 Horses

Horses must be qualified "open" (yellow book) horses and not subject to AERA Rule H8 (13 month rule) or a Rest Order.

Horse must be at least six years old.

Horses must have current FEI registration. 

Horses DO NOT require an FEI passport or National Identification Document (NID) to compete at 1* and 2* events.  However, if a horse has been issued with the FEI Passport or NID, you must bring it with you to the event.

 Riders

Riders must be qualified endurance riders.

Riders must have current FEI registration.

2010 Great Western Races

A team of keen endurance riders, entered into the boat race at Great Western, with the aim of raising funds to support VERA. Sadly beaten by the Wiggles, still no shortage of fun times and good laughs. And the horses were exceptionally well behaved, no poo to pick up and all floated home with ease!
