Equestrian endurance competitions, which are competitions in equestrian sports, consist of some stages. Horses that successfully pass the stages are checked by a veterinarian and allowed to move on to the next stage. The duration of the stages may vary depending on the type of competition. Within the scope of the equestrian endurance competition, the horse's successful exit from different situations on the course such as ground, ditch, climate, descent, duration, ascent and direction is monitored. It is expected that the horse and rider will adapt to the conditions within the time given for the stage and that the horse will be able to exit the course in a healthy manner. The horse is checked during the stage. Additionally, for the stage duration, it is checked whether the horse has completed the course and then moves on to the next stage. Equestrian endurance races, where the endurance and success of horses are measured, are divided into some types. Competitions may vary depending on the distance the horse will travel. Types of equestrian endurance competitions are as follows; It is a one-star equestrian endurance, two-star equestrian endurance, three-star equestrian endurance, national equestrian endurance development and equestrian endurance qualification competition. Depending on the type of competition, the age of the horse participating in the race, km distances, speed limits and the horse's pulse rate may vary. In addition, in order to participate in a higher competition, it is necessary to have successfully completed the previous competition. For example, riders who are successful in the equestrian qualification competition, which is the lower competition, can participate in the national equestrian endurance development competition, which is the upper competition. Those who cannot pass this competition cannot participate in the next round. It can also be held in special competitions in the field of equestrian endurance. In our webinar on equestrian endurance, Lecturer as Moderator Mustafa Erzen, Yavuzkan Paksoy will give information about what can be done to increase the endurance of horses, and Endurance athlete Öyküm Kaya will give information about the characteristics of the horses to be selected for this sport.
