Except for the above

must then successfully complete at least 3x 80 km rides before such
a horse may participate in any longer distance or a combination of
at least 1x 80 km ride and two rides not further than 120 km before
it may participate in a longer ride. These ages and distance
restrictions must be read together. It is the riders own
responsibility to ensure that his/her horse do qualify for the
distance that such a rider wants to participate in. There are
however no NERA Qualifications for the foreign horses or for the
Official National foreign teams, except the FEI requirements for
