Ozark Country Endurance Riders believe in the integrity of the sport of endurance riding. The basis for this belief is rooted in these concepts:

· To Finish is to Win
· Fit to Continue
· No tolerance for drug use
· Sportsmanship in competition

It is the desire of this membership to encourage the education of equine enthusiasts, to promote the preservation and use of trails and to place the welfare of the horse first and foremost.  To this end, Ozark Country Endurance Riders will follow the American Endurance Ride Conference rules and guidelines.  Therefore, Ozark Country Endurance Riders sanctioned rides will reflect the above philosophy both in management and participation while members will do so by their conduct. 

All Rides sanctioned by OCER are also sanctioned by AERC and AERC rules apply. Any breed of horse or mule is welcome. See our Statement of Philosophy for more.
