The Distance Riders of Manitoba Association (DRMA) promotes Endurance Riding in the province of Manitoba and brings together equestrians interested in the sport.

Several supervised rides are sanctioned every year, open to both members and non-members. There are, however, many benefits associated with membership in the organization.

DRMA is associated with the Manitoba Horse Council.
