A good start would be to join GERA (Georgia Endurance Riders Association) Contact Suzanne Solis 770 476 7385 gaendurance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx. The next meeting is Thurs Aug 19, 6:00 PM at Dawson Forest just before the GERA fundraiser ride. Its a good opportunity to meet a great group of people who will tell you more than you want to know about endurance. A good way to get to know how things work is to volunteer at the ride.I wouldn't plan on riding an older unconditioned horse at this ride.
