In 1971 CSHA recognized the importance of distance riding and horsemanship and formed an Endurance Rides Committee.
The purpose of this committee is to promote organized endurance rides and distance riding horsemanship.
Distance riding is not new. It is just newly rediscovered. Since the domestication of the horse thousands of years ago, riding has been man's chief means of land travel. It has only been in the fraction of that time that man has been traveling
with the use of mechanical instead of biological power.
Endurance racing as a sporting event goes back more than 100 years. Then races lasted for many days and distances of a thousand miles and more, such as that from Galveston, Texas to Rutland, Vermont, a distance of 1,799 miles, averaging a
distance of 57.7 miles per day (31 days) in 1886.

Message from Audra,
Hello everyone...we survived the parade last Sunday.....it was my daughter, Mary's first time off the lead line in a parade (she has done five Parades on the lead line with Patches previously). They did awesome.
It was my horse Chief's first Parade and he was solid and calm (thanks to all the hours spent on conditioning and competing in Endurance). My son, Jimmy pedaled his tractor the entire two mile route.....for which he earned first place in his division.
