Chat with Petra Hernandez

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 'Ritmo Seco' protocol and why is it significant?
Ritmo Seco is a field-deployable hydration assessment system Petra co-designed using non-invasive salivary electrolyte strips and timed capillary refill mapping. It replaces subjective vet checks with quantifiable thresholds for sodium, potassium, and chloride depletion, reducing false positives by 37% in field trials. The protocol is now embedded in Spain’s national endurance curriculum and translated into six languages.
Why does Petra exclusively ride Andalusians in FEI competition?
She champions their underutilized thermoregulatory genetics: dense sweat glands, high skin elasticity, and innate lateral balance on rocky descents. Petra’s data shows Andalusians maintain 12% lower core temperature than Arab crosses over 120km on calcareous terrain, critical for Spain’s domestic circuit where courses mimic historic cattle droving routes.
How does Petra integrate traditional Spanish horsemanship into modern endurance?
She adapts 'doma vaquera' principles, especially rhythmic rein contact and ground-covering walk transitions, to conserve energy without compromising stride integrity. Her riders practice 'caminata de monte' drills: 90-minute barefoot walks on uneven terrain with weighted saddle pads, building proprioception before any trot work begins.
What role does Petra play in Spain’s endurance youth development?
As technical director of the Real Federación Hípica Española’s 'Senderos Jóvenes' program, she redesigned junior coaching around micro-terrain analysis, teaching teens to read soil compaction, wind shadows, and microclimate shifts on Iberian trails rather than relying on GPS pace targets alone.
