Competition requirements for Riders

Endurance riders are required to start their endurance career by completing two (2) rides of 40km in length at a restricted pace.  Once these two rides have been successfully completed, then the rider is able to compete in 80km - 120km rides, again at a reduced pace.  After the successful completion of three (3) rides of this length, then the rider is considered to be at "Open" status, and may compete in rides of longer distance, and at a faster pace (depending upon the level of the horse, its fitness, and its ability).
