In Canada the governing body is CaLDRA (Canadian Long Distance Riding
Association), head of both endurance and competitive trail riding. There
is no national endurance championship, so our biggest endurance ride is
the North American Championships held every 2 years, which is in
Canada at alternate times. Competitive Trail does have national
championships (probably because there is no N.A. champ ride), held
every 2 years, alternating between eastern and western Canada.
I think the reason there is no national endurance championship is
because the country is so huge, and there are relatively few endurance
riders here compared to the US. We are split into Canada East and West
teams for the NA champs.
Hope this helps. Brenda
