At 7:30 behind a security vehicle the 55 competitors go past the church, then disappear as if swallowed by the Bourbonaise countryside. The Montluçon CEI** is off, despite the disruption of the itinery caused by the Cher floods.

Rapid Redux tied the modern-day United States record for wins in a single season Dec. 13, as he went wire-to-wire in a $5,000 starter allowance race at Laurel Park. The 5-year-old son of Pleasantly Perfect won his 19th race in 2011, tying the legendary Citation, who won 19 times during his Triple Crown season of 1948, and Roseben in 1905. Rapid Redux, who has now won his last 21 starts dating back to Dec. 2, 2010, broke the U.S. record for consecutive wins

We are a small stud in the Lake District, careful breeders of pure bred arab horses for our own endurance ridden use for over 20 years. We have realised how few straight Crabbet stallions at public stud are left in the UK, and have expanded our breeding of 100% Crabbet and GSB arabian foals at home and to visiting mares. Our 100% Crabbet endurance stallion Hanson stood here until his death in 2009. He had just been joined here by Winged Saint, also straigh
In the last ten years I have bred 17 Arabian performance horses starting in 1999 with the Part bred colt Zayin Shijami (by TB Noble Envoy out of Shikari PBA). Since then I have concentrated on breeding solely pure bred Arabians for racing and endurance, the first Kumara Zayin being born in 2001. We have utilised the best bloodlines available using stallions from Umm Qarn Farm, Shadwell Stud and Conkwell Stud. The band of broodmares represents the finest pr
Senior endurance rider Christine Yeoman will contest her second World Equestrian Games after Endurance GB team selectors confirmed her place on the squad heading to Kentucky in September. "I am really proud to be part of what I believe is an exceptionally good team.
"There is a very strong chance of bringing back a medal this time," said the Shepton-Mallet rider who competed at the last WEG in Aachen and twice at European Championships.
Britain's WEG endurance team of Ros Clapp, Christine Yeoman, David Yeoman (all from Somerset) and Beccy Broughton-Booker had mixed fortunes in the States. After the first four loops, Ros was the fastest of the team riders, with Christine and David not far behind and a medal was on the cards.
But after the fifth loop, Ros's horse Nazeeka was eliminated at the vet gate for irregular metabolics, which ended any medal hopes.

Endurance rides covering distances from 40 to 160 kilometers in a 24-hour period are grueling tasks for both horse and rider. So it's not surprising to learn that up to 60% of horses can be eliminated for health reasons during the competition. A team of U.S. researchers recently set out to determine which factors, at the start and in the first or second half of rides, contribute to endurance horses' elimination from competition. "To our knowledge, this is
The FEI European Endurance Championship Open Qatar Challenge earlier this month was the first time Portugal had hosted an endurance event of this level. Several nations were slightly apprehensive about the track at in Barroca d'Alva, which although was flat with generally good going was demanding and would require a 'thinking cap' to achieve a good result.
