Description
This information-packed international bestseller should be on every endurance and competitive trail rider's shelf.
To spend hour after hour on the back of a horse is a dream come true for many riders. To ride for miles 25, 50, or even 100 on a fit horse, is an extremely satisfying experience, whether done in competition or just for pleasure. This thrill does not come easily however; it requires immense dedication from the rider and a lot of hard work from the horse.
No other equestrian sports demand such a continuous training effort as do endurance and competitive distance riding. To reach the highest level of the sports competing in a 100-mile ride requires years of careful conditioning. Even a 25-mile ride demands close attention to every nuance of a horse s being during the many miles of work beforehand and during the competition itself. It is the horse s welfare that must come above all else.
