One of the most unique aspects of the AEL is that riders leave the show with a set of written comments from the judge about their performance, letting them know what they are doing well and what they still need to work on.

The Equestrian Center is a 526,440 square foot building containing two show arenas (150’x300’ floor size), one with 4,500 fixed seats plus 10 suites and one with 500 fixed seats, two warm-up paddocks leading directly into the show arenas, two additional open-sided connected warm-ups and a barn with 800+ stalls, wash racks, restrooms, officesand meeting rooms. The building will be equipped with production equipment including camera drops, production lights and screens.
