Trailer Parking: Shortly after you enter NEECA, there is a sign to take a left to park your trailer. Please
park only in that lot, allowing space for others. There is a porta potty on the right in the parking area
near a trail. Please pick up your trash and clean up after your horse – either take home or take
wheelbarrow to manure area.
Car Parking: If there is just one car with your trailer, they can park next to you. If there are multiple cars
and it is more crowded, please park in the Spectator Parking Lot, which is past the Trailer Parking on the
right. There will not be any parking allowed next to the main arena, where the tests will be ridden.
Warm-Up Area: There is a designated Warm-Up Ring that can be used. If you ride your horse out of the
Parking Area and take a left, the ring will be shortly on your left.
Main Arena for Tests/Size of Ring:
Training Test 3 and First Level tests will be ridden first in the standard arena – 20 meters x 60 meters.
Introductory level tests and Training Tests 1 and 2 will be ridden next in the smaller arena – 20 meters x
40 meters. We will adjust the size of the ring during a break after the other riders.
Bathrooms: There is a porta potty near the trailer area and another one across from the Main
Arena.
