endurance horse riding

Endurance horse riding is a long-distance equestrian sport where horse and rider compete to complete set distances, typically ranging from 25 to 100 miles in a single day. The focus is on stamina, fitness, and the partnership between horse and rider. Races are held on varied terrain and include veterinary checkpoints to ensure the horse's health and well-being throughout the event. Successful endurance riding requires careful training, strategic pacing, and proper nutrition for both the horse and rider. It emphasizes the horse's ability to sustain energy over long distances while remaining sound and fit.
