Lamplight Equestrian Center Inc

I’ve shown at Lamplight Equestrian Center for several years. They generally have one dressage show a month throughout the summer (from may through September) and this is my preferred show venue. One of the things that absolutely sets Lamplight apart is the arenas. Not only is the footing superb (this past weekend we had lightning delays, and during that time it was pouring rain. Despite the weather, when rides resumed there were no puddles, soft/​inconsistent spots, bogged down footing, etc) but they maintain it wonderfully. Regular breaks for watering and dragging arenas keeps things absolutely wonderful at the dressage shows.
The groundskeepers do a stellar job maintaining everything else. Shavings are always at the stalls prior to my arrival and if you request more, they’re timely in getting those to you. Arenas are picked clean of debris so it doesn’t get dragged into the footing. There’s a number of wash stalls (with cross-​ties, if desired) so you don’t get held up waiting if more than two or three people are trying to hose their horses off at the same time.
A few notes: Water pressure is low at lamplight. I’ve never really had much of an issue with it, but it won’t be immediate if you’re filling up a bucket and other people are using other hoses. It can also impact water pressure when hosing down horses.
Parking can be tight, but it is ample. Depending on your show different areas may or may not be reserved for parking («VIP parking») so that’s not necessarily the facility’s fault — that’s whoever is managing the show. If you’re wondering about this, there’s a big area up top (if approaching from the army trail/​dunham intersection, there’s a driveway prior to the one marked «Lamplight Equestrian Center» that you turn into to get to this parking) that is used for parking. Parking also happens in front of the tent (between barn B and the tent), and then ample parking down by barns C, E, and F. It exists, and if you ask people are more than happy to help you find it — but it might not seem straightforward at first.
Final note:
Lamplight is wheelchair/​handicap accessible. Ramps exist to all viewing pavilions on all the upper arenas (which are shaded and covered in event of rain or sun). Buildings, however, are not wheelchair friendly and there isn’t a handicap-​accessible bathroom.

Lamplight should be and could be a great place however the mgmt. basically ignores the property and does not care about the clients that use the facility…
While we were there for competitions this weekend (June 12 – 14, 2015), the conditions of the driveways and walkways were a disgrace. Not because of the previous rain but the fact the driving and walking areas were covered in giant potholes.
On top of that, the parking conditions at Lamplight are terrible. Proper signage to parking areas does not exist — which is terrible for people visiting Lamplight for the first time.
The area that Lamplight mgmt. claim is their formal parking area again is one of those areas where the ground is in very bad condition. Finding a parking spot is nearly impossible if there is a large event on.
Advice to mgmt. — We were not the only people complaining about the condition of the property — lots of others around the rings were too. Invest some money if you expect people to want to compete and use your location.
