Team Endurance

Endurance racing in Italy is a long-distance equestrian sport that tests the speed, stamina, and partnership between horse and rider. Riders compete across varied terrain—often through forests, hills, and countryside—with race distances ranging from 40 km to 160 km in a single day. Italy is one of Europe’s most active countries in endurance riding, with events organized under the Federazione Italiana Sport Equestri (FISE) and often following FEI (Fédération Equestre Internationale) regulations. Horses are monitored at regular veterinary checkpoints to ensure their health and fitness throughout the race. The sport emphasizes not just speed, but also horsemanship, strategy, and care for the animal.
