How exciting that you are interested in the sport - and that
you are making every effort to maintain the high standards
that have been the trademark of endurance.
Here is information for contacting AERC, the
American Endurance Ride Conference. This is the governing
and organizing body in the United States. AERC has several
publications, including an endurance handbook and rules
and regulations. These would be of great benefit to you
in understanding how the sport is run in the United States.

this group, representing many different countries. You may
get responses from spanish-speaking individuals that can
help you out.
