Examining every aspect of the sport of endurance riding, from choosing the right horse to the ultimate achievement of racing over 100 miles, this work seeks to inform the complete newcomer as well as the dedicated competitor. Following the sport's motto "to compete is to win", the accent is on preparation and observation, with advice on the key aspects of conditioning, monitoring fitness levels, schooling and feeding. There are training schedules for varying levels of competition, and advice on the latest equipment for horse and rider. A chapter on preparation and fitness includes exercises to improve suppleness and equestrian skills. A chapter on the all-important role of the back-up crew is also included.
