A Horse Riding Manege or Dressage Arena is usually marked around the edge with letters. In the Riding lesson or during a Dressage test this enables instructions to be given as to when to perform a particular action.
Arena sizes may vary but the standard size is 40 metres by 20 metres. The picture below shows the location of the letters that denote a particular point in the arena. The letters in red show the normal lettering. The letters in orange are additional letters used for larger arenas. Although there may be physical markers around the edge of the arena, there are no markers to identify G, X or D and so these must be memorised.
