Endurance Riding typically covers distances ranging 25km to 160km, and in competitive situations is a "first past the post" race. In comparison, Competitive Trail Riding is a measured event, based on a points system and focused on an "optimum riding time". Ride distances can range from 15km to 80km. Both endurance and CTR riders complete a course by following a marked trail. Together the two disciplines provide opportunity for a very large range of horse and rider "types" to be involved and enjoy the sport of long distance riding.

Each affiliated club has its own committee, and exercises jurisdiction, on behalf of its members, over the level and type of riding activity executed during a season. A season runs from August 1 to July 31, and is generally made up of a combination of fun or pleasure rides, training rides, competitive rides and National Points rides. Some clubs offer Endurance and CTR, whilst others restrict to Endurance only. All organised rides are run under the auspice of rules and regulations set down by National Council. In addition to ongoing club activity each year there are North and South Island and National Championship Rides.

ENDURANCE RIDING Endurance riding is a sport with many levels of appeal. For some it is a highly competitive and challenging athletic endeavour, whilst for others it is a recreational activity combining a day out with a long distance ride. An endurance ride is an event in which the same horse and rider compete together to complete a marked trail of 25km or more within a maximum specified time. One must start Endurance riding as a Novice before becoming an Intermediate and/or Open rider. Your horse must also follow this sequence, whereby you are limited initially, to distances of not more than 40-50km. What happens on the day? 1. Register. This is where you pay your money and receive a rider number. You have chosen to ride (say) 25km today. Good Luck! 2. Pre Vet. Remembering to take your logbook and wearing your "rider number", you proceed to the vet ring where you present your horse, in a halter, unsaddled, for vet inspection. The vet will take his heartrate, generally look him over and then ask you to trot him out, in hand, around a pre set course. Your horse must be sound and have a heart rate of 60 or below in order to be able to start. You will leave your logbook/card with vet ring personnel. 3. Ride brief. Generally speaking the ride brief will be given immediately prior to the start. You will be 'ready to ride". The brief outlines the course and highlights parts of the ride worthy of note, obstacles, tricky bits etc. You will be given your ride times-minimums for novices and maximums for the open division. It is well worth "listening up" at the ride brief! 4. The Start. Endurance riding is "mass start" although 15 minutes is allowed to actually cross the start line. This enables riders that wish to set off quietly, at their own pace, to do so. 5. The Ride. Follow the marked trail and enjoy. Be sure to observe your novice riding time. What more to say! 6. The Finish. As you cross the line, at the completion of the ride your logbook will be handed back to you. Your "vet in time" will be noted-30 minutes after your arrival (at the finish line) time. Do not exceed the allowed time before presentation to the vet ring or you will be disqualified. 7. Strapping. This is the process whereby you prepare your horse for the post ride vet check. Washing, cooling, getting the heartrate back to 60 beats per minute, or less, cleaning up. Don"t forget to pick out his feet. 8. Post Vet. This is the final vet check. Remember to take your logbook with you. In the vet ring the process is the same as for the pre vet. A successful horse will be sound, have a heartrate of 60 bpm or less, and will be judged by the vet as being "fit to continue". 9. Qualification. You have followed the marked trail, ridden to your novice time and "vetted through".

Its prize giving, you have your certificate, it's all over. You've qualified your first Endurance ride. Congratulations! Another 175km of that sort of business and before you know it you're a "blue card" combination. See you at the next ride! Riding Divisions Novice (White Card) This is the first (and unavoidable) post and necessitates the completion of a series of qualifying rides before progression can be made into a more advanced class. Both horse and rider must have completed the qualifying distances (either independently or together). Novice combinations are not eligible for placings (and therefore prizes!) and must ride to a minimum time-determined by the organising committee. If a novice entry returns inside the minimum time allowed they will be disqualified. The purpose of this ruling is to protect young or inexperienced horses from being ridden too hard. Intermediate (Blue Card) If you think you would enjoy riding distances of 40-50km you must qualify a total of 200km in rides of 25-50km. At least two of these rides must be distances of 40-50km. You are then intermediate class (blue card), and are able to compete for prizes in the 40km rides. You may then go on a later date to complete your two 80km rides and compete as an open rider. Open (Red Card) Alternatively, if riding distances of 80k plus, are more up your alley then to qualify as an open rider (red card) you must qualify at least two rides of 40-50km followed by two rides of 80-90km. Junior class (Yellow Card) is a class for riders 16 years or under and is judged as a separate class.

COMPETITIVE TRAIL RIDING CTR has, over recent years, enjoyed an upsurge of interest. Originally established as a means of introducing young horses to the Endurance event it has subsequently evolved as a discipline in its own right. Hence CTR offers riders and horses alike an alternative to straight Endurance riding with a greater emphasis on optimum riding -- it is a scored event where the lowest score wins. In this sport safety and horsemanship are of paramount importance and the breeding of the horse is unimportant-any horse can do it. What Happens On the Day The sequence of events as a CTR competitor is very similar to Endurance, but because CTR is a scored event there are some notable differences. 1 Pre Vet. Heart rate is taken but there is no minimum requirement and no score is attached. You will start the ride at the discretion of the vet. 2. The Start. Single riders or groups of 2-3 riders set off at timed intervals, usually 3 minutes apart. 3. The Ride. In CTR you are required to ride the distance to an optimum time. 2 penalty points are awarded for every minute you finish early and 1 point for every minute you are over time. 4. The Finish. Once over the finish line your horse"s heartrate will be taken and recorded; this heartrate forms part of your total score. You will also be given your vet report time. Do not be late or you will be disqualified. 5. Post Vet. Final heart rate also forms part of your total score, therefore the lower it is, the better. The Cardiac Recovery Index (CRI) is the method by which your horse is scored. This involves a heart rate being taken over a full minute, a "trot-out" over a marked distance, and a second heartrate score after exactly one (1) minute after the first. This is also known as "The Ridgeway Trot". 6. Final Score. As follows is an example of a final score and how it is calculated -- Time penalties * Plus 0 if you rode exactly to the specified time * Plus 1 point per minute over the specified time * Plus 2 points per minute under the specified time So, 4 points if you, for example, ride 2 minutes under the optimum time. * Heart rate crossing the finishing line 105 * Heartrates (2) at the post-ride vet check 46 and 48 TOTAL POINTS 4 +105 + 46 + 48 = 203 Remember -- with CTR the lowest score wins! Riding Divisions CTR offers 3 riding divisions: Youth, Intermediate, and Open. Youth classes cover riders 14 years and under. As an member of an affiliated club, you start as an intermediate rider. Following successful completion of two intermediate rides you automatically qualify as an open rider. You are eligible for prizes through all classes of riding.

SOME COMMON TERMINOLOGY VETTING The mandatory check on your horse, pre and post ride. STRAPPING The term used to cover the technique(s) used to prepare your horse for final vetting. FUN RIDE A pleasure ride, generally 10-15km. Specially for those "trying out" or with young/new horses. No vet ring, no placings, no prizes. Participation certificates are awarded. TRAINING RIDE An opportunity to train, both through the vet ring and across the distance, usually 25-40km. No placings, no prizes BUT kilometres do qualify. ENDURANCE A competitive ride with placings and prizes for distance(s) 40km and over. CTR A competitive ride, based on an optimum ride time and scores for "heartrates", usually distances 25km and over. POINTS RIDE A competitive ride with added incentive of collecting points towards National Awards. Please note this guide is designed as a general overview and that for more information on the detailed rules and regulations of Endurance and Competitive Trail Riding the Rules Appendix should be consulted.
