Riding options
Doverwood has three arenas. The large indoor and outdoor arenas are lettered for dressage and are equipped with jump standards and poles. The smaller of the two indoor arenas is a good place for a quiet ride and groundwork.
Weather permitting, riders are also welcome to hack around the farm grounds and around the half-mile training track.
