Endurance riding and “scoring” endurance rides

Abstract

Extract

Endurance riding is becoming a popular pastime in New-Zealand. Interested riders have formed a “New Zealand Endurance and Competitive Trail Riders Association Incorporated”. Among other things they intend to standardize methods of judging, particularly for competitive trail rides. This is, of course, only one method and we can use it as a basis for future discussion of this relatively new endeavour.
