The equestrian sport of Endurance

The FEI World Equestrian Games, created in 1990 are held every four years and are by far the largest equestrian event. In 2014, the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games™ 2014 in Normandy will be host to 8 World Championships, one of which is Endurance

The endurance event is timed on a predetermined itinerary of 160 km with veterinary checks before, during and after the test. The rider needs to be able to manage his/her horse’s energy so that it can run the distance as fast as possible whilst ensuring the horse remains in perfect physical condition.

Competition date;   Thursday 28th August

Location; The bay of Mont-Saint-Michel (Manche) will provide a magnificent backdrop for the 160 km of Endurance tests that will meander around the site.
