Endurance

Endurance Riding is unquestionably the most grueling, demanding, and physically challenging of all the equestrian disciplines. The thought of racing 50 to 100 miles over difficult terrain - often in only one day and only on one horse - is enough to turn most riders pale at the very prospect.

For those less inclined to race at speed past the scenery, the sport of Competitive Riding offers no less of the horse and rider in terms of an ideal partnership, but at a slower pace.

Whether it be Endurance or Competitive, once you have tried distance riding, you can never look back without a sense of utter awe and admiration for those that can take this sport to the highest level - be it the justifiably famous (or infamous) Tevis Cup (in the western US), the unbelievably grueling Old Dominion 100 (in Virginia), or the paragon of endurance rides - the Endurance event at the Olympic trials.

This category offers a plethora of sites to whet your curiosity, interest, and needs in the fascinating world of distance riding.
