What is BHS TREC

TREC was bought to the UK by the BHS in 1998 and has expanded into a popular and accessible equestrian activity.

Developed from the expertise required of horse and rider while out hacking, it is designed to test navigational competence, control of horse’s paces and ability to tackle a variety of obstacles.

These skills are tested over three phases – orienteering on horseback (POR), control of paces (CoP) and cross-country/obstacle course (PTV).

Competitions are run across four levels, catering for beginners through to those at international level.
