Welcome to the South West Group of Endurance GB - 
​the regional group responsible for organising long distance rides and events
​ in Devon and Cornwall.
​We have events ranging from 10-mile pleasure rides to 100-mile competitive rides.
Take a look at our Introduction to Endurance

As Coronavirus restrictions are slowly being relaxed we are hoping we can eventually run some rides. Exactly what we are able to do is still unclear but ride planning has resumed. It is very likely there will be restrictions on classes and numbers of entries. Organising a ride is always a large task but this will increase significantly due to extra safeguarding measures that will have to be put in place. More details will be available as we move forward.

​The South West Committee received the sad news of the passing of June Adams, our amazing ride secretary on 20th January 2020 after a short illness.
June had worked at South West rides for many years where she was extremely popular due to her unfailing cheerfulness. A permanent tribute to June will be announced in due course.

​EQUINE FLU - EGB South West is following EGB guidelines which you can view on this link
​endurancegb.co.uk/main
Due to an increase in equine flu cases across the country EGB has introduced a restriction on which horses can attend its rides. Entries can only be accepted for horses that have completed a course of equine flu vaccinations. This means that they must either show at least 4 annual booster vaccinations on their records, or have received two primary vaccinations which are given not less than 21 days & not more than 92 days apart. There must then be 7 clear days after the second vaccination before you can attend a ride. If sufficient time has elapsed the horse must then have received a booster vaccination not less than 150 days or not more than 215 days after the second primary vaccination.  These are the normal rules for a course of vaccinations.
Please note, we can accept horses that have had both of their primary vaccinations but not yet had a booster but cannot accept horses that have had only their first primary vaccination.
All riders must provide up to date evidence of their horse's vaccinations when entering a ride by emailing a photo or photocopy of the full record to the ride organiser. For National EGB rides, vaccination records can be uploaded to the website when entering. It is essential that you take the passport with you to the ride as it will be checked before you are allowed to unload your horses.
New Rule introduced for 2019: Members must help at at least one EGB SW ride
to be eligible for South West Trophies.

You can help on the day of the ride or to set up venue/route the day before... other help such as bib-washing will also be considered. If you volunteered to help at a ride which has subsequently been cancelled, you will still be credited as a helper as long as you had informed the ride organiser of your offer to help before cancellation.  Young riders can appoint a proxy to help on their behalf.
