le trec its new to the uk as much as i know u do stuff like cantering under branches and making your horse stand in a circle on his own for a few mins i am keen to learn more bout it though
As an explanation, Trec comes from France and is something that most people can do with their horses... it involves orienteering, getting through an obstacle course which has gates, a few jumps and a slowest canter section! A few women from my stables go and do it as it's fun and a not as stressful as competitions/shows!
Hmm....from what it sounds like TREC sounds a lot like a Western Trail class (walking horses over small bridges, polls, around abjects, opening gates while mounted and so forth.) Is it a lot like it? or am I just being odd
As far as I understand it TREC is split into 3 sections. The first is like an orienteering course on horseback where you have to navigate around a course with a map from point to point. The second bit is doing "obstacles" so this is where your crossing a bridge, opening a gate, doing some small jumps etc comes in. The 3rd bit sounds really amd where you have walk up a track as fast as you can, then turn round and come back down in canter as slow as you can. But I've never been to a TREC event yet (I need to borrow a horse first!!!!) - as far as I can tell they are quite relaxed in terms of you can wear what you want, only complete the sections you want etc. Sound like fun to me!
