Le Trec: A SpaceForHorses network
BHS TREC is a unique equestrian sport based on the French discipline "Le Trec". Introduced to this country by the British Horse Society in 1998, BHS TREC appeals to a variety of riders with all kinds of horses and ponies.
The competition is designed to test a horse/rider combination through a whole range of activities rather than focusing on one particular discipline. The sport requires versatility and training, combining the requirements of trail riding, with jumping and correct basic flatwork.
BHS TREC comprises three phases, testing the partnership's ability to cope with an all-day ride across varied terrain, route finding, negotiating natural obstacles and hazards, while considering the welfare of the horse, respecting the countryside and enjoying all it has to offer.
The BHS is the national governing body for the sport www.bhs.org.uk/Content/Evt-BHS-Trec.asp
