The USTA has partnered with the American Endurance Ride Conference (AERC) to promote the use of Standardbreds in endurance riding. The amount of training miles put into a Standardbred in preparation for racing gives them a solid base for endurance.
For more information on the AERC, visit their website.
Riders that are new to the world of endurance can learn more as a Green Bean.
Join other Standardbred endurance riders in the ‘Team Standardbred Distance Riders' Facebook group.
Riders must be a member of AERC in order to track horse and rider mileage.
