Endurance.Net Ridecamp Archives

I am going to beg out of making any major contribution to this story. It needs to be written, but I am currently involved in too many other projects to give it the time it deserves. However, I will be happy to answer any questions if I can be helpful in that regard. 
To be accurate, it will require a lot of inquiries by someone with a zest for research if it is going to go back to pre-1955.   If it is just going to cover modern day endurance riding, it should be a much easier project.   Hal Hall would be a good one   for   early Tevis.   Phil Gardner and Kathy Perry for the founding and initial years of AERC.   Then Randy Eiland, Joe Long and ex-AERC presidents for the growth of AERC.   Then the multi-day concept which is pretty well recorded already from the 1976 cross country race. From there you will have to find someone who can document the introduction and growth of international endurance riding.   Matthew Mackay-Smith was in on the ground floor of this, I believe. And then I think Maggie Price was instrumental in getting endurance riding recognized by USET and FEI.   I am really vague about some of this stuff, but I really wish somebody would undertake the project.         Julie Suhr
