Shortlisted Team members must be announced by close of entries, approximately 2 weeks before the event. Teams and distances must be declared no later than 1 hour after the vetting on the Friday evening for all team horses.

Mrs Latta got into endurance riding more than 30 years ago. "I had a young horse that was too green for eventing. It just needed something where it could run and that’s when I discovered endurance..."

Words by Stacey Stearns

Champion Dominika Malikova Kleinova explains the appeal of her chosen discipline...

A bay mare named Molta easily cantered over the finish line, winning the gold medal at the 2023 FEI Endurance World Championship for Young Horses in Padise, Estonia. Molta is owned and ridden by Dominika Malikova Kleinova of Slovakia, an Endurance superhero among us.

Dominika rides and trains the 12 horses in her stables, starting and training her own young horses. She also has a career outside horses and is raising her three-year-old son with her husband. Dominika, 33, extolls the virtues of hard work and perseverance in making her Endurance dreams a reality.

“Last year we achieved a result that was always just my dream,” she said. “We achieved it with our dedicated work in a little stable without any golden facilities. I hope it gives hope to anybody out there who needs to keep a strong will...”

Australia: A big step forward

NoosaToday.com.au - Full Article

30/06/2024
ERLE LEVEY

The Gympie-South Burnett Region is making a name for itself in endurance riding. ERLE LEVEY takes a look at the latest events and the impact it is having on the community as well as the horse-riding fraternity.

“It was a technical track but there were so many smiling faces among the volunteers to help us on the course.’’

Endurance horse riding in the Gympie-South Burnett region is taking a big step forward this season with new events being added to the calendar as well as hosting the state championships.

The Biggenden Endurance Ride at the weekend provided competitors with the chance to improve both their stamina and that of their horses.

Yet it also showed what country towns are capable of in hosting such events, and a reminder of the importance the support of people and businesses in the community provide.

It underlines how the charm of our towns and the beauty of the Australian bush provide the basis for such events that capture the imagination.

First Wondai and now Kilkivan have been added to the 2024 calendar. Both are in September and follow the Queensland State Championships to be held at Widgee in July.

The events provide for a lead-up to the 2024 Tom Quilty Gold Cup to be held in South Australia...
