Highland Long Distance Riding Club was founded in 1982 in Inverness . However due to the ever-increasing popularity of the sport, the Club expanded. Eventually Branches serving the whole of Scotland were formed. The name of the Club was subsequently changed to the Scottish Endurance Riding Club (SERC)

Endurance Riding can be enjoyed at any level! Any horse or pony, which is fit, healthy, and sound can successfully take part in, shorter, long distance rides. Members also have the option of entering the SERC Grading System. This starts at Bronze Level, progressing to Silver and ultimately to Gold Series or even Platinum level for both horses and riders.

The involvement needed to train and compete an Endurance Horse can help to develop a unique relationship and understanding which many horse owners are simply not aware of.
