What is Woodlands Stables like for affiliated dressage? Its in Chingford, London. Any views on location, venue, arenas etc?
 
used to be fantastic, one out door arena to warm up in then another for tests plus indoor for second lot of test. one outdoor quite near road but horses not seem to care x
 
If it has been raining the warm up can be pretty deep. The indoor is quite nice although there is some "string" that goes around the outside of the indoor arena... if that makes sense!! Think the indoor is just a tad bigger than needed hence the "string" but does not seem to bother horses. Always appeared friendly people. Parking can be tight.
 
As siad the warm up is deep.

The outdoor can be a little deep too.

The indoor is great, has the center line markers hanging from the ceiling

Also, mirrors. Judge sits above you.

Parking is tight and Mrs Jenner is very strict about how you park. No unloading to tack up as you are v close to lorry next door.

Even so, I like it there a lot.

Oh, and the driveway's a bit tight.
 
I've competed there for a friend and loved the venue, so much so, that I would travel all the way down from Leicestershire to compete there.....
