Spanish Endurance Rider
About Petra Hernandez
At the 2023 FEI Endurance World Championship in Ermelo, Petra Hernandez guided her Andalusian gelding, Almohada, through a brutal 160-kilometer course in near-40°C heat, without a single veterinary hold, securing Spain’s first individual top-five finish in over a decade. She didn’t just endure; she recalibrated pacing strategy mid-race after noticing early signs of dehydration in Almohada’s mucous membranes, shifting from a conservative to a precisely timed surge rhythm that preserved metabolic efficiency. Petra co-developed the ‘Ritmo Seco’ hydration protocol with veterinarians at the University of Córdoba, now adopted by three national teams, which uses real-time electrolyte saliva testing instead of traditional gut sounds or pulse recovery alone. Her approach treats endurance not as attrition but as sustained dialogue between rider, horse, and terrain, especially across Spain’s arid sierras, where she trains year-round on limestone trails that demand hoof resilience and thermoregulatory precision no imported course can replicate.
