Supposed to be doing dressage there on Sunday & I've never been. Might stick to Novice if it is deep. Thanks

Depends...how big is your horse, you might want to duck at certain points if your horse is partial to going up

I have a 16.3hh WB but he is long as well - big stride, oh and he has been known to rear.....

If the same as last year then it's still tiny! Maybe not so bad if not trying to warm up for SJ though. Never really noticed it as that deep - probably concentrating more on trying not to run over spectators walking down the side!

Small dark warm up arena, only let 8 in at a time for sj, dont think 8 would be able to manage to warm up for dressage without bumping into each other

Its not that small !! what are you riding a elephant.....
The warn up is not massive, but we regulary compete there and never have a problem, yes they do only allow 8 iin the warm up, but that's gives you plenty of room, the main indoor arena is a decent size too, I wouldnt be put off by the other replies, infact if you go on you tube and search Moorhouse equestrain centre there is some videos on there

i have ridden there for a few years and find the warm up ring really narrow, and cramped when horses are in, not too bad when it's just ponies. the main arena tends to be deeper going than the warm up, and it is quite dark, but with it being just down the road from me it's quite handy!

The warm up is about 15m wide - you cant ride a decent 20m circle in it and its probably about 30m long. I've never noticed it being deep, its just dark and quite spooky. The main arena is a bit brighter and lots bigger but again quite spooky, the worse bit is getting from the warm up into the main arena, fairly low roof if your on a big horse and narrow entrance. A great place to practice though cause if you can get your horse round Moorhouse nicely I reckon they'll go well anywhere. I was going to go on Sunday but have opted for Westfield Park instead this time!
