A message from Terry James President of EDRA,

I hope that the new year is treating everyone well despite Covid. EDRA has a great ride calendar for 2021 and some new rides in the works. As elections for EDRA for the 2021 year are rapidly approaching (January 16-23), I wanted to get each of you an updated list of those that have put their names on the ballot to be elected to lead EDRA into the new year and those who have volunteered to fill the many positions that it takes to run an organization like ours. Many positions have been filled, but we still have a few critical positions that need to be filled. Please take a moment to look over the list, and if there is an area where you could help us, please contact me at thehondatstore@ yahoo.com. Many hands make for lighter work for everyone.

I hope to be able to see each and everyone of you on the trail or in ride camp this coming year.

Mission Statement

The mission of the Equine Distance Riding Association is to promote, at all levels and to all members, safe, competitive equine distance riding events and experiences. EDRA boundaries include the continental US and Canada. Lifetime miles of equine and rider will be compiled for EDRA sanctioned events within these boundaries. Central to EDRA’s mission is a robust mentoring program that supports the development of equines, riders and ride managers to their maximum capabilities while protecting horse and rider. Fun, friendly, and fair competition in a learning environment is our goal.
