RoR Endurance Series

Overview

RoR Elite Endurance Performance Award

In 2013 the RoR Elite Endurance Performance Award/Trophy in association with Endurance GB (EGB) will offer a first prize of £2,500 and a second prize of £500.

To qualify your horse must have raced in GB and be registered with RoR and Endurance GB. The horse must be ridden by an EGB member.  To encourage competition, all previous winners (1st placed horses) from the RoR series 2010 onwards will no longer be eligible to win 1st place in the same competition in subsequent years.

All Graded Endurance Rides and Competitive Endurance Rides listed in the official Endurance GB Ride Programme for the current year are eligible to count towards the Trophy. 

The standard Endurance GB trophy points are also used on an accumulative basis for the RoR Trophy.  The Trophy is for the horse, not the rider, so points accumulated for more than one horse by a single rider will be accumulated separately for each horse. The points accumulated by one horse with more than one rider will all count towards the Trophy for that horse. The points for each ride will be attributed
to the Trophy once the results for each ride have been ratified by the Endurance GB office. However, only the best TEN scores will be counted towards the total for the Trophy. 

The horse with the highest EGB Trophy Points will win the first prize. The prizes will be presented at an Awards Ceremony.

To enter for the award, owners simply have to register their horses with RoR and EGB. Provided the horse is eligible, the points will accumulate automatically through the year.

RoR/SEIB Elite Performance Awards Final Results 2011

The Ballroom at the Grange City Hotel, London, was packed to capacity for the glittering British Horse Foundation Breeders dinner and Awards Ceremony held on Saturday the 7th January, incorporating the South Essex Insurance Brokers (SEIB) and the charity Retraining of Racehorses (RoR) Elite Performance Awards for ex-racehorses.

This year's Endurance Award went to Lizzie Livingstone and Quercus Maximus for attaining the highest number of Endurance Great Britain trophy points in 2011. Lizzie and the 18hh Quercus Maximus are only in their second season of competing in Endurance and have completed a total of 9 rides this year. Runner up for this award was Lorna Kidson with Paul Wright and Margaret Donnolly’s horse Jack Dawson.

The awards provide a focus for ex-racehorses competing in the disciplines of Eventing, Dressage, Show Jumping, Endurance and Showing and have encouraged more riders to recognize the talents and versatility of the thoroughbred and their potential for success in another sphere.

These valuable awards have a total prize fund of £17,000 donated by RoR. Leading equine insurance brokers SEIB are enthusiastic sponsors of these awards with a strong company ethos in putting something back.
