The Biltmore Equestrian Center located on the grounds of George Vanderbilt’s historic Estate in Asheville, NC, will host it's annual Fall Endurance Ride to Benefit Hope for Horses on September
21, 2024. 25 mile Limited Distance and 50 mile endurance offered. All riders will be entered in
the AERC Open or Limited Distance category. In addition, we will have team competition in all
distances. Part of your entry fees will be donated to Hope for Horses, our local equestrian rescue,
and all of the proceeds from dinner tickets Friday night will be donated.
Built in 1895, the Estate trails promise a challenging ride along the French Broad River and
over rolling hills and low mountains. We recommend that all horses have hoof protection, and
potentially pad at the 50 mile distance. Breast collars/cruppers may be helpful. Each loop will
circle back to a central judging area adjacent to the main camping area. Weather is somewhat
unpredictable in late September, but it is usually humid with temperatures in the upper 70s to low
80s.
Once again, we will be using trails on the West Side of the French Broad with some excellent
views of the House. At this time, we have over 40 miles of marked trail on the West Side that we
exploit.
