The 4th annual New Riders Endurance Clinic, hosted by Texas Endurance Riders Assoc., will be occurring on October 25-26th, 2025. Date is tentative at this point. Registration will start on Friday, October 24th. The clinic will be held on a private, 400 acre ranch outside of Lone Oak in NE Texas. It will be a two day clinic, starting on Saturday with speakers Todd Hezeau and Hope Finan discussing the aspects and fundamentals of the sport of endurance riding. John Nowell, our local Specialized Saddlery rep and ride photographer, discussing and demonstrating the importance of saddle fitting. We will also have Manda Morris coming back to discuss and demonstrate rider Biomechanics. Lunch will be provided, usually consisting of hot dogs, cold cuts and chips. We will have a pot luck dinner that evening, so please bring a dish to share, prior to our annual night ride Saturday night, for those are brave enough to ride in the dark (trail will be marked with green led lights to lead the way). On Sunday morning, we will have an intro endurance ride of about 12 miles. Dr. Valerie Bixlar, DVM will be our vet to do the vet-in prior to going out on trail on Sunday at 9a, along with our TERA P&R team Milinda and Billy. The course will be marked with orange ribbons, signs, arrows and other information to lead you along the course. course will be through open pastures and wooded areas with a pretty steep hill to climb and a creek to cross as well as some other possible wet areas. Camp will be on the ranch and there will be plenty of room for large rigs and to be spread out. There is no electricity or hook ups, it will be primitive, again, to emulate as close to a real ride situation as possible. There will be horse water and a port a pottie. The clinic will cost $50.00 per rider and will be limited to 20 riders. You can enter the clinic using this JotForm
