The Gower Riding Club BHS TREC competition will be held at Gower Riding Club Field, Parkmill, Gower, Swansea on 12th April 2008.
Le Trec is based on a French sport, and was brought to the UK by the British Horse Society in 1998. Suitable for riders of all levels, and all types of horses, the competition consists of three phases: a ridden orienteering phase, a 'control of gaits' phase in which horse and rider must walk and canter a straight course at a controlled pace, and an obstacle phase in which horse and rider must negotiate a series of obstacles, some ridden and some in-hand, over natural jumps, through gates and over similar hazards which might be met on a trail ride.
Le Trec in Wales is proving to be enormously popular, and competitions take full advantage of Wales' fantastic horse riding country by setting fun and challenging courses through beautiful landscapes.
This Level 1 competition (suitable for complete beginners to Le Trec in Wales) will include routes mainly on bridlepaths and some quiet lanes through lovely countryside.
There will be classes for both pairs and individuals.
See the Gower Riding Club Le Trec website for an entry form. Entries are limited and strictly in advance.
