VERSATILE TREC HORSE/PONY & FUN DOG SHOW
at WILLOW FARM EC, Hansletts Lane, Faversham ME13 0RS
on July 29th 2018
This will be a good warm up for The Full TREC later in the year – We will need HELPERS to run this so if you are free and not riding on the 29th then please contact Sally at Faversham.rc@gmail.com
WHAT IS VERSATILE TREC HORSE?????
A Versatile TREC Horse competition is a three phase competiton with an obedience test taking the place of orienteering that you have in a Full TREC.
Phase 1. Obedience Test - this is ridden in a 20 x 40 arena and the emphasis is on accuracy and obedience of the horse not how the horse goes ie: "with impulsion" etc. Tests are printed in the schedule.
Phase 2. Control of Paces (MA)- in this phase the horse & rider canters/trots as slowly as possible along a 2m wide marked corridor which may or may not be a straight line and then walks back as fast as they can.
​Phase 3. Obstacle Course (PTV) - In this phase the horse & rider tackle a course of obstacles that (in the most part) represent obstacles you might find out hacking - like a gate, a narrow path, low branches ect
​Competitors have times for each section of the competition.
Data Sheets for each obstacle will be displayed on the day.
Data Sheets & Rules in the e-rulebook on the Trec GB Website.
​
To go with this (and as most horsey people have a dog too!) we are running a FUN DOG SHOW - with classes for Pedigree & Heinz 57 alike with Champion & Reserve both getting a portrait as a prize
