Are there letters on the quarter line in a dressage arena?

16.February, 2009

For some reason, I have a recollection that there are letters along the quarter line in a [regulation size] dressage arena. Am I just making this up or not? I can’t seem to find the information anywhere, but if anyone knows that there are letters, can you tell me what and where they are?
Thanks a ton!

There are no letters for the quarter lines, however, there are actually 5 letters that go down the centerline of a standard arena, not just three.

Maybe that is what you were thinking of?

From A to C the letters of the centerline are;
D, L, X, I, G

So the standard arena consists of these letters

C

H G M

S I R

E X B

V L P

K D F

A

I tried to format that all nice but it didn’t work =(

    The quarter lines run straight down the arena lengthwise, halfway between the rail and the centerline on either side. There are no letters indicating the position of the quarter lines.

    Lol you must be imagining something.

    No, there are no letters signifying the quarter lines. They are just acknowledged as halfway between the center line and the long side of the arena.

    There are, however, letters marking the center line of a dressage arena, D-X-G. Maybe you were thinking of those letters?

    hope this helps :)

    EDIT: yeah, I'm sorry, D-X-G is for a small arena which is 20m by 40m. D-L-X-I-G is the center line for a standard dressage arena, or 20m by 60m. I've only ridden in the small arena, so I totally forgot there are more letters. ha!
