DRM’s Spruce Woods Endurance Ride will be setting up Ride Camp at the Equestrian Campground on Saturday night after 5pm. There are limited corrals and stalls available for use at this site. All camp sites, horse corrals and barn stalls are on a first come first served basis with camping, stabling and firewood fees to be paid to the Spruce Woods Provincial Park directly as per usual.<\/p>

Please note that there is an MTRC competitive trail ride event on Saturday June 24th. Please keep the vet gate and crewing areas clear until their event has wrapped up.<\/p>

We are offering Intro rides of 10 or 15 miles for beginners or those who wish to leg up their horses for later in the season.<\/p>

This is an AERC sanctioned ride and will offer Limited Distance Rides (LD) of 25 miles. This distance is suitable for anyone that has fit horses.<\/p>

We will also offer Competitive Endurance Rides of 50 miles each day. This distance is NOT suitable for beginners and should only be entered by athletes ready to challenge themselves and their equine partners.<\/p>

All horses are subject to vet checks prior to beginning the ride each day, during ride holds and at the conclusion of the ride. Any horse may be pulled from competition by the ride veterinarian for lameness or metabolic issues.<\/p>

Riders may also choose to Rider Option (RO) if the ride vet has not pulled the horse as riders know their equine partners best and our sport is about the horse\u2019s health and well being coming before all other considerations.<\/p>
