TRAINING DAY with Tina Griffen Saturday 20 Sept 2014 at The Chestnuts, Coton, Whitchurch, Shropshire, SY13 2RA TRAINING CLINIC with TOT WALL Sunday 21 Sept 2014 at Harthill Stud Farm Ride Egerton Hall Farm Shay Lane Malpas Cheshire SY14 8AE Looking for an exciting way to learn new skills and build confidence for both horse and rider? Whatever your age or experience, TREC could be the sport for you. TREC develops the skills a horse and rider needs while out hacking, with three phases testing your ability in orienteering, negotiating obstacles and basic flatwork. With competitions throughout Great Britain catering for all levels of rider from beginners to experts, TREC is a sport for everyone. The sport consists of 3 phases: Orienteering phase - riders follow a set route (either singly or in pairs), which they have copied onto a map themselves, at a range of pre-determined speeds. The routes vary in length from 10-40km and riders lose points (from a maximum of 240) for using an incorrect route or being too fast or too slow. At the higher levels riders may be asked to navigate using grid references or compass bearings only. Control of paces phase - riders must demonstrate their control over their horse's paces by cantering as slowly as possible along a track and then returning in walk as fast as possible. Points (out of a maximum of 60) are determined by the time taken for each pace. PTV [obstacle] phase - riders complete a course of 16 obstacles which are designed to be formalisations of things that could be found on a ride, each of which is judged out of 10 (maximum points available 160). The course has a time limit and points are deducted for exceeding this limit. Obstacles may be required to be completed ridden or led, and include things like riding through water, opening and closing a gate, jumping a small fence and riding or leading up or down a slope, over a bank or through a dip.
