Working Dressage
20 × 40 Against 20 × 60, to Scale
The Working Dressage arena is the short one. The long arena beside it is the Olympic dressage arena — it belongs to no Working Equitation rulebook, and stands here only as the shape most riders already carry in their eye.

Working Dressage
20 × 40 m
The rectangle the Working Dressage test is ridden in. Both rulebooks set the same figure.
WAWE · International — 20 × 40 m Portugal · APSL — 20 × 40 m
Olympic dressage — not a Working Equitation arena
20 × 60 m
The Olympic dressage arena. No Working Equitation rulebook sets it. It is drawn here only as the reference the shorter arena is measured against.
WAWE · International — does not set this arena Portugal · APSL — does not set this arena
Twenty metres less, on the same width — less distance between one question and the next.
The two rectangles above are drawn to one common scale, so the difference is measured, not implied. Both are 20 m wide; only the length changes.
