Endurance riding is an equestrian sport based on
controlled long distance races. The event consisted of a 160km ride
with the winner coming in with the fastest time and passing the
vet test as "fit to continue".
An award is also issued to the horse who the veterary
commission sees as being in the best condition among the top 10
finishers.
