the 2011 AERC National Championship will be held on August 25 and 27, 2011 at Fort Stanton, New Mexico. Base camp is located in a large open meadow at 6,200 feet elevation on BLM land. Trails are two-track roads, others cross rolling hills and open meadows.
The 100-mile ride will be held on August 25, and the 55-mile ride will be on August 27. All entries must meet AERC qualification criteria:
* - 55-mile ride: 300 lifetime miles (horse) AND 300 lifetime miles (rider), with at least 100 miles together. The mileage requirements must be met with endurance competitions of 50 miles or more only -- no limited distance miles count towards qualification criteria.
* - 100-mile ride: 500 lifetime miles (horse) AND 500 lifetime miles (rider), with at least one 100 mile, one day ride together. The mileage requirements must be met with endurance competitions of 50 miles or more only -- no limited distance miles count towards qualification criteria.
* - Alternate qualification (either distance): If the horse and rider team has completed 1,000 AERC endurance miles (rides 50 miles or more only) they are qualified to enter.
A pre-ride over the trails will be two Fort Stanton 3-day Pioneer rides (165 miles), on July 10-11-12, and July 14-15-16. It will include 6 days of 35-mile Limited Distance, and 4 days of Ride & Tie.
