Helpers are welcome to stand behind the rails and provide encouragement. Instruction provided this in carried out discreetly and doesn’t interfere with or distract fellow competitors. Please observe the left-to-left warm up etiquette and remember to look up and be are of fellow competitors. If you are in walk on the track, please give way to all riders in trot and canter (this is the only time the left to left rule is not observed).

Warm up is on a surface directly next to the outdoor competition arena.
