Le Trec
What is Le TREC?
It's short for Technique De Randonnee Equestre De Competition and it's perhaps best described as a form of orienteering on horseback. TREC is one of the fastest growing equine sports in the world and involves knowledge of terrain, and an understanding of map reading is an important feature of the sport. TREC is designed to test a horse/rider combination through a whole range of activities, combining elements of trail riding with horsemanship skills and flatwork. You will have an opportunity to find your way along a trail using map reading skills, and to demonstrate your horsemanship skills as you manoeuvre a series of obstacles and problems that one might encounter when out on a hack.
We have made up a detailed description in this Word document.
