This year Endurance GB (EGB) is once again offering a Team Endurance Event to affiliated Riding Clubs on a national scale.  The competition is now in its fourth year and is growing rapidly.

Riding Clubs are invited to form endurance teams of three to six riders.  A Riding Club can have as many teams as they have interested

horse and rider combinations.  Each Riding Club can then enter their teams into any number of qualifying rides of 30 to 35km (about 20 miles).  The qualifying rides can be chosen from over seventy EGB events throughout the country.

Potential riders do not need any special equipment, particular breed or type of horse to get started.  Only the rider, their horse and normal riding tack is required.  Riders do not have to be members of Endurance GB in order to compete, but they must be current members of their affiliated Riding Club.  The Riding Clubs must declare each horse and rider combination with the national organisers before they enter any qualifying ride.

A team who completes a qualifying ride successfully will have its team score entered into a League Table for the Region in which the Club is based.  A squad can then, if it chooses, enter a second or subsequent qualifying ride.  The team score achieved at the second or subsequent qualifier will replace the existing score in the League Table if it is higher than the existing score.  The team scores are calculated from the speed achieved over the course and the horse’s pulse at the final veterinary inspection.

The top team in each League Table for the ten Regions and the top ten teams on a national basis excluding the top ten from the League Tables will be offered a place in the Team Endurance Final at The British Horse Feeds Red Dragon Festival of Endurance on Sunday 6^th October 2013.  Some wild card places may also be offered at the discretion of the national organisers.  Stabling, corralling, camping, lorry parking and refreshments will be available at the venue.  Up-to-date Influenza Vaccination Certificates will be required for the final, as specified by British Riding Club rules.

The rules of the competition and full details of the Team Endurance Event can be found on our dedicated website:

I am currently promoting this FREE event below which is valuable to all riding centres and clubs/groups in Wesport area *Bristol, North Somerset, North East Somerset, South Gloucestershire, Bath*.   I would be grateful if you could forward this on to all of your relevant club and centres.

It will be held on 20^th March at Avon Riding Centre.

The event will help your contacts open up doors to new funding opportunities for new equipment, facilities and coaching qualifications, at the same time enable them to capture the spirit of the Olympics as we roll out our legacy plans – which will help get more people enjoying equestrian sport and improve the standards for those who are already participating.

We all ready have some great case studies of Pony Clubs, RDA groups and riding schools who have benefitted from funding streams that are available for investment into grassroots sport.  Equestrian is currently not getting its share of the funding available, this event has been set up to change this fact and empower more

of the equestrian community to be aware of opportunities that will benefit them.For case studies visit www.hoofride.co.uk/networks.
