These rides can be organised by an EGB group or they can be part of a national ride advertised in the Handbook.
Group Rides are open to full members of EGB, associate members and non members. Full and associate members may enter at members rates. These rides are not vetted, but horses must be at least 4yo.They can be any distance up to a maximum of 40 km. They should be completed at 8 km/hour minimum speed and 12 km/hour maximum speed. However a Group may specify a class for Open and Advanced horses only with a speed range of 8 – 15kph.
National NCRs are open to full members of EGB, associate members and non-members. Associate members and non members must pay the temporary day membership rate. The ride can be any distance from 10km to a maximum of 40km (+/- 5%) and it must be completed at 8 km/hour minimum speed and 12 km/hour maximum speed. Horses must be 4yo or over. As these rides are run in conjunction with Competitive Rides, all horses must be checked by the farrier and be trotted up before the Ride. At the end of the Ride, they must present for vetting within 30 minutes. It should be noted that riders competing at EGB events are not permitted to wear spurs, nor to carry whips in excess of 75cm in length. Hats or crash helmets which conform to the standards PAS015, BSEN1384, EN1384 or ASTM/SEI must be worn at all times when mounted and must be properly secured. Footwear with at least half an inch of heel should be worn, unless a stirrup cage is used to prevent the foot from being able to slip through the stirrup. Wellington boots are not permitted in any circumstances. The Pleasure Ride Trophy donated by KBIS is open to all horse/rider combinations registered for this competition.
