The people that founded the AERC defined endurance as 50
miles or more. To change that we would have to do an expensive bylaws
change. Another thing that no one seems to consider is that some of
these very same people are still riding endurance and think the
definition of "endurance" is just fine the way it
is...........................mb
Actually Endurance Riding is defined to encompass two different events,
an endurance ride and an limited distance ride. So according to our
bylaws any one participating in an AERC sanctioned even, be it limited
distance or endurance ride is participated in endurance riding. I have
a very difficult time understanding all the fuss. We should all go ride
our horses whatever distance we chose and support our organization. The
next two years are going to be pretty challenging I suspect for
recreational equestrian activities.
