage has been around for centuries, in various forms, as noted by the Greek military leader and historian Xenophon in early 300 BC. Modern dressage has evolved from the Renaissance publications in the 1500s. It is an equestrian sport at all levels, from amateur competition to the Olympics. Dressage arena lettering is used to mark the arena, so the rider and judges know where each maneuver will be executed. The dressage letters for an arena do not follow an alphabetical pattern and must be memorized, often using popular mnemonics.

Question 3

What are the best arena letters for dressage arenas?

Accepted Answer

Depending on what arena letters you would like for your dressage arena, there’s room for customization. You can use letters that are attached to walls, hung on rails or flower boxes, letters that stand independently, and more. Regarding quality, Premier Equestrian manufactures and sells the finest dressage letters for arenas. Letters are silk screened on a special UV-treated material to prevent cracking, breaking, fading, or shattering, so they’ll last for years.

Question 4

Should I use flower boxes for my arena?

Accepted Answer

This comes down to preference. Dressage flower boxes offer more room to add foliage and color to a dressage arena compared to the Berkshire and Tower dressage letters. However, flower boxes aren’t required. A benefit of Premier Equestrian flower boxes is that the letters can be detached easily so the flower box can be used for other purposes.

Question 5

How many arena letters do I need for my arena?

Accepted Answer

This depends on the size of your arena. If you have a 20 x 40 meter arena, you’ll want a set of eight dressage arena letters (A, K, E, H, C, M, B, F). If you have a 20 x 60 meter arena, also known as a standard-size dressage arena, you’ll want a set of 12 dressage arena letters (A, K, V, E, S, H, C, M, R, B, P, F).
