What is Endurance Riding?
​
Looking for a new challenge for both you and your equine partner? Endurance riding may be just what you're searching for, Long Distance Competitive and Pleasure Rides.
​
Endurance riding is an exciting equestrian sport that tests the speed and endurance of the horse and rider over a long-distance riding competition. Rides can range from 16km (10 miles) to 160km (100 miles) in a single day, traversing beautiful natural terrain. Together, horse and rider must carefully manage their speed and energy over the course. It requires bonding, training, and teamwork to get the best results.
Whilst sometimes physically demanding, especially at the longer distances, endurance riding also provides an unparalleled opportunity to explore the countryside. You'll experience breathtaking vistas and scenery not always accessible by other means. Each ride is also a new adventure, with changing trails and landscapes.
​
No prior long-distance riding experience is required to get started. With proper conditioning of your horse and yourself, developing riding skills, and choosing the right equipment, endurance riding is open to equestrians of all backgrounds. It's about working together and pushing yourself just a little further than you thought possible.
​
Endurance riding events happen year-round across the UK. Come join our thriving community of endurance enthusiasts. We provide training, events, and a supportive environment for both new and experienced riders. All that's needed is your sense of adventure. Experience the thrill and personal achievement of mastering an exciting new equestrian sport alongside your four-legged partner. Let endurance riding take you to new horizons.
​
