I quite agree! We did obedience and it was wonderful to have the conformation and obedience rings so close, but without excessive noise and distractions.

Huge ring, doubling on FOUR SIDES , virtually dust free stalls, and if the arena gets dusty a quick opening of the immense doors solves it. Plenty of vendor room , right next to the third turn, so you MUST go by...awesome. Cushy seats for the reserved seating. Stalls are concrete with thick rubber mats= no dust. Or if you like , shavings to potty your dogs.. also HUNDREDS of grassy acres....no stepping in poo/ pee. Minutes from hotels, and Ft Collins is a great college town with lots of shopping for those with the time and great restaurants. Beautiful drive from the west. It gets my vote...PAWS DOWN.
