MOYSTON - Moyston'S Endurance Ride has been hailed a success, with the event attracting more than 100 riders and their horses from across the state.
The 5am start, on an icy Sunday morning, for the 80kilometre endurance ride did not deter riders from getting involved in the event.
Event organiser Sioux Reid said the weekend was enjoyed by many people of all ages.
"We even had one lady in her 70s participate in the 80kilometre ride," Reid said.
More than 200 people attended a spit roast dinner and band performance on Saturday night, which had `lots of people up dancing'.
Riders were very positive about the weekend, with many commenting on the great facilities at the Moyston recreation reserve and the beautiful scenery.
"We had riders telling us that when the sun broke out of the clouds the view across the Grampians' plains was just fantastic," Reid said.
The Sunday ride went smoothly thanks to the assistance of the police, CFA and many volunteers from around the region.
"As long as we have that kind of support, we'll hold it again," Reid said.
