BHS TREC Championships of Great Britain in Wales 2008
A series of BHS TREC training days and courses will take place in Hereford on the Welsh borders.
These include a Navigation Training course, PTV training (mounted), and a Kelly Marks indoor TREC competition.
Le Trec is a fun, friendly competition for riders of all ages and all types of horses and ponies, enjoying the fantastic British countryside. It involves three phases - orienteering on horseback (POR) over a set route which tests the rider's map reading ability, to be negotiated at set speeds; control of paces (CP) which tests the horse's obedience and straightness; and the PTV phase over natural fences and obstacles which test the horse's calmness and the partnership between horse and rider.

Trec is designed to encourage riders to train their horses and ponies to meet the demands of making a journey over unknown terrain. Competitors complete an orienteering course of up to 45 kms, then negotiate an enclosed course made up of the type of obstacles they could meet during a trail ride - fallen trees, water-crossings, ditches, hedges and similar 'hazards'. The British Horse Society is the governing body for the sport in the UK.
There are various levels of difficulty from Level 1 (beginners) to Championship and International standard. Competitions are held in some of the most beautiful areas of Britain, including the Welsh mountains.
Trec is very popular in Wales. Horse and rider work as a team, with accuracy playing an important role.
The orienteering section of the competition has been held in the Snowdonia Mountain range and the Brecon Beacons.
Dates for training days and competitions are available on the BHS Cymru website.
