Mission Statement

The purpose of the Arizona Endurance Riders club is to promote endurance riding in Arizona by hosting educational and social events and to encourage camaraderie. To support Arizona’s AERC ride managers by recruiting and training ride volunteers. To support AERC, the national governing body for endurance, by encouraging membership and by increasing awareness and visibility in the community.

The Arizona Endurance Riders Club (AZERC) was formed in 2019 for the purpose of promoting endurance riding through the AERC (American Endurance Ride Conference) within the state of Arizona, offering education, social events, ride support, and a welcoming group camaraderie.

We offer endurance clinics, along with educational presentations and “mini-clinics” on relevant endurance riding topics such as course navigation and marking, trail etiquette, vet check procedures, training, travel, and other areas of interest. In addition to rider education, we also provide ride management support, offering volunteer training and a comprehensive database of volunteers.

Club membership is open to anyone interested in learning about and supporting AERC Endurance riding in Arizona.
