Endurance Riding

Endurance riding is a unique competitive challenge for horse and rider and a supreme sport for learning about equine fitness. It is not a long pony trek ambling through the lanes. Endurance requires dedication, good horsemanship and involves long hours in the saddle, but can be enjoyed by riders and horses of all types and abilities. Horses with a high proportion of Arab blood are generally more suitable for longer distances.

In England and Wales the sport is governed by Endurance GB which is affiliated to the FEI for international competitions. Rides of varying distances are held over all kinds of terrain and in all weathers between February and October. International competitions take part in many countries, and European and World Championships are held biennially.
