About this video

There is more to BHS Trec than meets the eye. Horse Hero's Fiona Price discovers it's a mind and body sport! Accompanied by British National Champion Anna Weston, we discover that Control of Paces involves dressage balance in walk and canter. The Obstacles test requires dexterity of horse and rider including immobility, bending poles, maneuvering and galloping under low branches whilst Orienteering involves map reading, plotting grid references, reading aerial photos! We are amazed by the variety of people and horses we encounter, from young to old, Western to side-saddle. Trec is a sport for everyone and a new lease of life for many!

JaniceB 1 Dec 2009 Great to see a video on this great sport but a bit too much concentration on the demands of levels 3 and 4 for my liking which may well put people off: grid refs, 8 hours riding!!
SEP 10 Nov 2009 Great video. It's so nice to see a horse sport which tests such a variety of skills but none that seem out of reach to an all-rounder, at least at the lower levels, with varying higher levels to aim for.
Anna Weston 4 Oct 2009 Thanks Qwerty & ChrisW for your kind comments. I too think TREC is a great sport but then I could be a little biased! I hope this tempts you to give it a go!
