A Beginner's Guide to Endurance Riding

Endurance riding (obviously in my opinion) one the very best horse sports you can pursue. Fundamentally it's a challenge of horse and rider fitness and partnership over sometimes challenging and often long distances (though what's great is that those distances vary from 16km to 160km - so there's something for everyone). The bond you share with your horse is unlike any other discipline I feel. One, for the time spent togehter in training and during the competition and two, for all the extra time spent in the management and care phase to keep your endurance sound and healthy for many many years. You'll come to learn that endurance horses keep going for a long time - and by that I mean to say that there are lot of very successful older endurance horses on the circuit. This guide aims to provide beginners with the confidence they need to embark on their endurance riding journey, ensuring they and their horses enjoy the experience to the full!
