Featuring 100 photos. No other equestrian sports demand such a continuous training effort as do endurance and competitive distance riding. To reach the highest level of the sports--competing in a 100-mile ride--requires years of careful conditioning. In Go the Distance, Dr. Nancy Loving--a top veterinarian, endurance rider, and judge--clearly explains everything a rider needs to know, from selecting a horse to evaluating fitness and nutrition. Chapters include: Intelligent Nutrition, Conditioning Principles and Training Philosophy, Evaluating Fitness, Conditioning for Specific Terrain and Climatic Factors, Cooling Strategies, and Evaluation of Metabolic Health and Soundness. If you are an experienced distance rider, this is essential reading to improve your training and competitive skills. If you are just beginning, Go the Distance will safely guide you and your horse along the miles. Nancy Loving lives in Boulder, Colorado. 264 pp 6 x 9 100 b/w photos, 22 drawings and charts Review: A great addition to Endurance training books. - The book does a good job covering all areas of training and preparing and competing. A book I like a little more is the Snyder-Smith book "The complete guide to endurance riding and competition" I would like to mention a few areas they seem to assume all would already have well in hand. Ground training. In-hand training. Working at developing a true balanced athlete. Implemented for centuries. Seemingly forgotten by current horse owners. Many people seem to be under the misguided thought that classical training is for those only interested in Dressage. I argue Dressage training is the foundations for all other activities. If you care for the health of your horse, if you care to do the best you can in ANY discipline, this is necessary. And lastly, not least, is natural hoof care. next few years will show its age, by its very heavy covering of shoeing concepts. Soon to be seen as torturous and outdated. Look to Natural barefoot hoof-care. Modeled after the wild horses. Without the proper physical foundation you are on weak ground to begin with. Just look up and study a few of the books out there...Pete Ramey "Making Natural Hoof Care Work For You". Also Maureen Tierney "Natural Barefoot Trimming. The Hoof Guided Method". These are a great place to start studying. If you are sincere in the pursuit of Endurance then you have the heart for "To finish is to win!" You care. You intend on spending every day planning and training yourself and your team. You will be riding and training, and bringing your horse to cover ground in as close to the wild natural state as anyone can. I believe the healthiest way to keep ourselves and our beloved horses is to pursue Endurance at its purest and healthiest form! Train as you should, and you will both be fantastically healthy! Review: Best book I've read about endurance - Excellent book, very detailed and informative. I highly recommend reading this book whether you're new to the sport or a seasoned endurance rider. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,673,183 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,126 in Equestrian Sports (Books) #1,127 in Horse Riding (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 49 Reviews | ## Images ![Go the Distance: The Complete Resource for Endurance Riders - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71m568wT-kL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great addition to Endurance training books. *by A***Y on June 23, 2013* The book does a good job covering all areas of training and preparing and competing.
