Endurance riding is a growing equestrian sport that challenges both horses and riders to cover long distances within a restricted time period. Riders must carefully plan their routes and prepare their horses for the terrain and conditions. During events, veterinary checks ensure the health and safety of the horses. The sport emphasizes camaraderie among riders as they work to complete the course against the elements rather than competing directly against each other. Riding clubs across the country now organize many endurance riding opportunities for those interested in this challenging sport.
