Horse Riding
Going The Distance
Equine Ramblers UK is passionate about Long Distance Horse riding. You need to organise long rides well ahead because of the difficulty of finding horse as well as rider accommodation in the desired places for the ride.
Our Distance Award Program challenges riders into riding further afield. The benefit of riding Long Distance with your horse is the trust gained between horse and rider which can be carried through in other disciplines. The aim of the Distance Program Club is to challenge riders into being more adventurous. Your horse will appreciate the change of scenery too!
The cost of membership is £20 per year. Each member will receive a log book, car sticker and certificate of membership by post.
The goals we have set are
- Easy Rider 50 miles (80kms)
- Traveller 100 miles (160.9kms)
- Highwayman 250 miles (402.25kms)
- Trailblazer 500 miles (804.5kms)
- Expedition 1000 miles (1,600kms)
Membership Rules
1. Each member must submit a map of the route to Equine Ramblers UK with a route description and/or story for publication at the end of each goal attained to receive a distance award certificate. The route taken will be lodged in the mapping section of the website for others to use.
2. Equine ramblers will announce on
the website and on their Facebook webpage that the member has successfully completed the distance.
3. Each distance must be one complete journey taken over two or more consecutive days after joining the Distance Award program.
4. Each member must let Equine Ramblers know the intended route
prior to commencement of the ride and keep them updated to their progress.
You need to plan your route, then your daily distance and your overnight stops. Equine Ramblers UK has that experience and will help you if you need it.
So join the program now and look forward to your Long Riding achievements and a brilliant relationship with your horse!
We reserve the right to add or change the rules at any time. Members will be notified.
