Endurance riding guidelines

Endurance riding is a competitive sport where horse and rider travel long distances, typically over 25 to 100 miles, within a set time. The goal is to complete the course safely and efficiently while maintaining the horse’s health and well-being. Riders must monitor their horse’s condition continuously, ensuring proper pacing, hydration, and nutrition. The event includes designated vet checks to assess the horse's fitness and recovery. Adherence to these guidelines promotes fair competition, safety, and the longevity of the horse, emphasizing respect for the animal's physical limits while testing the rider’s stamina and horsemanship.
