Endurance Riding

[@Meredith25600]

Love this video. I have played it about 20 times. Even though the trail is totally different than the desert I live in, I love the way it depicts the relationship between rider and horse.

[@comanche260]

Hey, This is the best portrait of endurance I have seen out there. Really good!!! thanks for posting it!

[@jett888]

Any horse can do endurance- it just depends on how fast or where you want to finish- remember, the endurance motto is: "To finish is to Win" It's a sport that allows more breeds than I believe any other type of race/competition. They have various disances from LD's (limited distance) of 25 miles, to 50 milers, to 100 milers to multi day rides. It's a sport that accomodates MANY!! It's about the ride, the relationship, and the responsiblity of the partnership. So get out there! I LOVE it!!

[@julzdkck]

Coming from a endurance rider the most rewarding thing that you can get is to finish and of all the footage the best parts were the end and were the two women were talking to their horses. That is what's it all about, the bond and love between horse and rider. Why there is only Arabs?? They are bred to do endurance racing!! :)

[@MrsLuilui11]

Thank you for inspiration with that video, I saw it 2012 and thought I want try that sport. Today I’m competing international races and last year I did German championships 🥰 I love that sport.

[@Horsegirl852]

This is actually a really good video of endurance!

[@Weaponsmaster8595]

Endurance horses are so fun to ride, but the bad thing is no matter what happens you can never take their spazzy-edge off before you ride you just have to get on and hope the horse isn't crazy.

[@wolfsvain2]

I have a tennessee walker and a Quarab which I have been training and we start in May!

[@savvydanee]

I am going to my first 25 mile ride at Old Dominion in less than a week. Just hoping my horse and I hold up well- I have done show jumping at a pretty high level and have dabbled in most equestrian sports, but this one seems the most intense! Wish me luck!

[@EPRFowler]

I've gotten back into endurance and i'm doing awards next year!! On a crazy mare, lol, but she's fab & i love her!!

[@gyptar05]

This isnt badd!!! its reli good :) i do endurance riding and it is brilliant!! great vid x

[@28460]

Fantástico video, me gusta mucho en su calidad de imágen y en su música.

[@EPRFowler]

Doing my second 40 this weekend :) soooo excited :) go endurance!

[@dadusika05]

Endurance is really fun! I used to work at a barn where we bred and raced arabians. I love the adrenaline and butterflies I get in my belly when I race :D

[@kokacolarox]

omg I LOVE THIS SPORT im sooo exited for the next race. im doin my first 50 :)

[@MegF142857]

Well, I surely enjoyed it.

[@sebbylovespaxton]

endurance riding is the best ever. i do it and i love it :)

[@AHorselover1]

@JoeJB27 Yes. Other breeds can complete. Arabians commonly do the best, but the motto is "To Finish Is To Win." My horse and I have completed two LD (30 mile) rides and he's half QH and Half Andalusion. (He looks like the opposite of an Arab). We didn't win, but we finished which is more important. If your horse is a stocky QH, I was reading there are certain issues you have to be careful to avoid with overheating because of the thick muscle but if your horse is healthy, why not try it?

[@EPRFowler]

Oh yea, love endurance I do it on a 5yr old!! She's FAB!! Goin for da Irish team, WHOO!!

[@Mrslittlesister10]

Thats an awesome sport and special the arabian horses are soo wonderfull

[@thepillowfortgaming]

great vid, I'm doing my first endurance race in a few weeks, its a 50 mile in quemaca, or however you spell it xD

[@AnnehPants]

I do endurance riding. My mare is a 13 hand chestnut arabian. I actually have the colored synthetic tack but i often lower the tone a bit at rides. my favourite thing to do is go out pn the ride and when i see all the pros with their big greys and stuff ill either ask annie for herAMAZING extended trot which is the speed of a galloping 16 hand cob and wave as i go by or i see them flouncing along and i charge up wooping with long reins and then as i go past i bring annioe into trot, wave then go

[@wolfsvain2]

@101Jazzer Arabians are know for their hardiness, stamina, and endurance. However, I've found out that there are more Missiouri Foxtrotters winning than any other breed.

[@AHorselover1]

@horsekid11968 I guess anyone who runs a marathon is stressed too. These horses have to be in great shape. Trust me, endurance horses have to love what they do or else they get to vet check points and refuse to leave. The riders have to be in as good shape or you can't finish the ride, much less your horse. The hours training fine tunes your relationship with your horse as you need him and he needs you. My horse has told me when he's done enough for the day, but often I quit first.

[@kaitlynmelaney8122]

Awwe i saw Arabs

[@ponytales2001]

Terrific Video gave ya 5 STARS

[@kalagoyu2]

good video ,I like it.

[@fuckyb]

we compete in endurance as a team in australia , it is the only horse sport with so many hours and the most amazing rides. try endurance , you'll love it even more when your an open rider and you can go as fast as you want.

[@littlebritton1]

@horsekid11968 I don't see a single stressed horse in that vid. All I see are fit, happy horses ridden in tune by their riders. If you want to see stressed horses, can I suggest you visit your local BSJA meeting, and witness the gadgets used to tie horses down whilst they try to stretch over a fence, or a dressage yard where the charges are deemed to valueable to even be allowed free turnout.

[@ponytales2001]

great vid.

[@AnnehPants]

if you come from england thw Whaddon Chase Branch of the Pony Club does easy endurance rides between 5 and 30 miles

[@jett888]

@Weaponsmaster8595 Not all horse have a "spazzy-edge" to them- my mare True- who races many endurance events and usually places top 10- is not edgy at all- nothing- no pulling and very well behaved- but the horses do get excited as they are herd oriented and want to go/stay w/ the group- the starts are my favorite part! Maybe more group riding would help your horse take that edge off it??

[@EPRFowler]

Yea! Thats the way endurance riders ride!! LOL!!

[@pixiehorse]

cool, good job!

[@AutunmsDay]

The owner of the barn told me to put my horse in endurance bvecause hes the type that you can ride all day(have done with small breaks for lunch and play in the creek) and I dont care if I win just for the fun of it. you know. he aslo would make a good cross country jumper as well.(said by trainer and previous owner and barn owner)

[@wolfsvain2]

@jett888 I know around here there are more foxtrotters and I get the awards booklet for NATRC and ACTHA. In them foxtrotters out number anyother breed, and that's since 1989. I don't know about AERC that's a different thing than the others. But yea you're right they're both good at it. :)

[@jett888]

@wolfsvain2 I don't think your moment about Missiouri foxtrotters winning than any other breed is correct? Check out the AERC results, FEI- i think arabians are the dominant breed- but either way- they are both good for it

[@EPRFowler]

Well i do it on a physco pony with an even more physco horse!!! Everytime i hold him back he gallops on the spot!!! No joke!!

[@StephXOAnimals]

cool! i liked it

[@tokidokimagic1]

arabian horses are THE HORSES. period. amazing video :)

[@tokyobarnrat]

I love my sport.

[@EPRFowler]

awsome vid! though i don't recommend endurance, i gave it up after ma 5th time out!!!

[@jett888]

@TheKillerz96 I don't know if there is an "Endurance Riding section" probably just under sports or animals section is your best bet- anybody wanting to see those, would simply search "endurance riding" good luck!

[@jett888]

@wolfsvain- when you said the Foxtrotters winning than any other breed- snce this is an ENDURANCE video- i was assuming you were talking about winning at Endurance- the Arab wins the majority of the Endurance races- the ACTHA and Natrc- aren't "Endurance" those are most trail riding/grading types of events.

[@EPRFowler]

Some ppl think that it is cruel but i think that its gd but da lady i work 4 once when she came back from da ride her horse had sezied up n wz in alot of pain when she walked but the horse loved every second she wz out so i think that u sud decide 4 ur self if u think its cruel or not

[@jett888]

@EPRFowler Distance cures A LOT of problems- more saddle time, more mileage- your "physco pony" will start appreciating rest time. :~{}

[@horsetastictrainer]

i cant find enduracne videos on that site?

[@horsekid11968]

those are pretty stressed horses

[@Opel_Kadett_PR27]

These riders have sloppy riding skills... I've always wanted to try endurance riding. It looks like fun.

[@xImkex3]

My mom ride's into the movie at 1:00 =)

[@essexfilly]

i hope to do endurance, i have a 18 month old crabbet arab filly. it looks amazing! i think its definately something to try before you die! i have lots of videos of Hejaza my lil baby girl if anyone wants a butchers!!!

[@EPRFowler]

@jett888 You would think that but you really have to see this pony to believe it haha he doesn't know the word "tierd" or "rest" I do endurance on a 6yo thorough bred now she's much easier :-P

[@jett888]

this is a great video!! Keep it up!! Love your music pics w/ the beat of the horses- my videos are always from the back of my horse- i wish i had the sort of footage you get!! Please check out the endurance video i just uploaded- just for a different perspective- loved your video!

[@EPRFowler]

U WUD THINK THAT!!! BUT NOOOOOOO! lol!

[@meowbonmeow]

/brain gasms over song choice.

[@bucci777]

Ugly ugly music... Messes up the whole video

[@nemoloverable]
