Lessons learned from the issues arising over last year's World Equestrian Games have led to a new structure for the sport of endurance in New Zealand.
wo WEG-selected riders objected to the fact that grooms were assigned to them for the games, rather than being allowed to choose their own. The pair, Sue Reid and Jenny Champion, pulled of the team. It left New Zealand with just three endurance riders.
In a message to endurance riders this week, Equestrian Sports NZ CEO Jim Ellis said it had taken time to move the Endurance High Performance issue forward, "but I hope members will understand that the topic has seen lengthy and detailed debate 'behind the scenes'."
Leadership of the HP Programme will now rest with a small group, rather than a single HP Leader as is the case with ESNZ's other disciplines. "It is believed that this will offer a HP environment more suited to the particular nature of Endurance and the skills, expertise and horsepower needed to compete with the best in the world," Ellis said.

Australia: Lancefield rider swaps long hauls for short sprint

2011 Fontainebleu Report
Endurance-belgium.com - Full StoryThe Grand Parquet, an exceptional venue located at the border of the big nationall forest of Fontainebleau. Not too far from Paris, just 50 km or so to the South. So it's easy for the riders coming from the south but also from the north (especially the Belgians) who can avoid crossing Paris and its horrible traffic jam.
A stadium, several (maybe a dozen) sand arenas (I didn't make count them), a direct access to the forest, a restaurant and a bar, permanent stables... So everything was there in place for a good event.
The organizers have designed a nice course with four different loops with enough variety. Several kind of forests were crossed: pines and leave trees. One especially scenic with huge eroded rocks covered with moss, looking a bit like some places of the Lord of the Rings. The last loop was a bit technical with several (small) hills, but no big deal as the leaders covered it at more than 20 km/h.
At the start of the CEI** there were several very talented (or promising) horses ridden by professional riders (the one living from their sport) like Laurent Mosti, Virginie Atger, Sabrina Arnold ou Jean-Philippe Frances...

Another morning but we are in the stables preparing the horse numbers

chalk numbers were retouched and ready for a new race day.
Since the municipal of budding equestrian club and the presence of the
mayor and delegate of sports, giving the output, are headed the 35

On the Km 45 of the greenway and pass the road, given the output from
the snack shop this way, the way that has been built on the old train
linking Marchena and Córdoba. Road used by both cyclists and walkers,
nature lovers and a clear path as smoke and beautiful green landscape
of spring.
This stage will take us to the slope of the Castillo de Almodovar del Rio, after 42Km route, through the countryside of Cordoba.
Castle in the most pronounced elevation of the region and Iberian origins and subsequent Roman camp being renovated several times, being the most important in 1902 by the Earl of Torralba, D. Rafael Desmaisieres.
The arrival, located along the hillside of the castle, green ground
and covered a multitude of spring flowers, witness the great rise of
two horses that compete for the stage victory, since the arrival today
was a goal, ie the first it reaches the goal is to win, of course, if
the 30 'maximum, pass the veterinary inspection accordingly.
In this struggle of arrival, Ruiz won Santi Perez, who not only won
the stage, but put in front of the general classification.
1 .- No 125 Jesús Ruiz to "Durango" in 2h-8'-57''to 19'56Km / h.
2 .- No 47 Santiago Perez to "Sayyed" in 2h-08'-59''to 19'56Km / h.
3 .- No 121 Paulette Maldera with "Louna Rivoira" in 2h-13'-19''to 18'92Km / h.
Full results of the test phase and, with all times of all riders,

The general classification is as follows:
1 .- No. 125 Jesus Ruiz in 11h-07'-36''

3 .- No. 129 Stefano Chidichimo in 11h-41'-30 33'-54''to''the
first.
Riders and assists coming from his native Galicia, I miss their loved ones, even among friends, the long strip terroir and more loves.
After the stage, proceeded to the award and concluded this, all
attendees were invited by the Hon. Almodovar del Rio City Hall, a
magnificent lunch at the tent in a courtyard of the castle.
