endurance horse

Endurance horse riding is a competitive sport where horses and riders travel long distances, typically between 50 to 100 miles, over varied terrain within a set time limit. The emphasis is on the horse’s stamina, health, and mental fortitude, as well as the rider's ability to manage the horse and navigate the course. Events often include veterinary checks to ensure the horse's well-being throughout the ride. Endurance riding tests both the horse's physical capabilities and the partnership between horse and rider, celebrating endurance, teamwork, and equine welfare.
