Harwood Pleasure/Training Ride - report by organiser, Lesley Smith
|
|
17/04/2013
|
|
|
It was third date lucky for the Harwood Ride this year. Didnt think it would go ahead at all this year. A final check on the forest just the Monday before showed snow was still in there but thawing fast.
The keen easterly wind dried the tracks where the sun could get to but the grassy tracks where the trees were dense were a little soggy but still very rideable.

In 2013 testing will not be carried out on riders or horses doing Pleasure Rides (National or Group).
However any horse entered in a graded or competitive ride may be spot checked but normally longer distance horses will tend to be selected for testing.

"4 for the North" 2013 competition
|
|
1/2/2013
|
|
|
The sport of horse Endurance Riding is one where the participants are constantly trying to improve. This applies to whether one is trying to move up from 16 km (10 mile) pleasure rides or preparing for a 100 to 160 km (62 to 100 mile) race ride in one day. The aim of this competition is to promote good preparation and skilled riding. Riding at a speed suited to the terrain, avoiding elimination by the vet and finishing with a low final heart rate (for the horse that is), will achieve the best results.
