Endurance riding is being taken to an entirely new level by national endurance rider Megan Lewis, who is currently preparing for the third stage of The Long Horse Ride, a Sino-British international friendship ride.
The ride, a five-part journey on horseback from Beijing to London, began after the closing ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympics and will be completed in time for the opening ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics.
The next stage, due to start in April, will follow the northern Silk route across the Gobi desert and onwards through Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan to Samarkand.
"It is very difficult to know how long the route will take exactly," Megan told H&H.

Great Britain: Chairman Julie clinches top endurance award
Yorkshirepost.co.uk
Published Date: 20 January 2010
JULIE MARTIN, from Hepworth, was presented with the Cock of the North trophy as overall winner when the West Riding Group of Endurance Great Britain held their annual awards and prize-giving.
Julie, who is chairman of the group, has been competing in endurance rides for over 30 years. She won the championships of both long distance riding societies in the 80s and was runner-up in the EGB overall championships of 2008 and 2009 with Solitaires Star.
The 11-year-old Arabian mare is only 14.2hh and was bought by Julie as a two-year-old, initially as a companion to her then endurance horse.
The novice champion award went to Bev Corrigan, from Meltham, with Zoe's Flight. The top young rider was Emily Fergerson, from Leeds, and Amber Sole, from Hessle, was the best junior.
Four newcomers to the sport were given achievement awards: Nicola Bowley, Tadcaster; Margot Fielden, Leeds; Kelly Crowther, Morley and Marcus Headland, Great Heck.
The first of three national rides will be Wharncliffe Chase in June, followed by Last of the Summer Wine in July and South Yorkshire in September.

19 December 2009
Pearce gained the most competitive mileage points last season, riding her horse Oakthwaite Suddara.
She won the Best Arab trophy, from points accumulated from riding 834 kilometres in competitive rides and gaining 1,645 points.
Pearce and Oakthwaite Suddara did so well they were placed in five other trophies at the recent Cumbria Endurance Society's AGM awards.
Said Pearce: "I'm so chuffed about it. I finished fourth last year and I so wanted to win it this year."
Pearce, who has been riding for 20 years and competing in endurance rides for 15 years, is a Cumbria committee member and promotes the endurance riding sport as a great way to keep fit, and enjoy riding over beautiful terrain.
She said: "We're trying to encourage as many people as possible to have a go at the sport, which is great fun."
Riders and horses can compete in anything, from 15km pleasure rides to 160km day treks, and you don’t need a special horse. For more information contact www.egb.co.uk

My horses have taken care of me
Thenational.ae - Full Story
December 03. 2009
My work is my passion, and my lifestyle.
When I left school at age 16, in 1987, I had no qualifications. I never really thought about money or having a job to guarantee me a good salary. It was the opposite: horses were my passion, what I wanted for my life.
I was born in Biarritz, in south-western France, and started riding when I was seven or eight. I'm now 38. I don’t know where my love of horses came from. No one else in my family rode.
I now work as the senior riding instructor at the Royal Stables in Abu Dhabi, and I manage all the horses there. We have about 100 altogether, including 40 liveried horses that we stable, feed, groom and take care of for a monthly fee.

Great Britain: Small companies sharing a big market
Nebusiness.co.uk - Full Article
Nov 25 2009 by Andrew Mernin, The Journal
You don't have to be a mammoth corporation with a bottomless pit of capital to make it big overseas. Andrew Mernin finds out how a growing band of the region's small businesses have become exporters on a shoestring budget.
A HORSE called Tiffany with a bad back was the unlikely catalyst for the creation of a globally successful firm in a tiny village in Teesdale.
Tiffany's owner Les Spark, an endurance riding enthusiast, set about designing a saddle which would allow him to ride the horse without being thrown to the ground in anger at her own discomfort. And so the flexible, and apparently ultra-comfortable, Free N Easy saddle was born.
Seventeen years later, the saddle is sold in 20 countries across five continents and has given the village of Low Selset, near Barnard Castle, its own international success story.

Endurance Horse Study Reveals Common Complaints, Resolutions
Thehorse.com - Full Article

November 15 2009
A lot of things can happen over the many miles of an endurace event. California veterinarians recently tracked the incidence and resolution of equine medical issues encountered during endurance competition.
C. Langdon Fielding, DVM, Dipl. ACVECC, of the Loomis Basin Equine Medical Center in California, and colleagues, looked at the records of 30 horses that required emergency treatment after being removed from endurance competition.
Some of the issues the researchers encountered included colic, esophageal obstruction (choke), poor cardiovascular recovery, myopathy, and synchronous diaphragmatic flutter (thumps). They studied the horses' examination, lab work, age, breed, and other parameters to see if they could spot specific indicators that could help them catch the problem earlier.
