endurance riders

Endurance riders participate in long-distance horse races that test the horse's stamina and the rider's skill. These events typically cover 25 to 100 miles, requiring careful pacing, maintenance of the horse’s health, and strategic navigation. Riders monitor their horse’s condition throughout, ensuring proper hydration, nutrition, and rest. Success depends on mutual trust, fitness, and knowledge of the horse’s limits, with the goal of completing the course safely and efficiently while demonstrating the horse’s endurance and the rider’s ability to manage long-distance challenges.
