SOS el Paular endurance
2 jours d'intense compétition dont le CEIOJY d'Espagne à côté de Madrid au pied d'un ancien monastère.
Des épreuves chronométrées par ATRM, à suivre en cliquant ICI. (si liaison internet) avec suivi GPS en direct sur le site ATRM par SF Tracking (une compagnie EUVE).
Une première technique qui préfigure d'autres innovations en matière de communication pour l'endurance au niveau international. Une coopération européenne France - Espagne (ou l'inverse comme on veut).
Le CEI * 80 km a débuté à 9h00. 1/2 heure après, le GPS a montré son utilité pour la sécurité lors de la chute d'une cavalière. En appuyant sur le bouton SOS, elle a signalé sa chute (avec possibilité de parler et communiquer). L'hélicoptère de sécurité et l'ambulance se sont immédiatement rendus sur les lieux (il s'agit d'un parc naturel avec peu d'accès)..
Le GPS a permis la relation, la localisation précise et l'envoi immédiat des secours. La cavalière a été emmenée à Madrid pour observation. On note en sus que l'organisateur a pris les moyens nécessaires pour assurer la sécurité.
UMA MENCIA (ESP) vainqueur du CEIOJY ** 120 km à 18.320 km/h (voir site ATRM).
FERNANDEZ VILAR DAVID (ESP) vainqueur du CEI ** 120 km à 18.763 km/h (voir site ATRM).
DIAZ FEITO PLACIDO (ESP) vainqueur du CEI * 80 km à 16.338 km/h (voir site ATRM).
Anne-Sophie Laborde (FRA) 6ème sur le CEI** 120 km
Au final, on a assisté là à la première édition de ce qui deviendra un lieu de référence en Espagne avec circuits balisés en dur dans un parc naturel d'une grande beauté sis à 1200m d'altitude.au Nord de Madrid. Des améliorations sont déjà prévues pour maintenir et compléter un haut niveau de mise en oeuvre (piste remarquée par la qualité de ses sols, paysages superbes, organisation générale de qualité malgré une obligation de changement de dernière minute pour 2 phases, chronométrage automatique ATRM et suivi GPS EUVE SF Sport Tracking avec diffusion sur Internet, niveau de sécurité exceptionnel, etc.).

Scotland: Emma in the Saddle
Ross-shirejournal.co.uk
Published: 10 July, 2009
A ROSS-SHIRE teenager has been selected to represent her country at a prestigious horse riding event to be held in England next week.
Emma Matheson (13), from Balblair, has been chosen for the Scottish Endurance Riding Team who are taking part in the 2009 Home International and Celtic Challenge in Ludlow, Shropshire on July 18-19.
Emma’s mother, Jenni Carmichael, told the Journal, "The cost involved in travelling to the event is quite high.
"To get Emma and her horse down there will cost in the region of 500 pounds, so we are appealing to local companies to help assist her.
"In return for sponsorship, the company’s logo will be displayed on the side of the horse lorry."
Emma also ran a fundraiser at Avoch Community Centre earlier this week, where she held a bouncy castle fun day.
It was Emma's grandmother, Brenda Burnett, who first encouraged her to take up riding.
Mrs Burnett explained, "Emma would have been about four when she went for her first riding lesson. We never needed to push her, she just wanted to keep going back. So we decided to get her a pony and it has worked out great.
"We are very proud of her, she has done really well to get selected for the national team. There are only two junior places in the team - it is mainly adults."
Emma Matheson and Prince are heading across the border to represent Scotland Andrew Smith
Although Emma, a second year pupil at Fortrose Academy, has been named as a reserve, she will still get the chance to go riding on the Saturday on her horse, Weatheroak Manor White Knight, which Emma simply calls Prince.
Mrs Burnett explained the principles of endurance riding, "You are given a set distance, which can range from about 15 miles to 100 miles a day on the same horse.
"It all has to be done at a set speed.
"If you don’t go at that speed you will get penalised. You also need to refer to a map to see what the terrain is like and take the weather into account."
Mrs Burnett revealed the longest distance Emma has done is 50km, but she will be covering 40km at the weekend. She added, "Emma is very excited about going down to Ludlow, she is counting the hours. It will be a fantastic learning experience for her."

A KEEN Flintshire horserider is to take on a major endurance challenge.
Sarah Braithwaite, of Nercwys, is travelling 260 miles from North Wales to North Devon to highlight the level of performance that can be achieved from barefoot horses.
She will be riding on six-year-old Chestnut Arab horse, Morris.
Sarah is experienced in the field of endurance rides, and said she is extremely excited about the challenge.
She said: "We started talking about a possible trip at Christmas after coming across many riders who didn't fully appreciate what barefoot horses can do.
"I've always wanted to ride the Long Mynd in Shropshire, and we've intentionally drawn up the map so we can ride along it on this journey."

Belgium: Débuter, gérer, gagner - Léonard Liesens
La communauté de l'endurance équestre n'avait pas d'ouvrage récent et complet écrit pas un compétiteur de haut niveau. Le vide est maintenant comblé avec ce livre "Endurance - Débuter, gérer, gagner" écrit par Léonard Liesens.
La préface est de Jack Bégaud. Avec la participation du Dr. Jean-Marc Lamolle pour les vérifications des aspects vétérinaires.
Avec les photos de Caroll Gatelier.
Le livre aborde tous les aspects de l'endurance équestre : le choix du cheval, le règlement, les principes d'éducation, l'entraînement du cheval inexpérimenté et du jeune cheval, l'entraînement du cheval expérimenté, la tactique de course, l'assistance, les soins aux chevaux, la préparation au vetgate, les critères vétérinaires, les entraînements pointus, les problèmes et leurs solutions, comment font les autres, etc...
Le style est pour citer Pierre Arnould : "alerte, compréhensible et parfois poétique". Il dit encore "La vision n'est pas monolithique mais complètement pluraliste et est celle d'un rassembleur d'idées et de pistes".
Jack Begaud écrit dans sa préface: "Merci pour cette initiative courageuse traduite par un panorama précis, bien documenté, équilibré entre raison et sentiment qui se lit d'une traite".
Vincent Dupont : "Clair et précis et plein d'enseignements pour les débutants comme pour les autres".
Les soeurs Houassin : "Voilà un ouvrage qui est clair et ne tourne pas autour du pot".
Christian Depuille : "Je n'en suis qu'à la moitié mais j'ai déjà revu ma façon d'entraîner et mon approche de la discipline".
Anne-Gaelle Goachet : "Les bases de la discipline sont enfin posées sur le papier. Et pour des chercheurs comme moi, ton livre répresente une référence solide : "Liesens, 2009" apparaîtra surement dans mes prochaines publications scientifiques !"
144 pages
Prix : 20 euros
Le livre est disponible en France, en Belgique et ailleurs.

AsiaOne News
Sat, Jun 20, 2009, AFP
CORLAY, FRANCE - Malaysia's king Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin surprised villagers in western France Saturday when he turned up to take part in a local horse race.
The king, who has bought several mounts from a breeder near Corlay, a village of 1,000 inhabitants in northern Brittany, rode in a 132 km endurance event.
'We were told a fortnight ago that the king was going to take part,' event organising secretary Jean-Pierre Allegret said, adding that the village had been turned upside down by the arrival of the monarch and some 60 retainers and security men.
Corlay is well-known among horse-lovers for its racecourse and endurance events.

New Zealand: Mixed feelings for Dougan over possible sale
Times-age.co.nz

By Gary Caffell
Eketahuna horseman Shane Dougan has mixed feelings over the possibility of his promising endurance horse Taralea Sheer Illusion being sold.
The grey 9-year-old combined with Dougan to top the national Horse and Rider of the Year endurance riding rankings for 2008-09 with 118 points, 25 points clear of their nearest rivals.
But whether they will continue their association will depend on current negotiations to sell Taralea Sheer Illusion to Arabian interests coming to fruition or, conversely, coming to nothing.
Either way Dougan believes he is on a winner such is the potential he sees in his star charge who he has owned for about three years.
"He's very promising, he could go right to the top," Dougan said of Taralea Sheer Illusion who is himself of Arab descent.
"He's strong and he's athletic, he's got all the qualities you want."
The national endurance championships at Whareama at Easter saw Taralea Sheer Illusion compete over 100km for the first time and his effort to place 10th, and win the heavyweight (rider weighing over 90kg) title at the same time, delighted Dougan.
"For us it was just a matter of completing the course without putting too much stress on the horse and he took everything in his stride," Dougan said.
"He'll get the longer distances no problem, and that's probably where his future lies now."
Dougan's partner Jenny Champion and Freckles were seventh on the national Horse and Rider rankings while in the junior section Wairarapa's Natalie Bickerton and Moroccan Fyre were sixth and Tessa Deuss and AH Starlight Express eighth.
Early next month will see Champion heading to South Africa as part of a six-strong Kiwi contingent who will take part in that country's endurance riding championships. They will ride South African horses over 200km in a race scheduled to start on July 7 and finish on July 9.
Representing her country is nothing new for Champion who has competed internationally in Italy and Australia and she has won the national 160km title with Freckles on two occasions, plus finishing runner-up at Whareama.
