Control of Paces Phase When it s your turn, you will canter as slowly as possible along a measured track (probably around the edge of the arena). You then go straight onto the PTV obstacle course, and to finish you walk the same distance as you cantered, as fast as possible. The slower you canter and faster you walk, the more points you ll get. PTV Obstacle Phase A simple course of TEN straightforward obstacles, simulated to represent those you might meet out hacking, to test riding skills, and the training and handiness of your horse or pony. Suitable for ALL levels of rider, and every kind of horse or pony, these might include: a footbridge, bending poles, leading, a small jump (up to 2 feet), mounting, opening and closing a gate, rein-back, riding through a corridor of poles on the ground or an S- bend. The obstacles must be tackled in order within a time limit, and all obstacles are optional. You get points for completing each obstacle, plus bonus points for style, with a maximum of ten points on offer for each obstacle. If you want to miss an obstacle you just inform the judge before bypassing it. Examples of obstacles can be found in the BHS TREC Rulebook, along with an explanation of the way each obstacle is judged. Some obstacles will be adapted for use in an arena. Extra information will be displayed on the day, along with a course plan. How are the placings decided? The winner of each class will be the rider with the highest combined score from the PTV and the Walk/Canter phases. In the event of equality the highest score from PTV will take precedence. You will receive an individual score sheet to take home with you.
