Comment by Kinni P on November 17, 2009 at 9:11am - We're having arena problems here too. Please be careful. A couple of weeks ago I went riding in what I thought was a dry enough turf arena. There was still enough moisture under the surface to cause my horse to lose his footing and we both ended up on the ground. I looks like you've got a swell bunch there. Best of luck to you all!

Thank you for your advice. I only teach at this particular yard once a week so don't have much influence on what is being done with the horses for other 6 days but we do try our best to be as horse friendly as possible and my clients are a fantastic bunch of people.
Arena problem...apparently it is something to do with the water level underneath the arena, there used to be a lake there I am told! I have no say in this matter at all but will suggest digging the soak. I've just added a photo of the arena as it looked on Sunday morning.
Thank you again for the comment.

The late medieval nobility turned dressage into a sport by giving public demonstrations of "horse ballets" to wow the commoners during public celebrations. They would do airs above the ground as well as movements on the ground. The late medieval kni…
