Welcome to the website of the Cromwell Group of Endurance GB, the governing body for competitive long distance riding in
Great Britain.
Great Britain.
Our region, covers the counties of Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Hertfordshire and Northamptonshire and our aim is to provide as much information and support for both existing members of the group or for anyone interested in trying out Endurance riding for the first time and thinking of joining either our local group or the national society.
As a group we regularly organise a wide range of activities including Training/Pleasure rides and Competitive rides as well as non riding events such as Barbeques, Treasure Hunts, Quiz Nights and talks about the sport and its recent developments.
Being one of several groups in the East and East Midlands we work closely with our colleagues from neighbouring EGB groups at all levels. This extends to us helping in the selection and organising a joint team of riders of all levels of ability to compete in the Inter-Regional Championships each year.
During the winter months we also have an active Dressage for Endurance Riders series, to help keep riders and horses fit.
For information on all of our forthcoming Rides and events see our Rides and Events Section.
Our Committee meets regularly to plan the rides and event calendars and are always looking for input from members who would like to either take an active role on the committee or to organise a social function for the group.
See our Committee Members page for names and contact details.
Endurance is one of the fastest growing equestrian disciplines in this country. Almost any type of Horse or Pony can take part. There are three main types of ride in the sport.
1. Training/Pleasure Rides
2. Competitive Rides
3. Endurance Rides.
For further information on these, horse and rider qualification, ride rules etc see our About Endurance page.
