AERC sanctioned events

AERC sanctioned events are officially recognized competitions organized by the American Endurance Ride Conference, where riders and their horses participate in long-distance endurance rides typically spanning 50 to 100 miles or more. These events are governed by specific rules to ensure fair competition, rider safety, and horse welfare. Participants earn points towards regional and national rankings, and the events promote responsible horsemanship, fitness, and proper training. AERC sanctions help establish standardized standards across events, fostering a safe and competitive environment for endurance riding enthusiasts nationwide.
