Dressage venue preference. Mount Ballan or Sparsholt

[Notimetoride]

I know i have posted similar posts to this before but thought id re-post to see if i get get more advice. I cant decide whether to do MB or Sparsholt. I know they are probably very difference venues with very different feels. I have visited MB as a spectator and was amazed at the vastness of the main arena. Does anyone have a preference between the two venues ?

Mount ballan purely because it's my childhood playground and I could bring you cake and visit my folks i one trip

Sorry...not very helpful but I do think the space at MB is good for most horses. X

yeah my funny one seems to take confidence from not having to be squashed up against banners etc and having horses in the arenas next door The surface is better since they re-did it and there are also a good few warm up arenas so hopefully not too rammed.

Never been to Sparsholt, sorry

Not been to Sparsholt for normal BD but went to their festival. Arenas nicely dressed some horses found it exciting fortunately mine didn't. Main thing that puts me off is lorry park slippery Tarmac. Don't like unloading onto it. Never BD'd at Mount Ballan.
