Some rides offer introductory distances of 10-15 miles, but the shortest 
distance that is sanctioned by AERC is 25 miles.  25-35 miles is typical of 
these events called Limited Distance.  They're great for introducing a new 
horse to the sport or for bringing back older folks like me who haven't 
ridden an endurance ride in three years.  I just did a 25 in August, had a 
lot of fun and got the measure of my new horse.
