International Endurance Ride Championships

PRESIDENT’S REPORT

First, let me express a very warm welcome to you all, and especially

all our international competitors and visitors.

We are truly honored to have you here in Namibia for this important

event.

It is wonderful to have so many riders, supporters, teams, officials,

volunteers, family and friends joining us in this dry arid western area

of our beautiful country.

You have made all the hard work and preparation worthwhile!

There is something unique about equestrian sports. The relationship

between the horse and the athlete is special and decisive for

success.

Being a horse person, groom, official, supporter and as a parent, I

have seen and experienced myself, the vital effect the horses have

on humans in general.

We will see some of the world’s best riders and some of the world’s

best horses test their skills in endurance riding, and we will have the

thrill of watching them in this magnificent environment, in the heart of

the Namibian Dessert.

The special bond between horse and rider taps into a timeless

universal connection that spans borders, genders and cultures.

I wish you all a pleasant stay in Namibia, and the best of luck in the

competition ahead.

May the best team win but lets never forget, “To Finish is to Win”

Dieter Neumann

Acting President

Namibia Endurance Ride Association

International Endurance Ride Championships 2018

A warm and hearty welcome to Walvis Bay 2018.

A bucket list item!

To organize Walvis Bay is a mammoth task, from planning the functions to

setting out the routes however in comparison to the ride itself, it is but a small

challenge.

We are thankful to have so many riders attend our prestigious ride and even

more thankful to have so many world class horses at Walvis to face the

ultimate challenge.

We hope you have all travelled safely and settled in comfortably. It is

wonderful to see so many familiar faces and to meet so many new horse

loving friends. A week before Walvis Bay we think never again, what were

we thinking – a week after Walvis Bay we can’t wait for the next one.

We trust that Walvis Bay 2018 will be a memorable ride for all the right

reasons and that no matter what we will remain true sportsmen/women and

treat our horses with love and respect.

To complete 120km successfully at Walvis Bay does not come easily, it takes

hours of practice and dedication and for this we thank you. There is no

Walvis Bay without you.

Thank you to all the members of the organizing committee for all your hard

work and the many hours that you put into making 2018 a year to

remember.

A horse doesn't care how much you know until he knows how much

you care. Put your hand on your horse and your heart in your

hand." – Pat Parelli

Wishing you all an enjoyable ride

Regards

Marna
