2026 Easter Marathon Wrap Up

Congratulations to the horse and rider combinations who participated in the Easter Marathon. We had excellent numbers in all the marathon divisions, including 7 nominees for the 240km, 13 for the 120k mini marathon and 15 for the micro marathon. Around the main event we also had riders taking place in stand alone 20km, 40km and 80km events over the weekend. In between all that our vetting team also took the time to train up some new TPR stewards - making it a busy weekend for all involved! Big thank you for all those who made the weekend happen!

WELCOME TO WAERA

It may seem that endurance riders are a crazy group of riders who spend all day out in the bush on our horses, but in fact this is not the case at all!  We are a family friendly group of riders who like to camp, ride and use the opportunities provided to ride some of the best countryside Western Australia has to offer. 

We can even share the camp with our other four footed friends as in most cases dogs are welcome at rides, so long as they are on leads.

Believe it or not, you don't need to have a lot of experience in the sport, or a certain type of horse to enter into a ride.  In fact endurance is a sport that encourages people of any age and horses of any type to join - we have even had a mule!  The only pre-requisite is that you and your horse are fit enough to pass the vet check before you commence.  Have a look at the Starting Out section on the Events page, to learn more.

There is not a restriction on how many rides you attend.  The choice is purely up to you on how many rides you wish to participate in per year.  You can sign up as a club member or enter as a day member, the choice is yours.
