Hi all, if anyone could give me some assistance with a few tags that
would be great. I'm trying to get St Ives showground mapped
( http://osm.org/go/uYqBCJiO6- ). I can do about 45 minutes of wandering
around there every few weeks, so it is slowly getting better.

There are a couple of things it has, which I don't know how to tag. Or I
think I know, but the tags used have long been abandoned on the wiki.

I took photos today, so I would have something to ask about. If they are
useful enough to go on the wiki, then I'm happy for them to be licensed
whatever. Don't count on this url being available in a month though.

1) A dog training area. The best I can see is: sport=dog_training
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Dog_training

2-3)  Model plane flying field. The best I can see is:
sport=model_aerodrome
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Model%27s_Aerodrome

4) Horse saddling thing. I don't really know what this would be called.
There are a couple around the place, most are on concrete.

5) Horse exercise area. This is what they call it on the map (which I
forgot to photograph). 

According to the wiki for sport=equestrian:

"Equestrianism, sports involving the skill of riding or driving horses.
Often associated internationally with show jumping and dressage, but
also including endurance riding, eventing, reining, tent pegging,
vaulting, polo, horse racing, driving, rodeo and more."

But this seems to throw away a whole lot of information if I just tag it
as sport=equestrian, because it looks nothing like the actual equestrian
centre just to the north of it.

I'm happy to leave it tagged as sport=equestrian though.

6) ???? This was a fenced off thing, which might have been a scaled
topographic map of the area... but I'm not really sure.

7) Remote control car racing. Currently tagged as leisure=track
sport=rc_car_racing ... I'm fairly sure this one is wrong :)

Any assistance appreciated.

Andy
