Arena Etiquette
Riders always * always * always pass left shoulder to left shoulder when approaching one another.
Slower horses or fussy horses, always are kept on a track just inside of the main flow of traffic from the outside arena track. Say, 12' inside of the arena track.
Always look behind and beside you BEFORE you give your horse the commands to stop or to back or to turn into the center of the arena.
