About the Archive

The EGB archive is an collection of results for competitive endurance rides that have taken place under the auspices of the principle endurance bodies in England and Wales, for Scotland see the SERC web site

In England and Wales the main endurance society is Endurance GB. This was formed in 2002 from the merger of the two preceding societies, The Endurance Horse and Pony Society (EHPS) and the British Endurance Riding Association (BERA). BERA itself came into being in 1997 after leaving the British Horse Society (BHS), where it was known as the Endurance Riding Group.

The archive consists of three main parts:

• The EHPS results from 1986-2000
• The BERA results from 1997-2001
• The EGB results from 2002-

News Just added: EHPS results for 1984 and 1985.

These have been scanned in from type written summaries of the two years, watch this space

The EHPS was maintained to a high degree of completeness for many years by Mike Carter and users of this data owe a considerable debt of gratitude to him. This data though is split into three parts with the an overlap with the first year of EGB.

The BERA/EGB results are down, in large part to John Hudson and Olive Linge who have built and maintained and input the date for many years.

There are some other results present in the data. These are either SERC results, which in some cases count towards EGB trophies or mileage claims and some foreign rides are included.

On the whole anyone who has made a claim for a distance award through EGB will have their complete record on the system. From 1995 onwards all British horses ( EHPS, BHS/BERA, SERC and ILDRA) were required to have a log book detailing ever competitive ride there have done, either in the UK or abroad.

One of the archivist tasks was to amalgamate these databases. This 70% straightforward and about 10% impossible. Straightforward in the sense that if the horse's name is fairly unique then it is a fair bet the name in the two systems is going to the same horse. Some names are fairly common though, "Charlie" being one of the worst offenders.

The upshot of all this is that the data has some errors and inconsistencies. If you find any, please let me know by sending an email to me.
