Pleasure Rides

Pleasure Rides (PRs)

 

National Pleasure Rides are open to full members of EGB, associate members and non-members. 

 

Full and Associate members pay member rates but non members must pay the temporary day membership rate.

 

The ride can be any distance from 10km to a maximum of 40km (+/- 5%) and it should be completed at greater than 8 km/hour minimum speed and must not exceed 12 km/hour maximum speed. However they must be back at the Venue by the time specified by the Organiser.

 

Horses must be 4 years old or over.  As these rides are run in conjunction with Endurance Rides, all horses must be checked by the farrier and be trotted up before the Ride. At the end of the Ride, they must present for vetting within 30 minutes.

Graded Endurance Rides (GERs) are where horses who successfully complete the ride will be awarded a grade based on pulse and speed.

 

Subject to certain restrictions these classes are open to members and non members. 

 

Graded Endurance rides are open to members of EGB and SERC who have a registered horse; they may be entered at membership rates.

 

Certain classes are also open to British Riding Club Team members and Pony Club members. They may enter at members’ rates.  For full details please check out the BRC Team event website page and the Pony Club website.

 

Apart from these schemes, Non members and Associate members may only enter GERs if they ride a horse registered with EGB or they are registered under the Try Before You Buy scheme - for full details on the type and number of classes please see the TryBeforeYouBuy page.

 

GERs are between 30-160 km. They can be over one day or over several days.

 

Speed varies between 8-18 km/hour but there are restrictions on speeds and distances for novice horses and for more advanced combinations there are higher minimum speeds.

 

Horses must comply with set veterinary parameters before and after the Ride for a successful completion. Rides of more than 55km will have at least one vet hold. Gradings may be awarded to successful competitors.
