BHS TREC training opportunities for riders in South West
Wales
In celebration of the on-going development of BHS TREC,
BHS South West Wales regional committee is to hold a number
of training events during November.
The South West Wales regional committee of The British Horse
Society have been instrumental in developing the sport in
their area. Resulting in the Chevron BHS TREC Welsh Championships
held in Pembrokeshire during 2007, as well as a number of
other TREC competitions over the last two years.
The British Horse Society introduced TREC to the UK in 1998
and is the UK governing body for the sport.
TREC events are split into three sections, orienteering on
horse back along a pre-set route, a control of paces phase
and a timed obstacle course. The sport aims to encourage the
development of skills suited to safe riding and to encourage
riders to build a good relationship with their horse or pony.
Sue Enfield from Amroth, Chairman of the BHS South West Wales
regional committee said, "We are always hoping to encourage
new riders to the sport. It is suitable for all ages and all
types of horses and ponies, the crucial test being that of
the relationship between horse and rider."
