  4. PORTUGAL NATIONS CUP – HERDADE DA COMPORTA 2010 INTRODUCTION Endurance The Endurance discipline was born in USA, in 1955, due to the hardness of the soils, step slopes of the land on which the events were performed and the equestrian sport little development. Nowadays, Endurance is one of the seven disciplines regulated by the International Equestrian Federation – FEI – and the second most practiced discipline in the world, showing the biggest growth in number of practitioners. Such development is happening mainly because of the Middle East countries involvement in this sport. Countries as United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia have invested millions of dollars on the purchase of horses, training and competition centers, as well as specialized personnel such as veterinarians, trainers and jockeys. The chosen race to acquire has been the Pure-bred Arabian, which is the horse with more skills for these events. Regarding this, the necessary conditions have been created on the European Continent in order to develop this race. All this investment has increased and developed this sport activity to perform higher speed events. Because of the improvements in the tracks, training, horses monitoring and selection, the 160km/day events, formerly won with 13 km/h speed, now reach 28 km/h. These characteristics led Endurance to perform long-distance races, with an unexplainable excitement surrounding.
