KENTUCKY RIDES FOR FUN
| KENTUCKY RIDES FOR FUN Endurance GB (EGB) has launched new fundraising initiatives to support the British Team at this year's World Equestrian Games in Kentucky, USA. The Kentucky Rides Series will provide an opportunity for anyone to enjoy a taste of endurance riding and over 23 Kentucky Rides are expected to take place at venues throughout the country between now and August 2010. | |
The rides are open to non members and offer a fabulous opportunity to ride over beautiful countryside, often over private land not normally open to the public. Riders will take part either for pleasure or as preparation for the competition season ahead and all entrants will receive a commemorative stable plaque.
"We have a really talented pool of riders and hope to be sending a strong team to the WEG in Kentucky. These rides are an excellent way for those interested in endurance riding to get a taste of what is involved, or just enjoy the beautiful countryside while raising valuable funds to support our international squad", says Jo Claridge, EGB Chairman.
Britain has been committed to fielding an international endurance team since the first FEI event in 1984 and British teams have an excellent track record in World and European championships, at one time holding more team and individual medals than all other countries except the USA and France. International teams are largely self funding and rely on fundraising to support their endeavours.
