TREC
BHS TREC is a unique equestrian sport based on the French discipline "Le Trec". It was introduced to Britain by the British Horse Society in 1998.
Techniques de Randonee Equestre de Competition has a range of activities designed to test a horse and rider as a combination through a whole range of skills rather than focusing on one particular discipline. ‘Le Trec’ has been popular in France for over 30 years and it was started originally to test the expertise of equestrian tourism guides, but quickly appealed to the tourists themselves and soon turned into a good fun competition.
There are three phases: the POR - Parcours de Orientation et Regularite - Orienteering phase, P.T.V - Parcours en Terrain Varie - the Riding Skills/Cross Country Obstacle Course and the CoP/C.G. - Matrisse des Allures - Control of Paces/Gaits
