Endurance 101
Want to get started in distance riding?
Here's your book!
I get a lot of questions (in real life and on this blog) about my sport : what is endurance, and what does it take to participate in a distance ride?
I have a lot of easy, quick, short answers:
- You get up at 4am and ride your horse 25, 50, 75, or 100 miles in a single day.
- You throw as much junk as possible on a filthy horse and trot until you can't.
- It's like the Iditarod with horses, but warmer (usually).
...you get the idea.
I wrote Endurance 101: a gentle guide to the sport of long-distance riding to provide the long answers to questions like
- Can my horse do endurance?
- What kind of tack do I need?
- How much training will my horse and I need...and what should we practice?
- How will I know when my horse is fit enough for a long-distance ride?
- Can kids do this sport?
- What can go wrong?
...and most importantly
- How can I get started?
Monica Bretherton's informative photos illustrate the text and inspire the readers for a long-distance quest.
And there are some funny entries from the Bad Idea Fairy too.
