Membership
Ride
Opening Date
Whether you enter online or by post you need to
check the Ride Opening date.
If you use the online system, it
will not accept your online entry before this date, and if you send a
postal entry in too early and it may be returned to you. If there is
no opening date for a ride, then entries may be made as soon as you
wish – the earlier the better, really!
Ride Closing Date
If you enter after the Closing Date
then you MUST pay an additional £8 late entry fee
(unless it is an NCR - Pleasure Ride)! You also run the risk of the
ride being full!
Ride Fees
The standard entry fees are listed in Ride
Fees. However many rides have a ride web site or a ride schedule
- these should be checked for any special fees or charges, and
details of any any special classes or rules at the Ride. If the ride
is a multi day event then a special fee may be payable for the class.
The fees for camping and corralling will also be listed together with
any other special items eg Buffet meal etc.
Ride Details
Your ride details should arrive after the
close of entries, probably about a week before the event but if you
do not remember to put sufficient stamps on the SAE it may be
delayed! They will include vet time, a route map, a ride information
sheet with directions to the Venue, an emergency phone number and
your vet sheet. They may also include a crew card (for use with your
vehicle) and a talk round.
Refunds
Postal Entries:
100% an Entry fee
shall be refunded if the Ride Secretary, on or before the Ride
Closing date, receives notice of withdrawal in writing, email or by
telephone. 100% of an Entry fee shall be refunded if notice of
withdrawal is received by the Ride Secretary after the Ride
Closing Date but prior to the allocated veterinary inspection time,
subject to the production of a supporting doctor's certificate, vet's
certificate, or photocopy of the Master Card showing that the horse
has been eliminated on veterinary grounds at a ride not more than 16
days prior to the ride entered. At multi-day events, no refunds will
be given once the event has commenced.
Refunds for stabling,
camping or corralling etc will depend upon the arrangements in the
schedule of the ride or the pre-ride information, irrespective of
ride closing dates.
Online:
Online
entry withdrawals on or before the Ride Closing Date (as
published in the members Handbook): if an online withdrawal is made
for a ride entry, the refund will be credited to the card used for
the payment (usually within a couple of weeks). An email notification
will be sent when it is done. If an online withdrawal is not made,
there will be no refund until/unless authorised by the Ride Organiser
or Ride Entry Secretary. The amount refunded will be 100% of the
entry fees paid.
For withdrawals after the Ride Close Date, the
refund will not be made until the Organiser has seen proof of the
reason for the withdrawal (as listed in the handbook).If approved
then 100% of the entry fee will be refunded against the
Credit/Debit card, and an email sent notifying the rider that the
refund has been made.
The refund of any additional payments made
(eg stabling, camping etc) will depend upon the arrangements in the
schedule of the ride or the pre-ride information, irrespective of
ride closing dates.
Refunds for stabling, camping or corralling will depend upon the
arrangements in the schedule of the ride or the pre-ride information,
irrespective of ride closing dates.
All requests for refunds shall be made in writing with
SAE to the Ride Organiser within 10 days of the ride date.
Ride
Organisers will endeavour to process refunds within 3 weeks of
receiving the request.
Substitutions
A change of horse or rider
may be made up to half an hour before the scheduled preliminary
vetting time. The Ride Secretary must be advised of any
changes. Substitute riders or horses must be eligible according to
the conditions of the class, and the rules of Endurance GB.

Associate Membership:
The Associate Membership scheme is administered by individual
Branches/Groups
but the benefits are reciprocal amongst all Groups in EGB.
An Associate Member can elect to join an
EGB Group - not necessarily the closest group to their address. They
must apply directly to the chosen Group who will provide enrolment
forms and membership cards for new members.
For
details, benefits and FAQ of the Associate Membership scheme please
