In dressage, a precisely measured arena is used, and it is labeled at various points with letters to help the rider and the judge be more precise in what they are doing. If you drew a line down the center of a dressage arena - the long way - that is the centerline.
Horses most commonly used in dressage competitions are light breeds, such as the Thoroughbred or any of the variety of warmbloods (Hanoverian, Irish Sport Horse, Oldenburg, etc.) More heavy-set horses are used less frequently for dressage. It is rare to see a draft horse (Clydesdale, Percheron, Shire, etc) competing in dressage, although every horse can learn the basics behind dressage.
No dressage is not timed
most arenas have sand for the bass but in dressage such as a gymkhana for pony club it can be just grass.
you cannot use any kind of boots on your horse while showing in dressage.
no not really there are saddlebreds as dressage horses but that is not there best areaI think they are ok at it. I mean some have great gates for it. :)
The line that runs down the center of a dressage arena is called the Centerline.
Dressage is definitely a sport. It is ridden all around the world and has it's own spot for competition in the Olympics.

Dressage

The point of dressage is to test the behaviour of the horse. Many well trained dressage horses will/can get higher points in shows. Dressage is a very, very hard sport. Both horse and rider must coperate with each other. Look up Anky Van Grunsven in Google or Yahoo.
Dressage is an equestrian sport. It can be done on its own or as part of three-phase eventing, which consists of dressage, cross-country and show jumping (stadium jumping).

Sport horses are most oftenly seen the dressage ring--that includes namely Warmbloods, Hanovarians, Oldenburgs, and Thoroughbreds. However, any horse can do lower level dressage (my personal favorite is the Arabian, although those are rare in the show ring).
